That had to be the messiest dinner that the baby has had since he started solid foods. Good lord. It wasn't so much that stuff went everywhere but there were just an absurd number of peas and pieces of fish in his chair and on the floor. I don't think he ate much. After I had cleaned all of that up and was putting stuff away into the fridge, I started thinking about how I miss breastfeeding. Feeding him was blissfully easy for a few months. Now it's complicated and, at times, annoying. Oh, well, there's really no point dwelling on it and getting sad now is there?\

Anyway, I'm not sure if I replied to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. I received so many emails and LJ comments, it was pretty overwhelming. So I want to send out a big thank you to everyone who did. It was very sweet of you.\

Yesterday, and came over for the Carnivale marathon. 9 straight hours of watching TV. It was a little intense. They were sweeties and brought me a birthday present: Choke by Chuck Palahniuk. Rawk. After they went home the boyfriend and I (attempted to) watch U-Turn, which is one of several movies that we borrowed from a friend. I found it incredibly boring and tiresome, which might explain why I fell asleep halfway through. The boyfriend liked it, though. Jennifer Lopez was in it and was looking generally much better than she does now. However, I suppose since I didn't see it in 1997 and saw it now that Ms. Lopez is kind of…weird, I didn't enjoy it as much as I might have.\

Perhaps I'll write more later. Right now I have to go read The Cat in the Hat….again.

So, my birthday booty was belated by a few days, but I did end up getting some. Let me just say that when Tom has to make up for lost time he does so thoroughly. Holy shit. It was definitely one of those out-of-body kinda experiences and several injuries were sustained. (I hit my head on the floor lamp and the nightstand, for example.)\
25 is off to a good start.\
🙂

I think I'm going to pull a Jessica Simpson with this laundry and just throw it over the huge staircase of my palatial mansion hire someone else to do it with my millions buy new clothes whenever mine get dirty pee on them. Then sing a shitty song about my husband's huge wang and how I'm, like, so totally not a virgin anymore…cause, you know, I waited until I was married to do the deed and I'm, like, the first person to EVER do that.\
Actually, I'll probably just do it…but I'm not going to like it.\
I mean, really, I shouldn't have to do laundry. I'm important! See the cell phone?!?!\
Right now, me and the babe are snacking on some pita while I cool down. I had forgotten what 76 degrees feels like and went out for a walk in a very warm shirt. I thought I was going to pass out. This last burst of Indian (Native American?) Summer is doing a number on my wardrobe choices.\
I'm feeling better now, though. I'm going to go give my kid some actual lunch.\
Then I'll be back to tell you about…stuff.

I've consumed so much…stuff today. I think my stomach is going to burst. I just had beer, which is making me feel especially bloated.\
I was only drunk for about ten minutes this evening, and the extent of my goofiness was when people would wish me Happy Birthday, I would wish them the same.\
The boyfriend's mother: “Happy Birthday, Kelly!”\
Me: “Oh, thanks. Happy Birthday to you.”\
\
TBM: “Uh, no, it's just your birthday today.”\
Me: “Oh, right. *snort* I'm stupid.”\
The boyfriend's grandmother: “Happy Birthday, Kelly!”\
Me: “Oh, thanks. Happy Birthday to you.”\
TBG: “Uh, thanks.”\
\
Me: “Oh, wait, it's…nevermind.”\

We went to Projekthaus for Pseudo-Sauce. wins the Best Sport Award for gladly entertaining me and by skating back and forth while we sat on the couch and laughed. Also spotted: , , and (who I didn't know was an LJ user. Fancy that.\

Anyway, the baby's costume was a huge success. I don't know if I told you guys, but he went as Hunter S. Thompson. He looked so funny and he managed to really get into character. He must have been in here watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas while the boyfriend and I were asleep. I took plenty of pictures so hopefully I'll be able to put them up here in a day or two.\

Alright, I'm very tired.

Other Halloween babies:

-Piper Perabo, 26, Lead “actress” in Coyote Ugly
-Peter Jackson, 42, Lord of the Rings and Dead Alive director; main P.I.M.P. in New Zealand
-Rob Schneider, 40, of Saturday Night Live fame (best character has to be “Sensitive Naked Man”); also appeared in every absurdly shitty movie made since 1990
-Stephen Rea, 57, I know I've seen several of his flicks but I don't remember him in them. He used to be married to an IRA bomber. That's nuts.

