Birthday!!! (Almost)

Hi, all!!

Tomorrow is my 31st Birthday!! HOORAY!!

As excited as I am, it's kinda a weird number, you know?
Like, 30 was such a big deal, but 31 is just so.... odd.....

Lindsay and I are going out for a fancy-shmancy dinner tonight,
followed by karaoke at Iggy's (of course!!).

My 30th Birthday Party!! A 70's and 80's Extravaganza!

My sister threw me a costume party for my thirtieth birthday! I decided to go for a cross between Kate Pierson of the B-52's, and Tracy Turnblad of Hairspray.










Lindsay went as a sexy lady trying to get into Studio 54 - I would say that she didn't have any problems getting in!!




















Precious kept everyone's coats warm while we giggled, ate, and sang some karaoke. Speaking of which....











Lindsay was truly a "Dancing Queen" when she sang!!












Sarene and Andy, dressed up as Deborah Harry and Elvis Costello. Great costumes, right??

















Yadira and Jessica dressed up as Obi-wan Kenobi and Punky Brewster. Their costumes were FANTASTIC!!!




















Suzanne, who always has some of the best costumes, dressed up as Cyndi Lauper. Her outfit was FABULOUS!!!














I sang "Flashdance - What a Feeling" for my big karaoke number. It is always one of my favorites. (And, yes, I do own my own karaoke machine).

All in all, we had a great time. The food was great, the company was fun, and the singing was boisterous.

Thanks for such a great birthday, everyone!!!

30th Birthday Celebrations, Part I

Hello, all!

I am already enjoying my 30's! My birthday was kicked off on the evening before my birthday (last Thursday night), and continued all day Friday. Yet, this is only part one, because my sister is throwing me a birthday party this coming weekend. Here is the celebration so far:

Preparing the perfect birthday treat: One Ho-Ho, One Twinkie,
Some Redi-Whip, and a Shabbat candle. What else could we possibly need?




Ah, the finished product...


Making a wish....


I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll.....




Oops, I missed...



Lindsay, with a pompadour, using the cordless phone as her mic.
Brilliant, just brilliant.


Oh, the humanity!!

Toasting my birthday - out to lunch with colleagues from work.
The tiara and the mimosa are just perfect, non?



Stay tuned for more joyfulness!

I've Been Tagged!

Kentucky Shan over at Rambling Shan tagged me earlier today. So, friends, what does this mean? It means I get to be a part of a fun new game (a meme) that involves sharing some information related to things in history that have taken place on my birthday.

If I tag you, you have to go to Wikipedia and type in your birthday (month and day)...Then write down 3 events, 2 births, 1 holiday, and tag 5 friends (leave them a comment saying their tagged and refer them to your blog for the rules).

Here's mine, for March 28!

Three Events:

• 1930 - Constantinople and Angora change their names to Istanbul and Ankara.
• 1978 - US Supreme Court hands down 5-3 decision in Stump v. Sparkman, 435 U.S. 349, a controversial case involving involuntary sterilization and judicial immunity.
• 1979 - In Pennsylvania, a pump in the reactor cooling system fails in the Three Mile Island accident, resulting in the evaporation of some contaminated water causing a nuclear meltdown.

Two Births

• 1969 - Brett Ratner, American film director
• 1981 - Julia Stiles, American actress

One Holiday

• Slovakia, Czech Republic - Teachers' Day.

I Tag:

Come One, Come All

Superconductor

I Speak Because Others Babble

stuff.

Writing? Loves it...

If you want to do the other meme (The Mutation Meme), Here are the rules:

1. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.

2. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.

3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.

4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.

5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

If you want to see what this one looks like, check out Skittles' entry.

It's your choice!

Thanks so much, Kentucky Shan, for inviting me to play :)
