Thesis Writer? Moonlighter?

The Goods

I think I have figured out why Beth gets free drinks and star treatment at whatever clubs she visits.

Not only is she hella cute, but she’s also a television star!

Today…

…I Man-chu’d without my usual partner.


It was definitely not the same… 😦



However…

…I will be making up for it tonight when I violently assist my Nemesis with his quest.

Vague?

Yes.

Good luck, my friend!

Palindrome

Three Steves, Two Mikes, No Daves?

I had a relatively nice weekend, if you discount the odd stomach problems from eating improperly prepared Unagi.

On Saturday my parents visited to wish me a Happy Birthday, which is nice.

They chilled with us for a while, leaving late enough to have had a good visit, and early enough for us to prepare the house and yard for the barbecue we were having on Sunday.

The barbecue was a great time.

Mrs. J’s mom, some friends and other family members helped me enjoy a nice Sunday in May.

I don’t normally go around publicizing my birthday. While it’s nice to get gifts, it’s not really the focus of the day for me.

I just like to spend time with the people that I care about. As cheesy as it sounds, that’s the best gift of all.

Mrs. J managed to let everyone know ahead of time, though, so people did bring me some nice birthday gifts. Some also brought gifts for Little J, which was very sweet.

It was a mixed group of people, so it was far from boring. In fact, most of the time these sorts of groups mesh very well, because everyone learns something new and makes a new friend.

Although, sometimes I wonder if I subconsciously do it as some sort of bizarre entertainment for myself, like I’m some mad psychologist running a weird social experiment.

It was strange having no one named Dave present. Dave and Sarah visited a week earlier on their way to a shower for another friend, so it wasn’t really a Dave-less birthday.

And to answer the obvious question…

33.

Today Shall be a Good Day

Ribbit

Happy Birthday, dudeo.

Here’s hoping for a good year.

McFiggy Do

Big Night

A great time was had last night.

Some friends of ours threw us a baby shower for Baby McFiggy last night.

Due to the challenge of finding a suitable venue, we asked them to throw it at our place, which allowed our friends to come see our house.

So, not only was it an awesome party, but it also served as a stress test for our place, to see if it could deal with a relatively large crowd.

And a large crowd it was. The rooms and hallways were full of friends.



Support

I wanted to do a general thank you here to everyone who came. Your presence and presents were very much appreciated.

Raising a baby is challenge enough. Your generous gifts will make it easier to take care of our little one.

I also wanted to thank our friends who threw the shower. They worked really hard to make everything go smoothly. Several other of our friends also helped with food and drinks.

We are truly blessed.


I can’t wait for you all to meet Baby McFiggy!
