lissybear sugared up

yeah, yeah, yeah, long time no post...

life is cruising along at the mediocre setting, so no reason to post about boring stuff. until today.

today, i turned forty. what is the big flipping deal? i still feel the same. i still refuse to act my age. and thankfully, i still don't look it.

anyway. we had a little birthday party at the local mexican restaurant . i have been mildy suspicious, because hubby has been all sneaky about something for the last week. (i was hoping for new kitchen cabinets) but daddy comes walking in with this box that definately was not cabinets (well, like we could wrap those anyway) and when i saw it, i realized how utterly cool my hubby is, either that, or he's been watching ace of cakes a wee bit much.

here is my birthday cake:




this is the HAVOC vehicle from gi joe (for those who are not well versed in 80's cartoons) & cross-country is the driver. i LOVE cross-country... matt refers to him as his "competition"

this, plus the raphael (YES. the teenage muntant turtle) cake that i knew about- who could ask for anything more. (well, i did get the ultimate star wars trivia book too)
