The husband's bday is tomorrow!!

[Wait Wut]

He'll be old. At least 7 years older than me.

Besides being old, he's getting a new iPod from his loving, beautiful and way friggin' smart wifey. (No Apple bashing in my thread!!! None! Do you HEAR me???) I'm a little concerned because, well...he's gonna be old tomorrow and he's got these fat piano player fingers and his eyes don't work so well. It's going to be like watching a gorilla thread a needle.

His super awesome wife is also making him a cherry-chocolate cake. The very same cake that her much older, aging hippy sister used to make for her every year until she moved to Arizona. (I miss my hippy sister...so, so much)

After we have iPod and cake, his delightful and charming wife will be taking him to a steak dinner at the newish steak place in town. Afterwards, we'll be headed to one of the few fine drunking establishments to hear a good friend play. I'm sure the husband will hop on stage to sing a few. He's already been asked to bring the keys, but he's going to be old tomorrow and can't get them up the stairs. On our way to where we're going, we'll pass by The Bird Cage and pay our respects (it may rise from the ashes!!!).

I love other people's birthdays. I'm so friggin' excited I can't stand it!

2. Make him a "sponge cake".....

...Get two big car-wash sponges; stack 'em together with a layer of icing between 'em, then cover the whole thing with more icing, and decorate it. Put candles on it, just like a normal cake. Then have him carve it. It'll be freakin' hilarious! So post the video for us!

Welcome the OLD boy to Geezerhood for us!!

4. I once took an ice cream B-cake out of the freezer & put it in the fridge to thaw.

At the time of the party, I took the cake out of the fridge, set it on the table and took off the cover. Everybody was signing "Happy Birthday" really fast and laughing we scrambled for rags and towels to catch the cake that was flowing across the table.

I don't know what the heck I was thinking that day.

6. Ice cream soup is my favorite!

I always leave it out until it gets runny. It's even better if it's one of the chunky ice creams with chocolate chips, cherries or some other awesome chunkiness. The husband thinks I'm crazy. I just tell him he's too impatient to wait until his ice cream reaches that perfect point between melted and shake-like.

9. I hate hard ice cream...

I always take the spoon and beat it into soft-serve. It drives my mom nuts because everybody else is done and I'm still whipping my ice cream with a soup-spoon.

5. I can be pretty evil at times.

But, that's just damned cruel.

8. Wrap yourself in a ribbon - just a ribbon - and he'll be in his birthday suit in no time.
