Happy Birthday Shout Out

Due to work issues I don't have the time today to type out a random thoughts post but I didn't want to let today go by without a Happy Birthday shout out to my buddy AbsolutGator. Hey Bro, It's not the big 4 - 0 just yet but we can't get much closer. Hope you have a great day!

Oh and for anyone who wants to give him birthday spankings be careful because this picture clearly illustrates where he likes them. HAHA!

Happy Birthday Bro !!

Dancing with the Stars--Finale!!!...And Birthday Pics!

The showdown began with a "Cha-Cha Face-off". All three couples took a turn performing at the same time. The song was a highly energized "Dancing on the Ceiling". Two of the couples were able to convert that energy to dance. Unfortunately Jason was not. He just doesn't move his body and especially his hips as much as he needs to for Latin dances. Cristian did a great job but Kristi totally blew the boys out of the water. She is a total package with style, movement, finesse & energy.

Next up was the freestyle round where ANYTHING goes! The stars really took this to heart with their dances. Kristi was unstoppable with her Mambo/Hip Hop combo. It was totally cool & fun. Tons of moves served up very fast and on the beat. Garnered her a well-deserved perfect score.

Jason kicked it up a notch with his funky freestyle. It was like watching a strip show...they both just kept losing clothes! There was a moment in the beginning where Jason was breakdancing which tickled my funny bone. As always the lifts were awesome with Jason's height and Edyta's body. She is a contortionist!

Cristian finished up the show with a routine that had some impressive one-armed lifts but didn't really measure up to the others in terms of originality. It felt like any other latin dance from the season.

If Kristi doesn't win this thing tomorrow night I will be greatly surprised and disappointed. She is clearly the runaway winner and has been since Day One. So now that the DWTS season is over, what's next? Well, for you die hard fans, I've found out that Wii makes a Dancing with the Stars game! How much fun would that be at a party with your drunken friends! I wish I had known about this before my birthday!!!

Well, I promised you all some pictures from my birthday. The first one is a close up of the front of my dress. If you look closely you can see my butterfly tatoo peeking out. And yes, it was VERY low cut!

This is the back shot. I got a little sunburn on my shoulders at the park that day.

Lastly is my belly button ring that Hubby gave me. The dangly thing is an emerald, my birthstone.

Oh, and here is a better look at my special Birthday Wine glass. Bina--the website is http://www.sbceramic.com/.

So tell me...Would You Rather...

Have to imbibe all liquids using a thimble?

OR

Get a bucket stuck to your foot and not be able to shake it off?

Cheers!

Let them eat cake!

Not Miss Merry :(

Good morning everyone! I had a great time last night! It was probably one of my best birthdays ever. I got to have a day all to myself to do what I want. I got to have lunch with my BFF. I spent 1-1/2 hours at Altell (wait, that wasn't a good part). I was hoping to get my new phone but they won't let me until next Fri. Something about being within 90 days of your contract expiring. Well, why didn't you just tell me that when I got here instead of wasting my time?! *end rant*

As someone mentioned last night, I don't just celebrate THE DAY, I celebrate the whole week...sometimes longer. Mostly it started on Thurs morning when I got myself a salon spray tan. I look like I spent a week on Barbados (I wish). But the nice part is...no tan lines...anywhere. Then on Thurs night I got a manicure. I just love getting beautified. Sometimes I am such a girly-girl! So being sufficiently pampered I had to have a new Birthday Dress!

We first went to The Wine Room for a pre-dinner drink. My friend Jane gave me a decorated glass for my birthday. It is beautiful and had people giving me well-wishes all night. Way more sophisticated than a hat!

Doc, Patrick's Mommy, Apple Hubby and I all had a couple drinks and then went across the street to dinner. It was a beautiful night so we sat outside. All was great, listening to some live music when there was some screeching. These 2 little girls were dancing and singing, which got us to talking about Karoke. Now, I love me some Karoke. One of my previous lives had me working in a bar that had karoke every month. It was a great time to stay after shift and sing a few tunes. I wonder if Doc has the same position on this as Rock Band. After all, isn't karoke like making fun of the "real" songs?

