It was our birthday the other day

Thanks to everyone who sent happy birthday messages. I successfully did not respond to a single one of them (unless you called me on the phone). Sorry. But I did appreciate them all.

First thing I did was bake our cake (its Kolt's bday on the very same day if you didn't know! It made for some good conversation the first date we figured it out. I thought he was lying...)

And by bake I mean slave over a somewhat ridiculous Martha Stewart recipe, have the cakes totally not work out at all (think boil-over all in the oven then sink like horrible volcanoes of despair), have the frosting turn out reaaaaaally goopy, and then some how find the courage to carry on (thanks, mom!) and cut off large portions of uneven cake, slather on way too much goopy frosting, and some how pull out a pretty nice looking cake. There were times when I wanted to cry. But didn't. *whew.*

A pink candle for me, a blue one for kolt.

Des and me. Because we're never in the same pic. Ever.

Des blew out our candles for us.

I bought me a birthday dress! And I loooooove it!

 

Des liked the cake a bunch. He buzzed around the house for a good 15 minutes after, though. It may have contained a bit too much sugar for a pre-bedtime snack!

And then today we played in the snow for the first time! Of course he found his bike and tried to drive around.  It didn't go so well....

And as for my tie totals from the other day, it went something like this:

• 1,188 hits on my webpage (which is usually around 20)
• Sold something like 15 bowties (which is pretty much awesome for a day and a half!)

Thanks to Nie Nie I have a little more spending money for crafts. or ties. but probably crafts! Woo-woo!!
