New decade - New Cake

Birthday Month...Birthday Week...BIRTHDAY...Birthday week...repeat the next year 

basically folks I love having any reason to celebrate...however there is something about birthdays that turn me into a five year old kid who couldn't be more excited for the jumpy thats going to be at their birthday party.  WOW actually at what point did someone decide you are too old for jumpies bc its not true its just not! I had some great times in those things.
it's not just my birthday, I will turn anyone of my friends birthdays into an extravaganza and I haven't yet figured out if I do it more for them or myself.  I am the life of the party, I am always loud and going crazy, in fact it's possible to say that I am the party.  Sometimes librarians don't appreciate my natural loudness but honestly I'm still not sure how to correctly whisper, instead I end up sounding like I've been smoking for about 36 years and honestly who wants to hear that? The point to this non sense is that I got a noise complaint last night bc I lost my shit when they sang me happy birthday with my three cakes in front of me 

I will willingly admit that I needs help, but climbing on that chair was necessary, having 3 cakes was necessary, and I regret nothing.
Also look at this cake #winning

Speaking of cake this birthday a light in my heart went out.  Two Words: RAINBOW CHIP
This is a type of cake and frosting that is made by Betty Crocker. My first cake was made with Rainbow Chip cake with rainbow chip frosting, a lot of people make the mistake of calling it funfetti and while I understand the mistake one must also understand that they are completely different things. Sprinkles make up a funfetti frosting and little chip candies make up Rainbow chip frosting.  Quite different.  So good ole betty decided that she should discontinue the frosting and start creating a new one with sprinkles.  WUT! currently hating betting for ruining my one solid tradition in my life.  My friends suggested twenty was a great year to start a new one so I have now moved on to Baskin Robbins and their ice cream bakes, heres to hoping that Robbins doesn't let me down.

After a cake rant like that I cant imagine you would want to keep reading so here are some pics from dinna where the party began with all of my amazing friends who dressed up to celebrate with me

Daddy's Girls

Growing up playing a sport I only had friends who were daddy's girls.  Their dads drove them to practice, played catch with them in their free time, and never missed the weekend games.  I remember being a daddy's girl when I was really young. I have memories of us laughing, getting each others jokes and annoying mom with our relaxed attitudes.  Slowly as I started growing up you began to disappear.  It was a slow disappearance but I see it so much bigger and clearer now.  I remember as a girl wishing that you would put forth even an ounce of the effort that my friends dads did.  I wanted you to care more about me and what I was doing with my life than getting a new pack of cigarettes or another 40 pack of beer.  I hated having to figure out what I was going to say on the way to games to my teammates when they asked where you were again and why they had never seen you around. For a while I bought your excuses but you raised a smart girl dad and I knew deep down that what was going on was bull shit. As the years went on I lost you more and more until the man I remember having so much fun with was no where to be found.  The drugs and alcohol ruined you and it makes me so sad to know that you are a different person now. I wish that you would have been stronger, I wish you wouldn't have given up so easily because I know the man you used to be would have been so embarrassed by this person who consumes your body now. No matter who consumes you the actions you've made toward me mom and your other daughters are inexcusable. I'll forever love the man who worked two job to support his new family. The man who taught me about God, Jesus, and all the worship songs.  Who taught me how to fish and how to push moms buttons just right. and the man who taught me that a lie is always worse than any truth, no matter how bad.  and if that man is still in you somewhere I want to wish him a happy birthday!  I want him to know that I love him and he can call me anytime.  I hope you have a good birthday dad and that someone can show you the love that I no longer have the strength to give you.  I miss you! I hope you find your strength again! 

To all the daddy's girls out there be thankful for the number one man in your life who taught you things your mom couldn't have, and who gives the advice that brings tears to your eyes, and who looks at you with such proud eyes.  Go call your dads ladies and thank them!
