Happy Birthday To Me!!!

For those of you who have never seen the elusive pumpkin pie with birthday plumage I happen to have proof of it's existance right here. This is an excellent specimen with 38 candles in the rare doublled up pattern making this look like it was intended for someone who was turning 19 when in fact it is intended for someone twice as old. This trick of biology is rare, in fact I do not think you will ever see another one so you had better enjoy this peek. The candy corn border is also exceedingly rare and makes this an even more exotic specimen. Eye candy as well as mouth candy! Does life get any better than this? Maybe topless pumpkin carving with temporary tatoos, a dash of bacon salt, or the last Robert Jordan book but those are probably the only things that can compare.



As I accept the award for the coolest birthday pumpkin pie ever I feel I would be ungrateful if I did not thank my Mom and my Kids for coming up with such a great birthday pie. Could this birthday get any better? The answer, if you have a family as great as mine, is absolutely!


Here is my present from my parents, my own man chair. Life does indeed get better. You should note the cushiony goodness of this recliner in it fully relaxed mode. Can you imagine yourself sleeping in this chair while you are staying home sick from work with a head cold? Could you see yourself reading a depressing and uplifting book while you are staying home from work with a head cold in this chair? I sure can. I should try that someday...


So you might be thinking that I have reached birthday nirvana at this point but you would be wrong. Things do get even better. I got a call from each of my siblings (except one who we are excusing because she is cute and very far away) who told me they loved me and are glad that I am their brother. Life is very good indeed!
