Happy Birthday to me! Happy Birthday to me!

Claim your free lawn tractor!

(Spam I received today. Evidently they don't realize there isn't much need for a tractor living in a 2nd floor apartment.)

OH. MY. GOSH. I would just like y'all to know I have the BEST secret pal EVER in the WHOLE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.

I got a birthday present from her today!!!

(Sound of camera clicking)

There was A Box waiting for me today when I got home. I had to pee, but I danced around the kitchen with scissors and opened it anyway:

(Card: "Fe-lines, nothing more than fe-lines. Happy Birthday." Good card.)

There was much wonderfulness inside.

Plates, cups, napkins and FLIP-FLOP NAPKIN RINGS:


Party favors, including a beach ball, chocolate, a Tiki door topper (with metal curtain!), "champagne" bubbles...

and a little silver box with Reese's Pieces CHAPSTICK, a surfboard keychain, and more chocolate!

Entertainment provided by California CD, flip flops and BEACH SAND...(photo of party goes in frame)...


And last but not even remotely least, YARRRRRN.


Ahem. I said YARRRRRRRN!


(That is THE most lovely shade of light olivey goodness ever invented.)

I planned on posting the pictures from my FIRST box tonight, but I'll post those tomorrow.

Here at Chez I-Cord the birthday fun never stops! I'm going for a walk and then I'm gonna wear my new flip-flops and possibly put up some decorations.

WHOO HOO! THANK YOU SECRET PAL! You ROCK.
