e:uchina's bday

Late but a few weekends ago we went away to Seneca Lake for (e:uchina)'s birthday.

The house was nice with an overly hot hot tub, a short hike away at the tallest falls in New York(!) and we were treated to an impromptu Sara McLaughlin concert!

Now I'm 30

Last Thursday i turned thirty! It seems crazy, i know it doesn't actually change anything but it feels like i just finished school yesterday. I remember (e:mike,58043) 's 30th 8 years ago and it seemed so far away.

To celebrate, and since my sisters' partners both also turned 30 within weeks of me, my parents rented a house down in Pennsylvania near Allegheny. It was a fun weekend of games, pizzas and watching (e:Paul) learn how to unicycle.

Then last Thursday we went over to my parents to celebrate with my Aunt Shirley who i share a birthday with.

All in all a great birthday. Can't ask for better guys and family.

Getting old again

All the pictures I got of my party but I lurve you all. Now that I'm a quarter century old.

Even my sibs Mary and Daniel stopped by. And my mom, who brought a cookie cake. May have been a bit crunk by that time.

Blame the girl who pushes tequila.

I met a girl Lauren who has my exact job at Nussbaumer, 3 years after I started there.

Getting redonkulous in the backyard. Little documentation but I managed to avoid any birthday spanks.

Maria's birthday

Last night we went out to Coco with (e:mike), (e:dave), Tony and Maria for Maria's birthday.

There was way too much food to be had. (e:terry) and I split a veggie pizza but I don't think we even dented half of it after the frites.

Then we went back to have coffee and cake. I wanted to make a Chetna-styled sponge with white chocolate, lemon zest and curd with raspberry jam - but after cleaning the house all day, we ran out of time and had to buy a coop cake.

For future reference:

The sponge was dry. The baker would not make it on the bake off.

(e:mike) and (e:paul) got her another set of her favorite dishes as a present.

Surprise! Party!

So (e:paul) wanted to have a surprise party. But of course you can't expect that - so we did absolutely nothing on his actual birthday. The next day, we had (e:mike) take him to the mall (it would be suspicious if (e:terry) or I took him, I swear) while we prepared an afternoon surprise party - it started at 3 and went into the next day.

A lot of people showed up and it was a drunky awesome time. (e:libertad) and (e:mike) added to the crunk level with St. Germaine (?) cupcakes, which tasted amazing.

A lot of kitchen cramming. Here's mike and dave taking the gay finger test. Sorry, Mike - Dave is straight.

The microwave has some sass to it

I would say a good hour of the party went from attempted spankings on Paul to a full UFC-style tournament. I pinned Paul, got pulled off by (e:terry), and then had to face (e:yesthatcasey) and Troy to make it ridiculous. I actually like grappling but this was a lot for one party. Look at this beautiful bruise I won as a consolation prize.

Hope you were surprised Paul!

Happy birthday Paolo

We've celebrated (e:paul)'s 39th trip around the sun today. He worked during the day of course, but we took him to his facorite restaurant Sato for lunch with (e:Heidi) and (e:Dianne). We even drove ?.

Then went to Tony and Maria's shortly after for round two. Cheesy lasagna, artichoke and mushrooms, a million desserts.

I'm so stuffed right now I want to lay down on the floor like (e:Mike) is. Good thing because Paul got an electronic scale with a body fat measurement.

Right now we're all watching cable about a show of people watching other TV shows.

Here's to another year amazing Paul! <3 you

Happy birthday dad

Happy birthday dad. I hope it was a good one.

We took my dad for his birthday to Seabar, where he got to enjoy fish with someone for once ((e:paul))

Later we had some cake (an orange cake, his favorite) that I made. And somehow we ended up spending a half hour talking about the purple McDonald's hamburglar. Not sure why. Anyways my brother is hilarious. I wish he would write on here.

The future's so bright, he's wearing shades.

Birthday dinners at the Visco's

Once again an amazing Visco dinner - this time to celebrate (e:terry) and (e:mike)'s birthdays. Maria made this delicious cheesey zucchini dish for me - it was vegetables with a cheesy muffin top.

Our team ((e:mike), (e:paul), Tony and I) ended up winning catchphrase again, come-from-behind, over the Mickelson pair. Don't count us out!
