That's it... I'm getting old(er)

So I feel older than usual. I guess that's to be expected... Though it'd help if people stopped saying things like:

"Hey at least you're not thirty, cuz then it'd be like- what, you're, almost 40?"
"So you're 3/4 of the way to 40 eh?"
"Daddy, you're old."

I jest of course, I know I'm in for much worse next year. And I can't even begin to imagine the teasing I'll receive at 40... not sure how dad did it. Haha. Anyways, I'm rambling and need coffee.

...There that's better. So yeah, we celebrated my birthday on Saturday with my family. I may be gutting myself here, but I'm going to share what happened. A few months ago I made the mistake of making a Miley Cyrus Pandora station. Well, I made another mistake and listened to it while Ash was upstairs. Needless to say, she was beside herself. What is a 25(ish) year old doing listening to a teenage heartthrob? Well, mostly putting thumbs down on all the other crap the station throws at me.

...I like the music- hush up.

So yeah, she took the opportunity to throw me a "Miley Cyrus" birthday. I walked in and found Hannah Montana plates and stylish pink Hannah Montana napkins. Turn the corner and see a big ass pink and blue Miley Cyrus birthday cake, complete with a little cute pink guitar and Miley billboard.

Oh yeah.

Apparently she and the person she ordered the cake from had a good little chuckle at my expense. She asked Ash if the cake was for a boy or girl, and she said boy. She then picked out the Miley design and the person was like: "Are you sure? I thought you said its for a boy?"

At which point she confirmed it was. She then asked what my age was, and it was all over. I'm really happy that I, on my own birthday, can give the gift of laughter to so many others. Hehe. Anyways, it was even worse than I expected, I thought it was over with the cake. I should've known! When they handed out gifts I received two musical cards and a Miley Cyrus board game.

Oooh right!

I have to thank them though, it would have been 10x worse had we been in a restaurant. Its hard enough bearing my soul on the internet where billions of people can read about my trying day, but to be sitting in a room with 40 strangers looking over at me would have been utter despair. About the only good thing that came of it was a Miley CD.

And I've already listened to it. haha.

Oh I hope you've all enjoyed my humbling moment. Back to trying to recapture my masculinity.
