It was my spechl day.

Madison made this card for me. She let Max add the little orange smiley face, but that was it.

She was right, it was my spechl day. Real, real spechl.

Logan unleashed a bit of Jackassery™ on me yesterday and well, it made my birthday full of comments like, "Are you stupid? Seriously, are you stupid? Just answer the question okay?"

But as a friend pointed out, everyone can perform acts of Jackassery™, except Jesus. He performs a lot of acts but Jackassery™? Not really.

I'm mostly over it.

We had a wee cake because when we buy a cake at the store, we always throw away over half of it. And though we get twice as much for the same price as this wee cake, those cakes taste like candle wax and kitchen sponge. This cake was amazing.

Here I am blowing out my candles. I made a wish.

I wished that someday soon we wouldn't be eating off a card table in the dining room because our dining room table is packed full of toiletries and various home remodeling items.

Also I wished that TrafficMaster Stainproof Grout never entered our lives.

Amen.

The best part about having a not-so-good birthday is that the year can only get better from here.

PS: I also wished you'd send me pictures of your favorite hats.

awww. happy birthday!

And the cake thing? Oh yeah, we made that decision too -- no more shitty slab cakes from Costco when there are real cakes with real buttercream frosting (mmmm butter) out there.

Happy Birthday! That's the cutest cake ever.

[Jenn]

Love that cake, so cute! Happy Birthday!

I dread my birthday every year because every year on my spechl day, my normally sane, loving husband morphs into a petulant brat and the day totally sucks from beginning to end.

[Chris]

yesterday was my birthday too. happy day to you.

[chris]

I love that cake. I would totally keep it for myself and not share.

happy Birthday. you are spechl.

[rhonda]

Beautiful cake!
Happy Birthday~

[Shawnee]

De-lurking to say Happy Birthday! I hope this is the start of a Jackassery™-free year!

Oh, & TrafficMaster Stainproof Grout? Has totally cured me of ever wanting to attempt a home improvement project more involved than hanging a picture.

At least you have good beer. And good hair.

[Sarcomical]

aw, Melissa. i'm sorry for the jackassery part. they pick wonderful times for that, don't they?

but i agree, your hair looks really great. ;)

at least there's that. oh, and your sweater is cute.

and that cake rocks.

What a coinky dink [is that how you spell that?]? My husband was doing his own little jackassery thing the other day. I told him "I'm sick and I started my period today AND you're still the biggest bitch the house." He looked at me like "huh?" Yeah, you heard me.

So anyway, awesome cake. Happy Birthday [late]! I hope you get that bathroom done soon.

I love the cake, love the cookie, love the card, how preshus is that? I love the fiesta ware! I have the same color, and 5 others.
Hope you have a good day today!

Happy Birthday. You look so pretty blowing out your candles. And it's not easy to look pretty with your eyes closed and your mouth scrunched up.

The best hat in the whole history of the internet has to be Roo's Fish Hat.

Holy Moley! I thought I was the only wife in the world who's husband morphed into a brat on their birthday. I'm floored. seriously.

Firt off I like your blog a lot.

So I was reading your most recent post thinking jeeze what happened to this lady, has she completely let herself go??? you sounded to negative, though I totally know how that feels.I spent a whole year where all I talked/joked about was how fat I was.

Anywho I read through this entry and saw your picture and you look great! mid blow and everything! I love the argyle sweater too :)

If you really feel like you need to lose weight try Weight Watchers. I swear by it! I feel 100x better about myself than I did at this time last year, and it was not hard.

Last but not least my favorite hat. http://www.coldstoragedesigns.com/d/buzzhat.jpg
