So!  After yesterday’s word vomit fest, I thought I’d get you caught up on what’s happening in my life.

First, there was THE WEEKEND. The Annual Eat and Sleep Weekend. It was glorious. But you know that.

We visited an arboretum. There was a stone thing. It was like someone knocked down Stonehenge. It was a sundial, and a pretty nifty one:

Stonehenge. Sort of.

How lucky are we to be driving around doing nothing and find a JEEP OFF ROAD EVENT?  And they had dozens of awesome jeeps. I miss my jeep. You can read about that here. In the meanwhile, COME TO MOMMA:

I love you and I just met you.

We drove to Pittsburgh for the day from State College. Just because. It’s pretty there:

Such a nice little town. If you squint you can see the bajillion people going to the football game.

Then, we came home on The Guy I Live With’s Birthday. And he bought me a car. For his birthday:

He bought me a pretty thing for my birthday. It's like driving the space shuttle. So many buttons, so little time (and I totally killed the battery playing with the buttons before we even finished signing the paperwork and they had to jump my battery. AWKWARD).

The Guy I Live With totally didn’t want to have a party or anything so I had to cancel what little I had planned and pretend he TOTALLY WASN’T TURNING FORTY and TELL NO ONE. And…dammit. Screw it. We had pie. And since I had the wrong number candles, it looked like this:

60-20 is forty, for those of you not good at math. Shaddup, I didn't have a FOUR candle.

And I managed to get a picture of 3/4ths of DG’s family. For the fourtieth birthday that totally wasn’t happening:

Best picture I've gotten in a few years. No really.

Not a bad couple of days, huh?
