This is my birthday week!
Usually at the beginning of March you start hearing “It’s my BirFday Month!” chanted, sang & thrown slyly into a conversation.
I haven’t really done that this year. I don’t know why. I like thirty four. 34 is WAY better than 24. This means I am one year from 35 which means i’m 5 years away from 40. THAT is a good thing! You might ask, “Why is she excited about being 40?”
HELLO??? Have you not seen my mom and sister?
Our genes show that the older you get, the more smokin’ hot you get! We went to Vegas when Kathy turned 40 and I had to get a stun gun to keep the guys away from her.
It will be nice to be 40 and be walking down the street and have a guy almost hit a garbage can because he’s staring so hard at you.
Right now, at 34…I will get the occational contruction worker pull up next to me and give me the eye.
I then turn around and look in my MINI VAN at the FIVE PLUS children crammed into it and then look back at him like he’s on crack.
One day when the van was crammed full of older kids I got someone checkin’ me out and one of the kids noticed. I looked over and he was all kindsa googly eyed. I was SHOCKED! I think I had like 8 kids in the car at the time and this guy was pimpin’ the mini van!
“No pimpin’ the mini van! THAT IS WRONG!!! EWWWWWWWWWW!!!”
The kids just started laughing hysterically.
“I wouldn’t care if the guy was HOT, if he’s going to pick up on me while I am driving EIGHT kids around in an UGLY MINI VAN…he has no class or taste WHAT SO EVER! EWWW…no pimpin’ the mini van. ick.” So yes, bring on 40! I will then be able to drive a car that doesn’t require 12 airbags. >Have I mentioned it’s my birthday week? Yes, Friday is my birthday! THIRTY FOUR BABY!! Okay, that was a lame attempt at getting excited for my birthday, and I am very sorry for the all caps and lame ass use of ‘baby’ at the end of the sentence. Yes, I felt like a frat boy for 3 seconds. STUFF PORTRAIT FRIDAY is all about my birthday. Yes, I am getting selfish in my old age huh? BRING ME ICE CREAM! 1. Take a picture of something you own that you’re ‘gifting’ me with.
(you don’t really have to give it to me, it’s a ‘CYBER’ gift – so go hog wild!)2. Write 3 words that describe me on paper and take a picture of it.
3. A self portrait of you doing a dorky face in the mirror.
Wow. Lookie there. I asked for something for me and only me. BABY STEPS DR. MARVIN!
Shaun keeps asking me what I want for my birthday. I already bought it off of ebay for 25 bucks. The picture taken with that present is at the top of the page. Yes, another lens. It sounds crazy, but I can tell you which one of my lens took what picture. I’m that big of a geek.
What do I want from Shaun for my birthday? A CLEAN MINI VAN TO PICK YOUR CHILDREN UP IN! Yes, I want you to clean like you have OCD! spend like 12 bucks on quarters to suck the living shit out of the carpet that houses more fast food salt than any other vehicle on the road. The dashboard…ARMOUR ALL THAT BASTARD! I mean, NOOKS AND CRANNIES of the car.
I know a GREAT example: Remember how the inside looked when we bought the car? YEP! That’s what I want for my birthday.
(I’m thinking he would rather just go buy a new car than clean the one we have) and there you have it. Tuesday’s post.

Oh, and Happy Birthday! 34 was great. I’m 37. I’m closer to 40 than you! na na na na NAAA NAA!
My mini van has more french fried in it than McDonalds.
IT’S MY BIRTHDAY TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SAME DAY, ONLY I’M OLDER.
Aren’t you worried about all the hot chicks who’ll be hitting on me as I clean the minivan? I mean, what’s hotter than a guy vacuuming a minivan at the gas station? meeeeee-freaking-OWWWWWW.
You know honey…I will have to take that risk.
This post has SO MUCH ENERGY!! I love it.
I’m gonna try so hard to play this week, but I leave tomorrow for a 4 day ‘business’ trip and I don’t know if I’ll have time to take the pics and save them in Blogger. I will try though. Now I just need to think up a funny face.
I just watched VH1’s KID ROCK special. I heart him.
Oh man, to have a clean car…..
You are already smoking hot at 34, I can’t imagine how much hotter you will be at 40! Lucky you to have such good genes! I love your energy and your writings! I hope you get what you wish for (clean car, I pray every night for a fairy to drop some fairy dust and poof, clean car! hasn’t happened yet) and wishing you a wonderful birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday week! I need some of your positive energy in terms of turning the “BIG 4 0”. I will turn the “BIG 4 0” in July. Right now I am sick with pneumonia so I feel like I am about 80 right now. So maybe turning the “BIG 4 0” will be a rejuvination of sorts.
I read your blog all the time and rarely comment so I thought I should just jump in here with both feets..err hands. I am on bedrest and what better time to just launch in!
Awww…I’m leaving tomorrow afternoon for Florida. But, for you I will have my pics up tomorrow before I leave. But, Happy Birthday in advance since I won’t be around Friday!
HAPPY ALMOST BIRTHDAY!
You’re already hot.
Can’t wait for Friday! I will party for ya….and my SC friend and RSG…yep you were right – I will be drunk by noon but not before posting my SPF!
I am gonna get ya something really good….cause you will just have to repay the favor in JULY!!! that is when I will be 34!
So mark you calendar – July 14….hahaha
LOL. Every year for my birthday, Mother’s Day, etc. my hubs takes my car to the ethnic side of town with all the auto shops and gets the super-cheap-ass-but-better-than-any-white-kid-could-do detail job on my car. It’s always my favorite gift. Truly the gift that keeps on giving….until the kids trash it out completely again.
My heart sank last night when I saw my young, cute yoga instructor hop into a mini van after class. No pimpin’ the van is right.
you are so young to have three girls! It’s a good thing you are getting married. I could totally see you guys in ten years, hitting the town together, picking up guys.
Don’t feel like a geek. I would be HAPPY to get another lens for MY birthday.
Life truly begins at 40 Kristine!!!! I am 46 now and the past 6 years have been the absoulte best! You have a lot to look forward to.
I gave up my truck to the shop today and a hundred and fifty bux later it’s brandy spankin’ new. A lot of money you might say, but I bet I fed a family of 4 for a whole week with the crumbs they gathered up from my floor and seats, so it was well worth it. :)
Happy Birthday week to you!
Also: Mini-vans rock. And some guy giving you The Eye while you’re driving one filled to the brim with kiddies is GREAT. As Prince would say:
You’ve got the look, you’ve got the hook
U sho’nuf do be cookin’ in my book. ;)
You have some serious hotness to look forward to, Kristine. Fonzarelli and Dash are gorgeous.
Wow! Gorgeous family! And great blog! :)
It seems like everyone has a birthday in March. Mine is next Wednesday. I’ll be 23 on the 29th. Happy Spring and Happy Early Birthday. SPF sounds interesting this week, I’ll be back Friday.
Happy Birthday
Juat clicked on your site from your comment on dooce.
Love your masthead. Nice work.
As for mini vans – I know I really miss my sexy, black Acura Integra. I must say, I definitely got checked out more in that – and I didn’t mind. I am not sure if I get checked out in my mini van – i haven’t noticed…too busy opening yogurt tubes and juice boxes.
As for birthday van cleaning – it really is the ultimate gift. Still waiting to receive it and i know it ain’t never going to happen…
too fuckin funny…
happy early birthday hun…
peace…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Kristine! And 34 is an awesome age! It is so refreshing to hear someone who is excited about their age as opposed to being depressed about it.
