Happy birthday, G!

Today is the birthday of my girl, Casey. Together we have-

1. Drank more than we really should have while watching men's swimming at the Olympics on the teevee
2. Defended our girl, Wendy's, honor with a baseball bat and a shower curtain rod AKA "The Enforcer"
3. Made our guy friends turn off porn at a party by doing color commentary in
Clampett voices. "GOLLLEEE! WHERE'S HE GONNA PUT THAT THERE THANG?"
4. Gotten yelled at for excessive use of profanity while watching the Iowa State/Iowa basketball game
5. Watched 'Can't Hardly Wait,' 'Office Space,' 'Dazed and Confused,' and 'Bridget Jones's Diary', oh, A THOUSAND TIMES

6. Discussed at length what we would do if we had a trillion dollars

We've cried, laughed until incontinence was imminent, groaned about bastard fuckwittage and other things that dear friends do.

So, darling, happy birthday! MWAAAH!


A new record

When asked to help clean up after dinner tonight, it only took my sister-in-law 3 minutes to develop a raging headache.

It typically takes 5.

She miraculously recovered from said "headache" upon reaching the couch.

Great shot

Oh God, I was actually rooting for United today. What's next? The Yankees? The Patriots?

I'm so ashamed.

And I swear, I've not spent the past hour ogling Cristiano Ronaldo's thighs admiring the team's athletic prowess.

Hmmm

These Louboutins are sex on heels.





















These Marcs look like my grandma's shoes, circa 1988. They say "vintage glamour," I say "Midwestern grandmother."
