i had a birthday shout hooray

this shouldn't surprise you but i had a birthday and i am OLD now. my lover organized a little dinner.
he was super happy about planning a party.

so...if you are reading this blog and are my friend and didn't get invited to come to dinner, please don't be mad. i am so scatterbrained and didn't tell mark all the people to invite. but seriously you should see my wedding invite list. i am adding people all the time that i forgot. hello grandma. so i am preoccupied. anyway we went to the coyote grill and it was lovely.

remember a few posts back when i said i was a teetotaler? (oh you don't remember because my blog is so boring you don't read it anymore?) well if you remember that, it is no longer true. i am a lush. the waitress brought me this drink and said it was for me from cubbie. so i took a sip and i thought...this tastes funny and so i had mark take a sip and he was like that has a LOT of alcohol in it. so i told the waitress we wanted a virgin and then cubbie started laughing about how it was he birthday joke and she had known all along that it was alcoholic. oh man!! 30 years and this was my first taste of alcohol. not good, even in a margarita. (this shot was a reenactment)
when we got back to mark's house for delicious strawberry shortcake, mei li had organized a puppet show with laminated pictures of all our friends so no i can make magnets out of them for when we move to washington. cute. thanks mei!
and thanks mark. and thanks darci. and sorry friends left out. and sorry mom for being an alky.

nobody's first sip of alcohol should be a margarita. tequila, blech.

i was robbed.

no dinner and no laminated puppet.

BUT - i guess a blog post of motorboats in my honor makes up for it. mostly.