I am 25 today. Holy crap. All I can think of right now is that line from Singles:
“Somewhere around 25 'bizarre' becomes…'immature.'” Time is now up for me to be bizarre, at least according to Bridget Fonda, and I'm also older than some of the characters from movies that I saw during my formative early teen years.
Anyway, my mom's present to me (besides staying home from work today and waking up with the baby) was having my PG article, correction and all, matted and placed in a very nice frame. The baby, via my mom, gave me a glass paperweight that says “MOM” on it. The boyfriend gave me the first season of Twin Peaks on DVD. Very nice gifts.
My dad sent me this beautiful card yesterday that was kind of gushy but made me burst into tears immediately. I'm such a wimp.
My mom just left to go pick up my grandparents and my aunt, then we're having dinner and cake and whatnot over here. I'm not sure what we're doing tonight.

…

It's a beautiful day today. My mom says that it was just like this the day that I was born.
I love Halloween, and I love the fact that my birthday gets to be today. I wish it was like this every day.

Before I show you the pictures, let me explain a little something about my “digital camera.” Last year, the boyfriend gave me an Archos Multimedia Jukebox and it came with a camera attachment. I can take digital pictures with it, but it doesn't have a flash and I don't think the pixelage is even anywhere near “mega” territory. So I had to take the pictures outside and since I was in the sun, I couldn't really see what I was taking. That's why they're kind of crooked and…sucky. Anyway…

I know this is kind of fuzzy, due to the close-up, but the price of this particular pumpkin was $3.14. It's Pumpkin Pi! Ha! I kill me.

This one is just sort of a smiley face.

What the smiley face will look like when it's fully displayed and lit up.

Spider pumpkin.
Edit: note the ladybugs on these last two pumpkins. Total infestation over in my neck of the woods. At least they don't sting.

Witch on a broomstick. (No offense to any real witches/Wiccans/etc. who are reading this and think that I'm buying into a stereotype. I just thought that it looked cool.

Smashing the Mum! So far today, my son has:
-closed the front door on me while I was out grabbing the newspaper
-closed the back door on me while I was waving good-bye to the boyfriend
-slammed a cupboard door on me while I was putting some breakfast stuff away
Right now, he's in his crib and I'm preparing to go get a shower.
I'm a little cranky today because the boyfriend came home after I had already gone to sleep, then proceeded to eat pretzels in bed, snap the covers off of me every five seconds to brush the salt and crumbs off of the sheets, and inform me that the pumpkin seeds had not been baked long enough. All of this occurred while he watched Point Break, the movie in which Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves scream “NOOOOOOO!” and “FUCCCCKKKKK!” and “FBIIIIIIIIIIII!” at each other for two hours. I was not pleased.

I'm baking pumpkin seeds. I'm nervous. This is the first time that I've attempted to do so. I'm convinced that I'm going to screw them up.
…
I don't know, but I think that they might taste really good with a little bit of cinnamon and nutmeg. I'll save any spice adventuring for the next time.
All of my pumpkin-carving is done. I've saved one for the boyfriend so that he can do a traditional, goofy one. His bumbling kitchen knife is no match for my trusty precision cutting tool. haHA! My pumpkins look really great. If I can get some pictures of them tomorrow I'll post them for you to see.
I'm not promising anything, but expect a lot of these random posts from me tonight. I'm in the mood.

As per 's suggestion, I switched my default icon to that happy-go-gory picture that you see above. It's in honor of Halloween, of course. The story behind that picture is a nice one. My birthday, if you didn't already know, is on Halloween. A few years ago, three to be exact, a legendary store called the Eye of Horus was closing down and as their last hurrah were having this all-night/rave/Halloween/generally weird costume party. I went dressed as Carrie, hence the blood and froufy pink dress. surprised me with a birthday cake, which was quickly devoured by all of the freaks present. See for yourself:

Holding the cake is my ex-boyfriend. He smelled really bad. I don't know how to explain my pose. To the right of me is my dear friend Ike. He was wrapped in tin foil and was posing as a robot.

I don't know who that guy is eating some cake. I look uncomfortable, don't I? Probably coming to the sad realization that I was only going to get that shitty little piece of cake while those other ingrates were going to get all the good icing bits.
