Do you ever go to write something and then go read your archives and find a post you already wrote that is pretty much identical to what you were going to write?
And you are both elated (hello link love, let’s just save mamma some typing!) and deflated (I was way funnier two years ago)?
And then you realize you just called yourself ‘mamma’ and you wonder what it says about you when you admit to yourself that you like it?
Me too.
Saturday is the *birthday. TWENTY EIGHT. I’m sure I’m supposed to be feeling all sorts of things about this milestone. Maybe I’m supposed to be freaking out because it sounds old or maybe I’m supposed to be reflective on years past, or maybe I’m supposed to be excited at what this year brings. I don’t have time for any of that. I’m excited for today and tomorrow and the day after- days where I will celebrate my birthday with good friends, cheap tequila and and an unwavering belief that Josh Lyman and I will be together one day.
I was going to write out a new birthday wish list, but this one from a few years ago is still pretty spot on. I can’t wait to see who gets me the diamond encrusted toothbrush.
Have an excellent Friday everyone! I know I’ve been lame with both commenting/posting- let’s blame the new job and the fact that my spare moments have been dedicated to re-learning grade four math. Oh! And how to classify rocks for grade three science. I wish I was kidding.
(*See what I did there? Talked about my birthday in two posts so people will say ‘happy birthday!’ twice? Yeah, just call my birthday a cow because I know how to MILK IT. )
As soon as I can figure out how to a) wrap a pony, and b) get said wrapped pony up the highway, you will be able to check that off your list.
But I must disagree whole heartedly (sp?) with the OJ with pulp. Pulp is evil.
Haha! Well Happy Early Birthday. That’s exciting!!
Happy early birthday! And nice blog, by the way :)
You’re still so hilarious to me, Brandy. I need to read back to your first post and prove this theory. Happy early birthday btw, would so love to celebrate your birthday with many tequila shots.
Well, happy birthday to you — hope you get that English accent you always wanted. Loved your list. TWENTY EIGHT is NOT old, for sure. My money says you’re in for a good year. Cheers!
Happy birthday, sugar! 28 is a good one… I’m approaching 29 and just waiting for the other shoe to drop! Have a beautiful birthday!!!
Happiest of Birthdays!!
Also, maybe I just suggest, splurge a little on the good tequila (don julio reposado is clutch) Your liver and stomach will thank you in the morning.
Have a wonderful celebration!
Happy Birthday! 28 is a GREAT year! Ahhhhh….. I LOVED being 28!!
Happy birthday!!!!
oh wait, did I already say Happy Birthday?… if not HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I think it is so awesome and a little bit of a trip that I remember that two-year-old birthday list as if it were yesterday. Ah, blog relationships.
I hope you have the very best of birthdays and celebrations! Twenty-eight is fantastic, and I say that not because I’ve been there but just because you are fantastic and I know you’ll do it up right.
And here’s where I go all cheerleader: Hugs! Have a great weekend!
Also, I’m slightly jealous of the whole rock thing, if only because it’s so very different from what I’m going to do at work today.
Enjoy your weekend and have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Damn! Why didn’t I think of posting a birthday wish list! Add that to my list of regrets from yesterday, which so far includes not seeing birthday cake ice cream on the menu until after I’d ordered butter pecan as well as insisting coworkers light the 24 candles they crammed on to a Joe Louis for me (turning it into a house of wax nightmare).
Also, I believe any love of Mandy Moore is justified by her guest appearance on Clone High. Hope that helps.
Happy birthday!
Well, shit. HAPPY BIRTHDAY again!!! :)
Have a fantastic birthday!!
happy birthday! and … yeah that diamond encrusted toothbrush is totally in the mail. no, really. just keep checking.
Happy Birthday!!!! I’d send cupcakes, but um… you’d probably get a box of cakey mess glued together with buttercream frosting :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! yay 28! i really think that the older we get, the more awesome our lives end up being. totally can’t wait to see where i’m at when i’m 28.
lol Happy birthday miss!! And I hope you get a bulldog named Emily this year, because you’re impossibly cute now, but with a bulldog named Emily? You could take over the world.
Happy Birthday! I think you have a perfect excuse for being busy. How exciting for your new job. I’m sure it will provide you with a lot of blog fodder :)
you are too cute! i see nothing wrong with milking a birthday for all you can, precisely why i celebrate my birthmonth, not day. hope yours is FANTASTIC!
Happy b-day. I’m almost 29 and I don’t think 28 has sunk in yet.
‘m just happy you made me your Facebook friend again in time to allow me to be able to wish you a Happy B-day on 3 different social networking media. If wishing you a bday 2 times is milking it, then sure 3 times is a birthday co-op dairy! :)
And if the old bday list was from 2007, then I remember it too.
Happy happy birthday lovely! Have a wonderful day and I wish you many, many more happy years to come!
If Jordan was voted out of the BB house already (THANK GOD SHE ISN’T), I would kidnap her from her new bedroom for you.
Happy 28th you little bugger.
Wait, 28 is a milestone? I thought something with a zero at the end or a birthday that makes you legal for some type of shenanigans or another was a milestone. What makes 28 a milestone? Has no one in your family ever made it to 28?
Anyway, HAPPY FRICKIN’ BIRTHDAY! I hope it’s the most tequila-soaked cake fest ever.
Hope you have a very happy birthday!
I think it is the responsibility of the birthday girl to make those around her aware of her birthday. Saves them the trouble of keeping track of the date every year. It’s really just polite.
At least that’s how I think of it when my birthday rolls around.
Have a happy merry!
Happy Birthday! Milk it for all its worth! :)
haha i love that list. it all sounds fabulous! hope you have an amazing birthday weekend! :)
Okay fine. Happy birthday!!
Just kidding. I hope that you have a great day!
I was going to give you all of Nadya’s kids (one for every other year) for a present, but I couldn’t figure out how to wrap 14 kids without the possibility of a few choking on the bows.
Would Heidi’s **new cd*** be just as precious? as a pony?
Cheers!
Happy Birthday, Brandy!!! I hope you’re having a fabulous day filled with diamond encrusted toothbrushes, cupcakes, and tequila shots! Wooo!
Happy Birthday!!!!!
Hope you are having a great day!
Happy Birthday!
..and classifying rocks was always my favorite science unit.
Okay, so I accidentally commented on your last birthday post, but I guess happy birthday last year and this year, hun!
happy happy birthday!
Hope the new job is going well!
If you can’t milk your birthday, why have one?? I’m all for making a birthday last AT LEAST a week, preferably longer. Enjoy your big day (or should I say big week)!
If I could go back, 28 is where I would go. So, enjoy today, tomorrow and the next day… and the next… and the next (I think you get the picture).
Oh, and definitely milk it for everything it’s worth.
oh… and Happy (slightly belated) Birthday!
I wish I could send you a glass of pulpy goodness. For my birthday we celebrated with mimosas and my sister complained about the pulp – so I told her to shove it, this was my birthday and I like EXTRA pulp.
Happy Birthday!
So does that mean you didn’t get my diamond encrusted toothbrush? That’s crazy talk! Birthdays are for super celebrations (also known as milking but whatevs…) so Happy Birthday darling!
Twenty-eight? Old?
Everything is relative, I suppose…
Ugh, ever accidently hit “reply” before you meant to?
Anyway, I’d also added Happy Birthday! :D
Happy belated birthday!
Happy Birthday! Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
To be filed under “Better Late Than Never”:
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