Anyway, after dinner we all went back to The Wine Room and I got my heel stuck in the door jam going in. Not the best way to make an entrance. Here we were joined by my BFF and his wife. BFF took one look at me and asked if I was sober....Hell No! Apple Hubby decided to give me my present since everyone was there. Isn't it cute? -->

No, seriously...he got me a custom made belly button ring with a dangling emerald. It is BEAUTIFUL! I'll try to get pics of it up later.

Anyway, the cake was yummy. This picture is not exactly what it looks like but you get the idea. The best part of the whole night was that I got to spend time with people I enjoy, drink wine and have everything be all about me. What more could a girl ask for...except maybe some pie?! Of course I got virtual pie bright and early yesterday from Doc, Mt Cat and Absolut. Thanks for making my birthday great Blogger Buds!

Happy Friday, Happy Birthday and a Must read PIMPING

Happy Friday everyone!!

The weekend is finally here (almost).....

and

Happy Birthday Apple... Mt. Cat and I made something for you:

-Doc

(edited to add the following)

For any of you who have not read my friend Knight's Open letter to Rock Band I implore you to visit her site immediately and read her excellent commentary on this scourge of the earth that is destined to subjugate our youth, teach them not to respect musicians, and worst of all slowly sap away musical knowledge and learning to play a real musical instrument. Thank you Knight for speaking up for those of us who feel this way but haven't had the courage to speak. I am in awe of your greatness. I will PIMP your blog any time, Thank you - Doc

Dancing with the Stars--Week 5

Tonight was "Latin night" on the dancefloor. The couples were either doing the Samba or the Rumba. Both are fun to watch. It was also "open shirt" night which is my favorite night of the season. This week I actually missed almost all of the dances due to a meeting. However, my wonderful hubby took great notes for me so here is the rundown according to him. He missed Mario so someone should chime in with their thoughts on that one.

Priscilla Presley has fallen from grace. I almost feel like singing "Ding Dong the witch is dead" but that would be ugly. She did get the lowest scores from the judges and the little snipet that I saw in the recap was boring.

Ooo, how I wish I had seen Marissa's samba. I love the samba with its energy and shaking. I especially wish I had seen more of Tony's chest. I likey-likey! Marissa was wearing my favorite color and did a great job with the routine. She is climbing the chart and left the night with the 3rd highest score.

The judges felt that Cristian's rumba was not erotic enough. He has turned out to be a big disappointment for me. He doesn't have much of that Latino sexiness I was hoping for. It's a little more like village idiot. I don't think he'll be around much longer.

Poor Marlee, I think her time may have come. She was very off on her rhythm most of the routine. I can imagine the Samba must be very hard for a deaf person because so much of it is based on beat and feeling the music. She did give it all her heart though.

Once again, Kristi proved she is a force to be reckoned with. She took what the judges said about only having one side and turned it upside-down! Starting out all prim & proper and turning into a loose & wild woman was facinating to watch. She also captured the only 10s of the night.

Shannon has really had a rough go of it these past 2 weeks. First Derek hurts his neck, then he has food poisoning. Can't a guy get a break? I think they did well taking all the into consideration. However, I was surprised to see that Shannon had trouble getting her hips to move.

Ahhhhh...Jason & Edyta. Their dance was like foreplay. In fact, was it just me or did anyone else think it looked like Jason had a boner throughout the dance? Of course, who could blame him with a partner like that? Those moves were smooth as silk. I could watch them all night.

Once again, thank you to hubby for helping out tonight. My picks for elimination this week are Priscilla or Marlee. Hard to decide which one without having actually watched their dances. Tune in tonight at 9pm EST to find out for sure.

Happy Birthday Mt. Cat and Weekly Poll 4/7

First of all I want to wish my good buddy the Mt. Cat Happy Birthday. I hope you enjoy it buddy. Its' too bad I couldn't make your party the other night. All the best for another year. (Man we are creeping up on 40, can you believe that?)

Second, this weeks theme for a poll comes to us from the birthday boy himself who wants to know what kind of liquor you like to drink. Since most of us were wrong last week in voting for North Carolina to win the Final Four I guess this week we must be drowning our sorrows.

Please vote for your favorite hard liquor, and of course poll ends Sunday night. Also feel free to discuss and and wish Ole Mt. Cat a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
