Too Much Birthday Party.

Saturday we went out with friends to celebrate Logan's 36th birthday.

Also we were celebrating his completion of the Run Through Hell without any incidents of Runner's Trots. Poop and running is a hot topic in our house lately, specifically keeping the poop part out of the running part.

We went out with Cari and Joe.

There are a few things one would want to know about Cari and Joe. Cari weighs 45 pounds and is so petite I feel like an ungainly mammoth around her. I sometimes fear I will crush her with the weight of my teeth. Also she has lovely thick hair and I feel compelled to lick it. I'm not sure why. Probably because of the black hole in the top of my head and also because my hair has stopped growing, entirely.

Joe is a photographer Logan sometimes works with. Joe is a very patient photographer who once took pictures of Max for some sort of work related thing. It was supposed to be a simple picture of Max on Logan's shoulders standing in front of a shiny pick up truck. It ended up taking 34 consecutive hours and 231 Rice Krispie Treats to get Max to smile for the picture because my children, though much cuter than me, have the same hatred of the camera I do.

Joe wears nice shoes and stylish denim and he also wears his shirt both tucked and untucked because he's a versatile type of man. He has a great sense of style because he is dating Cari who is very stylish and writes about style and is actually a photo stylist. She knows about style people. Cari and Joe were an integral part of the transformation of my husband from regular guy to metrosexual guy...and I'm not sure if I should thank them or curse them.

When Logan first started working with 'Joe Vaughn', I thought he was either Jovan like the musk or Giovan....and quite honestly I expected a very snooty and annoying photographer who was so cool he wanted just one name. But as it turns out he's just Joe!, and he's nice and normal and exceedingly stylish.

We went out with a few other people too. Rebecca, who is shown here enduring an Awkward Hug from me. I'm not much for the hugging as you can clearly see from the photograph. Also, Jeff who is very pretty, in a more handsome kind of way than my other pretty friend. I'd like to see him go head to head in the 'Pretty Pageant' with our friend John to see who the prettiest in the land really is.

Brad was there also. Brad shares a first name with our lawyer. When I sent Brad the pictures of our night out....I accidentally sent them to the lawyer, who most likely doesn't really care about my night out.

I object!

Keep in mind I'll share these pictures with you Internet so I'm not really that horrified. But it's one thing to stick up pictures of yourself behaving poorly for whomever happens upon them and an entirely other thing to personally request someone look at pictures of you licking someone's hair.

There was another lovely young lady there Saturday night. I took a lot of pictures of her and she's the newest roomate of Brad and Jeff and she's also very tall and while standing near Cari makes me feel like a behemoth, standing next to the new roomate made me feel like a short and portly little person. I'm a horrible and very portly little person with zero social graces because I have forgotten her name.

Also in attendance was Logan's bicep.

It was a fun night and we arrived home at 1am and Mr Roboto headed off to the office at 8am the following morning. Abandoning me, a mere mortal woman, with a hangover and two children who deserve more than a lump of crackling brains laying on the sofa. But that's what they got. That and a bowl of cereal and all the tv they could watch until their Robotic Father came home later.

You can see the entire collection of images here, we even played a little of 'Pretend You're With' but it just wasn't the same without John and Asa.

Oh My God! I want you to go out more often just so I can read HILARIOUS updates like this! I'm CRACKING up right now...and I just know my kids think I'm a LUNATIC. But I don't care.

The captions are what did me in..."So you're identical triplets?" Freakin' hilarious!!!

[jovan]

oh my god was I a bit of a drunk fool...
Thanks for being so kind with your comments...

We must go out again. This time I need to keep it a bit calmer with the "danzig" secret devel sign.

and I must post the same message twice and spell devil wrong both times as I work on a photo shoot for logan in the middle of the night.

Damn if you don't have more fun going out in MI than I ever did. Your hair licking photo is so funny, I'm going to be chuckling about it all day. You are the Evil Mistress of Humor, and you can put that on your business card.

[Jenny]

I swear I pee my pants every time I read your posts! lol Can I come and party with you guys?!

[Jenny]

I meant to say that I pee my pants from laughing so hard...not just pee them for no reason..hehe

[Melissa]

Phew, I was going to suggest you see a doctor or maybe stop reading my posts. ;-)

[emily]

I have to remember to take my camera out from now on.The results are priceless.Or maybe they do have a price...a blackmail price.lol

[briantologist]

God damn, that's fucking hysterical. Proof again that above all else, I need a pocket-sized digital camera. For drinking. Strictly for drinking.

[Melissa]

Try The Digital Elph For All Your Drunken Galavanting Needs!

[Lil' Sis]

Once again, why was I not there?!
You weren't kidding about the new roomate boy, Jeff. Hoo-hah, WHY was I not THERE?!
(ugh. boy-crazy again.)

miao.

Hysterical as always, Melissa! Hey, I have a shirt from last year's Run Through Hell. Is it because I ran it? HA! I laugh in your general direction. We ran in to some of the participants at a bar after last year's race and someone left a shirt behind (uh, he hadn't been wearing it, just to clarify.) No one claimed it by last call, so I kept it. Shameful, I know. But I was drunk.

That's what I need. A good ol' fashion drunken night out!! Next time I go out drinking, I'll have to bring my camera. I love the comment about "boobs" making the face.

Happy Birthday to Logan.

The best thing for a hangover when you have to handle the kids right off the bat is a Starbucks Venti Bold coffee. Take the coffee and pour it over ice. Down it as quicly as you can with four Motrin. Then drink water all morning. By lunchtime you should be back to your normal self.

[Sarcomical]

I'm very impressed with your ability to watch women like "Boobs" congregate around your husband! I'd be like a hockey goalie slapping those giggling girlies out of the way. I think?

Then again, it's gotta be nice to know you've got him when "Boobs" wants him. So there, giggle-triplets!

You are too funny with the captions! You. Make. Me. Laugh. ;)

[patti]

I have one of those 'poncho-like' articles of clothing. In fact, I have three! Does that make me fashionable? ;o)

Glad you guys had such a ball. Your lawyer has probably, by now, emailed your 'drunken festivities' pictures to the entire Michigan Bar Association.

[Melissa]

The poncho articles of clothing mean that, yes...you are stylish! And when I hang out with you in Chicago....I'll be with even more stylish people while I remain entirely unstylish.

I am hoping to avoid licking your hair on said trip. Please consider pulling it back or something.
