birthday

Many thanks, Peggy.

December 23, 2009 by Lauren 5 Comments

40 thanks, to be exact.

Peggy sent a hilarious present in the mail that she received at a white elephant exchange. I love it! It’s a ukulele box that will have a place of honor in our house. She filled it with 40 paper clips and 40 post-its.

They shall come in rather handy.

There was also a bag of 40 suckers with a very appropriate phrase. (I don’t know, though – 39 was pretty rough. Is 40 going to be worse?)

Thank you, Peggy – you made our day(s)!

Behold! The Day of My Birth

December 18, 2009 by Lloyd 13 Comments

Today I join Lauren in the fourth decade. We are going to celebrate my birthday by celebrating Lauren’s Other Birthday. I’ll be taking her to Omaha where we will probably do the same things we always do in Omaha.

birthday-boy

We’ll go to Nebraska Furniture Mart. This time we’ll no doubt spend a lot of time looking at the stoves. I will count the number of stoves and report back. We will go to Nobbies and look at their crap. We will go to the Casino and spend $20 among the people who don’t look like they are having any fun. We’ll go to the snooty outside mall, but I won’t know why we’re there. If we spend the night, we’ll go see a movie.

Somewhere along the way, something unexpected will happen and I will end up having more fun than Lauren. Feel free to speculate on what that might be.

Happy Birthday to Lloyd!

December 19, 2008 by Lauren 26 Comments

“Today is my birthday! Behold the Day of my Birth!”

Look at all his glories.

Today Lloyd may or may not have a snow day. Under normal circumstances I’d be horribly jealous, but I hope he gets to stay home today. I’m proposing a little game for this auspicious occasion. I like to make fun of Lloyd on various occasions by making that extra ‘l’ stand for something. For instance: If Lloyd has been relaxing on the couch all Saturday and can’t be bothered to come and see the adorable thing the cat is doing, I’ll say, “Lloyd. The extra ‘l’ is for ‘lazy’.” Today, though, let us not cut him down, but rather build him up! I’ll start!

“Lloyd. The extra ‘l’ is for lazy!” Dang. That wasn’t right.

Happy Birthday to me!

December 17, 2008 by Lauren 9 Comments

*sigh*  The buffer year between me and forty is gone.  I’m 39 today!  I’ve got two whole days to lord my oldness over Lloyd before he joins me, and believe you me – I’ll milk it for everything it’s worth!  I’ll try to be nice, though, because I really like my present.

I didn’t really melt that wax on there.  I’m not THAT crazy…..yet.

I share this auspicious day with the handsome Bill Pullman and the cake meister Duff Goldman.  (Hey, Baltimorians, make Brad take a picture of himself outside Charm City Cakes for me.)  So, well-wishes are welcome!  Bonus points if it rhymes.

Happy Birthday, Tim!

July 2, 2008 by Lauren 9 Comments

A year ago today, Beth gave birth to Tim and the Pester family grew a little. Beth once remarked, “Would you please do one of those that will makes Tim’s first year of life fly by in a minute and a half?”  I gave it my best shot, but it’s actually closer to two minutes and a half.  Thanks, sneaky Uncle Brad for helping to take photos.  Hee hee.

As you all know, my regular tech guy is out of town, so here is a grainy version of the movie.  I’ll try to fix it later.
