It’s my birthday week!

Howdy.  We are packing up the house and getting ready to move to the Seattle area in August.  It’s sad to leave our home here in Portland behind but it’s exciting at the same time.  Cami is working on some business plans with her sister that looks pretty dynamite, and I can hardly wait to share the details here when they begin to materialize. 

I was reading Jessica Claire’s blog today, and discovered that her and I share the same birthday week, anyways.  Does anyone know what day her birthday is?  Mine is the 24th.  Wouldn’t it be cool if my birthday was the same as Jessica Claire’s?    

Having a birthday in the summer is the best!  I remember going to Water Works Park with all my friends in the middle of summer in Redding (NorCal where it is typically 107 degrees but we didn’t care) and made a day trip out of it.   I miss those days.

Here’s what I looked like last summer on my birthday.  The saying on this shirt pretty much sums up the way I feel this week.  I hope to take it as easy as I can.

Here’s what’s on my birthday wish-list.  You can help me out by leaving comments for my wife to read and tell her how badly I need these things.  Because she will probably read it once and laugh out loud.  Joke, hahahaa, funny funny.  Why is it so funny?

  1. Suunto T6c Heart Rate Monitor and Fitness Trainer Watch (Black)
  2. DLO Action Jacket Armband Case for Zune 30 GB (Black)
  3. Fossil jeans (dark denim)
  4. Totally Rad Actions 2, The Revenge
  5. Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L
  6. A date with Jessica Claire and Becker (in Seattle this fall)
  7. Greg Gorman workshop in Mendocino
  8. The Fine Digital Print I & II Workshop with John Paul Caponigro
  9. BMW Z4 2006 Black (even though I’d have to pay for it, hey worth asking anyways)
  10. Weekend retreat on the coast

Be thankful you’re not married to me!

    Is “her/she” me?  Haha!! 

    You’re getting dinner at Taco Del Mar with me and baby for your birthday….lucky guy.  I might also buy you a $5.99 bottle of wine to wash it down with afterward. 

    I guess I might as well throw a mini on this post for good measure, because what the heck, do people actually care when they get minis?  I don’t really get it.
