I, my friends, get to go on another fabulous birth-date today! After the recent success of Mom B's birth-date excursion, I could hardly contain myself knowing that another opportunity for hog-wild-birthday-extravagance was just around the corner. So, in short, what I am trying to say is, "Thanks Mom S for letting me take you out to celebrate your uh, um, 35th birthday!" (Let's not do the math on how old that would have made you when you gave birth to my lovely husband. Child bearing at that age is frowned upon in our society.) Hope y'all can come along and join us!
What better way to start our day than a trip to the salon to get all dolled up. First, hair. What shall we do? A new cut? A trendy new style? Maybe a sexy little updo to attract the gents?? Let's check out our options.
The stylist suggests this spunky little chop-chop number. We both agree that it may be a bit much to actually get a cut. Birth-date celebrations are, after all, just one day. You would hate to be left with a spunky little chop-chop number for the rest of the year. How about a different style??
Extensions? Possibly some beachy body wave and highlights?? Yeah, your right. Not really your thing. Besides, judging by the photo on the stylists mirror of the haircut she gave her own kid (poor little Timmy), we are decidedly against the use of scissors or instruments of the hair persuasion.
With poor little Timmy in mind, we both decide on a relaxing hair treatment, complete with lilac scented hair products, a scalp massage, and pedicure. They threw in the pedicure as an extra special birth-date treat. We each select our polishes and let the team go to work. Make us beautiful boys!!!
Wow, that was simply divine! With our heads tingling (our heads are supposed to be tingling, right?!?!) we head off to our next stop on our birth-date excursion; lunch. Lunch was a tough one. So many options. So many wonderful places we could go. In the end though, I decided to choose based on what you would MOST enjoy having for your celebration; a big, juicy, cheesy, burger.
There is always the BIG burger option. I fear this may be a little much for the lunch hour however.Then there is the cheeseburger with personality. So many varieties.....blue cheese, cowboy burger, southwest....downright scary!! Don't think we will be eating this one!
Cheeseburger in a can? No.
Ahhh, now this looks just about right. Mmmmm, I can almost taste it now!! Add a serving of crispy salty fries and we are in business!!
Mmmmm, what a delicious lunch. The best thing about it is that now it is over and we can move on to dessert!! Yahoo! This really is the best part of any birth-date celebration. We decide to indulge in what I like to call a chocolate binge. Basically, this means we go from one delightful chocolate shoppe to another and eat A LOT of chocolate. Sound like a plan? Great!
We start with some good ole' milk chocolate.
Next, onto some truffles.
After that, we decide to get a little adventurous and go for a big old slice of chocolaty cake. Don't worry, we didn't eat it all. We clearly removed that sliver of a piece to take home for Hubs, Brother, and Brother-in-law to share. Aren't we generous?!
Finally, we make the ultimate stop in a chocolate lovers adventure.
Yes, that's right folks, we go for a leisurely and delicious swim in the Chocolate River at Wonka's Chocolate Factory. What? You didn't know I was friends with Wonka? Yeah, we go waaaay back. Luckily, we make it back outta the river, unlike that poor little chubby boy who got sucks into the pipes! Yikes! The Oompa Loompa's were an extra little birth-date surprise!
Whew, now we are satisfied! Onto our last stop of the day; a show at the Fireside! I do know how much you enjoy the Fireside and I have actually never been. It is perfect. You can show me the ropes.
We sure did take in an interesting show!! Good thing I snuck our video camera in and got some footage. Now you can remember this little gem forever.
Wow Mom S, that sure was an eventful birth-date! I hope you had as much fun as I did! Can't wait to do it again next year!
Happy Birthday!!!
