birthday week 2011 – day 7 (wind down & linky love)

February 5, 2011 in Family & Friends, Life, Politics, Radical Unschooling with 2 Comments

Today is the last day of my birthday week. I’m winding down.

Going to clean up Legos off the floor so that the almost one year old that I kidsit for tomorrow doesn’t try to eat them.

I see that doing dishes are in my near future.

It’s another beautiful Winter day; currently it’s 38 degrees F and bright and sunny. Almost feels like early Spring.

Unschooling parents are lazy…

And so what if we are?

Speaking of ‘Unschooling’, if you are looking for nuggets to strew or you are just looking for a new blog with cool things, try over here.

Desecration (remember, there’s roll-over text people)

Also, Thaddeus Russell’s book, A Renegade History of the United States, came up in a Facebook conversation. Open your mind, drop your white progressive liberal pc politics for a minute and read it.

And then, if you still want something else to read, but are looking for something not so serious, try:  A Dictionary of Modern Slang, Cant, and Vulgar Words: Used At the Present Day in the Streets of London (1860), by John Camden Hotten

And, last but definitely not least, go check out my Dear Other Half‘s Flickr sets.

 

birthday week 2011 – day 6 (glorious sunshine)

February 4, 2011 in Environment, Life, Photographs, Pittsburghian with 0 Comments

Slept in.

Went and fetched donuts and danishes while my Dear Other Half cooked breakfast.

Erika, from Green Circle Farm, stopped by to deliver our grocery order. She might come back by later tonight for a couple drinks with us.

I took some pictures of the glorious sunshine outside for you and I to enjoy. So, enjoy!

My week is almost over :(

Wonder what is waiting around the corner for me?

 

birthday week 2011 – day 5 (lunch date)

February 3, 2011 in Family & Friends, Life with 0 Comments

I went to eat lunch with my friend Rachel and her baby girl, Mabel.

We ate at a new vegan restaurant in Robinson; Loving Hut is the name.

They have their own TV station, Supreme Master TV.

Food is really good, prices are reasonable and atmosphere is interesting.

I highly recommend the fried wontons and pho.

Unfortunately, I spent the rest of the day/evening being ‘emo’ about all the bad/sad juju of last week – everything finally catching up to me (can’t keep up with keeping my I-am-okay-face on or pretending that things aren’t bothering me).

A good xkcd for you.

 

birthday week 2011 – day 4 (new tattoo)

February 2, 2011 in Life, Photographs with 0 Comments

Well, as predicted and promised, I got my new tattoo (or the outline of it) done today. I’ll go back and have the color done in 2 or 3 weeks.

You can find the rest of the photos on my Facebook album.

Before I went and got my tattoo, The Gyres and us all met up at Affogato and had lunch.

Tonight, is ‘date night’. We’re going to go eat sushi.

Birthday week is going well so far.

 

birthday week 2011 – day 3

February 1, 2011 in Family & Friends, Life with 0 Comments

Today. Day Three.

Woke up a tiny bit before noon.

Called my G-ma back; she & Grandpa wished me a Happy Birthday.

Ran to the bank to deposit birthday monies.

Went to Affogato in Bellevue and had two soy chai tea presses, a bowl of lentil & mushroom soup with dry wheat toast and worked a crossword puzzle.

My parents called me while at the coffeeshop to wish me a Happy Birthday. They’re alive and not too buried in snow from the Snowmageddon 2011 in Oklahoma.

Came home around 2ish, sent Dear Other Half off to work around 3ish. Watched some Freerunning/Parkour videos with Elijah.

Aunt Becky called me around 4:30p to wish me a Happy Birthday.

Have checked in with Facebook & Twitter to tell everyone thanks for the birthday loving.

Looking forward to getting my tattoo outlined tomorrow.

Tonight, when William gets home from work, I’ll get to snuggle up with him and watch him play Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. It’s like a historical video game version of Freerunning/Parkour (and you get to kill ‘bad guys’… if that’s your thing)! Oh, shut up! It’s pretty to watch.

An easy birthday is what I wanted and so far, that’s what I’ve gotten.

This is blowing my freaking mind! I’m like, “wow” and “OMG” and “microwaved potato chips… can’t be true”!

Elle Randall shared this link yesterday and said, “Next time someone writes WASH ME on your dirty car, show them this”. I am in agreement.

birthday week 2011 – days 1 & 2

January 31, 2011 in Life with 0 Comments

Yes, we have birthday weeks around here – why only celebrate like mad men for one day? My birthday week started yesterday, Sunday, and will last until Sunday, February 6th. My actual birthday is tomorrow, February 1st. I’ll be turning 29 years old (and no, I won’t be ‘holding’).

So, yesterday, to get things started off right for the week, I spent my evening with my Dear Other Half and some of the most amazing folks in the ‘burgh at Cheerleaders Gentleman’s Club! Yes, that’s right, I started off my birthday week by going to a strip club! I also spent my 21st birthday in a strip club (somehow, I don’t think that info helps my case at all!). Don’t you judge me! Our dear friend, Courtney was one of the featured bartenders and that served as a perfect excuse to engage in some debauchery for my birthday. Unfortunately, instead of being happy with the Maker’s Mark that I had been drinking all evening at the club, I decided that some wine was an appropriate way to end the evening before finding myself in bed. Two bottles of wine.

So, today, day two of my week, has been a bit of a wash. I’ve had to nurse myself back to health, because I am no rockstar and did not need to drink like I was one. That’s okay, we all make mistakes (learning-takes) and I’ve learned a lot from this one.

I’m looking forward to a pretty easy & simple day tomorrow for day three of my birthday week. I think I might get up and get myself a nice hot cup of tea at Affogato.
