Gorgeous Birthday Girl on the Big 11

The Birthday Girl received the COOLEST "Girls Only" makeup kit from Gramma and Auntie...so before cake, we HAD to play beauty parlor. She looks so sweet -- Dad told her he was buying a shotgun and she was not allowed to leave the house until her steel body cage and gamma-proof blinders were done. BOYS ARE EVIL. Remember that. Repeat after me. BOYS ARE EVIL.

She ain't buyin' it.

The reverse mantra is true for her older brother -- God have mercy -- who is now 14 and a HALF, which means in just over six months, Blake can get his LEARNER'S PERMIT! If you live in Washington state, I would move NOW before darling Blakey gets to the DMV and the state agrees to issue him a plastic laminated card with his adorable face on it, a card that gives him PERMISSION to operate a multi-ton piece of machinery on the open road. Man, glad I live in Canada!

So after we ate 2/3 of the cake -- okay, after MOM ate 2/3 of the cake --I've been dubbed the Baby Elephant as I eat all the friggin' time and when I am NOT eating, I'm looking for something to eat -- I'm still breastfeeding -- that's my story and I'm STICKIN' to it -- speaking of stickin', anyone have any brownie mix? ANYWAY -- after WE ate the cake (sans ice cream because I FORGOT--got hung up at the lady sampling mini-pizzas), we SCRUBBED Yaunna's face and made her look like a youngster again. Made me feel better to know that my kid really does look younger than she is because then maybe all of those dumb BOYS will leave her alone. I might just lie to the middle school next year and tell them she's a prodigy and is really only 7, so she should be protected from all those hormonal pre-pubescents. Omigod...I'm going to have palpitations. I think I will finish this and go do some typing before I lose my job and get fired and end up living in my van down by the river. (Any Chris Farley fans???)
