The Big Three-Oh
So. Today's my birthday. And do you wanna know how I ushered in my 30s?
Probably not, but I'm going to tell you anyway.
I used a folded leaf to extract something sticking out of my dog's butt.
Now if that's not a celebration, I don't know what is.
In other news, my husband appears to have forgotten my birthday. I mean, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt for now. But this morning has been ... well, average (aside from the dog-ass debacle). We got up, fixed the kids breakfast, got Colin ready for school, Curtis got ready for work. And so far ... so far ... I've not gotten so much as a "happy birthday" from him. No acknowledgement whatsoever.
I'm pretty sure that isn't because he's planning some huge surprise later. He typically isn't that kind of dude. It's most likely because he actually forgot, and will try to play it off later. Like on our third wedding anniversary, when he told me my present was "in the car" ... after which I heard the car start up and drive away. To the store. To buy me a present.
I got some sweet earrings out of the deal, but still.
I can't complain too much though. I woke up this morning, which is a definite plus. I didn't morph into a total wrinkled hag in the wee hours between 29 and 30, so that's cool. I did wake up with a pimple, but maybe that's just my body's way of being like, "Hey, you're still young. Because only youngsters get pimples."
Right?
RIGHT?
*cricket, cricket*
To add a little bit of awesomeness to the day, I get to give away the Eden Fantasys gift certificate!
And the winner, per random.org, is ... drum roll please ...
Commenter #5 ... amy rae!
Congratulations! And if your name isn't Amy, don't worry ... I've got at least three more giveaways up my sleeve, y'all.
Anyway, I'm off to change a diaper that I have neglected for the past fifteen minutes while writing this blog. Which means it'll be nice and squishy. Oh, yay!
Have a great Monday, everyone. :)
Happy Birthday, hope you don't have to get anything else out of the dogs butt. Best Wishes!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you!!!! And no fair putting nummy looking cupcakes at the start of your blog. and then proceed to tell us about the leaf and the dog. yuk.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I think it is totally unfair to be at an age where pimples and wrinkles are both a possibility. I mean, come on. But anyway, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!

I follow your blog, I read your blog lots of the time, and now I will wish you a Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteYou slay me. The dog but debacle, pimple and all. I'm gonna go with a big fat YES, it's totally your bodies way of letting you know it's still young. But, just so you know....STILL breaking out like a teenager over here and I'm 37. Seriously!
ReplyDeleteHope Curtis remembers and that your day turns out FABULOUSLY, 'cause you deserve it.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy, Happy Birthday! Hopefully hubby comes home with a cake and pre-cooked dinner and the dog doesn't need anymore medical procedures.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUUUUU!
ReplyDeleteAs far as dog butts are concerned, one time my dog ate a piece of my hair, but she only crapped out half of it. With a turd on the end. So she was wandering around with a turd dangling from the bottom of an invisible piece of hair swinging from her bunghole... I almost peed myself laughing while I made my husband deal with it. . .
Speaking of husbands, I hope yours comes through for you with a ridiculously fantastical surprise birthday party that rocks the socks off everyone in the house. Or at the very least another nice pair of earrings ;)
Welcome to your thirties, momma!
hApPy bIrThDaY girlie!! Welcome to the 30's. and I'm sure your dog is grateful.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!!! You are adorable. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd the dog butt...yeah...I just send the dog outside and let it fall off. Trouble is...my one dog has long hair and sometimes it falls into the hair and dries. So then I have to wait until I get the energy and enough facemasks and then I cut it off. EW!
well happy birthday! and SOMEBODY better tell your man about this big day and he better pony up and get you a nice gift! he better!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!! Don't worry about your hubby, he will remember and feel horrible and get you something even better than he would have if he remembered!! :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy happy birthday!!! I can promise you that the 30's are excellent. I'm loving mine so far!
ReplyDeleteHappy B day!!! Now that is a celebration!! Nothing says birthday like extracting things from a dog's rear LOL... your husband should have at least offered to extract it for you, that would have been a nice present! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy 30th....you youngin! Your hubby better remember....maybe you'll be getting a bigger pair of earrings if he doesn't!
ReplyDeletehappy Birthday!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHooray! I won! My name is Amy....but my last name isn't Rae. That's not a problem, right? :P
Happy Birthday. Yep, this is pretty much how I see all my birthdays going from here on out. Thanks for the encouragement.
ReplyDeleteHappy happy birthday! I hope he makes it up to you with a really good present.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to your 30's! (they're really not that bad)
It's not every day a woman turns twenty ten and I am sure tonight's celebration is going to be AWESOME, right?? Right!! You are gonna LOVE your 30's - much much better than the 20's guaranteeeed!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, since 30 is the new 20, you are still in your twenties!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get more than just poop. :)
Happy Birthday to my youngest daughter! I'm so proud of you, and I love you so, so much! XXXOOO
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Welcome to the 30's club! Stay a while. I plan on never leaving!!!!
ReplyDeleteDig something out of your dog's butt?!?! seriously? Holy crap Rita! I read your other post that you are celebrating this weekend (thankfully). Hope you have some delicious martinis:) Oh, and YAY I WON!!!! I'm about to do some tintillating shopping now;)
ReplyDeleteWe talked about this last week and then I had one hell of a three-day weekend that included broken toes (mine), ear infection (The Boy), dentist visit (The Girl), and a whole bunch of other stuff. All of which to say: I'm sorry I wasn't around Monday to wish you the happiest of birthdays. So, any suggestions how I should spend the last 13 hours of my 20's?
