Do I qualify for AARP yet?

If I had my druthers, I'd be spending my birthday sleeping until noon, skivving off work, getting my skate on, hitting the pool for a few hours, getting some Thai food or sushi with friends and family, boozing it up a bit, getting laid, winning MegaMillions, and then flying off to Vegas for Rollercon

t-shirt: absolutely

stoopid amounts of fun: consider it done

sushi: would love to but i have to record, practice, and pack for the trip

regardless, have a great birthday, or as best you can under the circumstances. . .

Thanks! I saw The Simpsons Movie and got my sushi fix, so I can't complain.

Hope you wreck some shop and have a kick-ass time in Vegas!

I was actually going to ask if you wanted to go out to dinner either Wed. night or Fri. I have a couple places to hit down in your neck of the woods.

Looking forward to tomorrow evening's dinner!

As another August birthday baby I was SO VERY resentful the first time I had to actually work on my birthday. And depressed. It just doesn't seem fair!

But I hope you end up having an unexpectedly awesome birthday in some way. (And we'll make sure to bring you back goodies from Vegas!)

Word. How spoiled were we growing up with our luxurious summer birthdays? I've usually managed to schedule to get my birthday off now that I'm working for The Man, but with this new job I don't have any vacation time accrued yet. Quite the bummer.

Have a blast in Vegas! I fully expect SCS to bring down the house at the Double Down. I want to hear live reports on CNN about the place collapsing under the weight of your awesomeness!

I have long-standing beach plans this weekend :(

I do, however, challenge you to an all-you-can-eat sushi contest next Tuesday. Or, perhaps, a respectable amount of food-of-your-choice dinner-eating event on the same aforementioned day. Thai, maybe? You name the cuisine and I shall take you to eat it in your own honor. With gifts, even! If they get here in time.

By the way, spuh to men's medium. SHOW OFF YOUR TITS!

Mmmmm... all-you-can-eat sushi Tuesday. Or Thai. Either way I like where this is going.

Alas, showing off my tits would also involve showing off my muffin top, spare tire, love handles, and any other euphemisms for "fat belly" you can think of. ;)

We're going shopping...and not in the annoying way that one goes shopping with Brandie or Tim or Ian. Shopping with me is awesome. I will fix all muffin top dilemmas. And I know how, because this physician has healed thine self.

#1 - Happy Birthday. 28 is a blast.
#2 - i'm definitly in town this weekend. how about a saturday shop-about the old ellicott city and coffee and sammiches at [insert ever changing name of coffee place here] or we could do drinkies.
#3 - 28 was the first time i ever went to work on my birthday. if i had my way, i never would do it again.
#4 - isn't it funny how, post-potter, the word skivving comes up in conversation and blogs alot more often?

1. Thanks! Work aside, it's been pretty fun so far.

2. Sweet. I think I may have to organize a Left Behind night out on Saturday for those of us not decamping to Vegas. I'll let you know!

3. Guh, me neither. Today was boring, but previous to that the last time I worked on my birthday I had to drive down to DC to report on some kind of chemical leak under the Southeast-Southwest Freeway. All I got for my birthday was irritated eyes, roasted-off nose hairs and a disgusting taste in the back of my throat from breathing the fumes. No thank you!

4. Totally! It's such a great word too, I'm determined to use it more in conversation.
