Yesterday was new years day for the world but for us it is Mike's birthday. That's the big deal in our home but as any of you with holiday adjacent birthdays will know its tough to share your big day with the rest of the world... We don't do much for new years. For me it is because I have never been a big new year reveler. If I want to go out drinking I want to do it without the rest of the world crowding in around me... so I would much rather celebrate my hubby's birthday anyway... Mike's dislike of partying for new years probably comes from several things, his birthday being new years day a big part of it...
So new years eve we had a couple drinks, watched a couple movies, made a couple pizzas and a couple of ice cream sundaes, put the K to bed and watched Monty Python until midnight...
The very next day we woke up a little early, cleaned a little around the house and prepared for a little brunch. Our friends came over and brought their daughter... K & T kept each other busy for the entire day while we laughed and drank, talked and played and had the general merriment that comes from a nice day with nice friends...
All the while a shadow was looming and outside forces sought to press "the birthday issue" with Mike... he doesn't really like to celebrate his birthday... give him some champagne, K & I and some friends and that is sincerely all he needs...
The day ended on a low note... His parents are for some reason irritated with him, he went to sleep agitated and because of the way the day was going he had no birthday cake.
NO BIRTHDAY CAKE??? I know oh the humanity... that brings us to the happy cake... oops I mean easy bake oven... He's not much of a cake eater... but for Christmas K got an easy bake oven... all he wants is an easy bake happy cake... so we're going to give it to him... it is a 2 layer yellow cake with chocolate frosting, his age in red icing and star shaped candles around the whole thing...
shhh... don't tell...

I want an easy bake oven. I am going to make my brother get me one for xmas next year. He owes it to me since he stole mine when I was 5.
I feel like crap. I totally spaced Mike's birthday. Of course it's my brother's bday too, and I did not forget him this year, but I at least try to call and have you tell Mike I am thinking of him and he totally escaped me this year. I am feeling like crappy friend. :(
I would have MySpace'd him or something... anything if I had remembered!! My bad.
Please tell him happy late birthday. :)
Love you all.
