Twenty-three years ago, the doctor couldn’t find my heartbeat. The room went into panic mode, so out came the forceps and, eventually, me—steady heartbeat intact. Since my dramatic entrance into the world, I’ve managed pretty well, and today I’ll be celebrating like a T-rex on a trampoline: skinny arms, big head, and all smiles. (Don’t tell me that’s not a T-rex, because I don’t care. Also, it’s my birthday, not yours.)
Today I’ll be readying myself for the food that lies ahead this evening. In celebration, John and I are making four kinds of homemade pizzas. And by John and I, I mostly mean John, to whom I thoughtfully suggested preparing a day ahead. He appreciated the advice. We’ll probably end up going out Friday night, and I’m hoping that after almost four years of togetherness, I’ll finally get to flex my mad bowling skills. And by that I mean my bowling skills that go from weak to impressive after one beer, then back to embarrassing after two.
Since no one has actually asked me what I want for my birthday this year, I’m assuming I’ll FINALLY be getting that pony. I promise I’ll act surprised.
Happy birthday <3
Happy birthday!! I LOVE home-made pizza- that’s what I did for my 24th birthday. And for my 25th I went bowling! Haha, we clearly know the best ways to celebrate

Heck yeah! The pizzas were, in short, glorious.
And thank you!!
You made me laugh out loud more than once! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Have a wonderful day and enjoy the new pony!

Happy birthday!! Also, if that’s not a completely accurate description of a T-rex, then I don’t know what is.
Happy birthday!
I fully support celebrating like a T-rex – especially like this one.
Haha NICE. I like it.
Happy birthday, Cassie. I’m so glad your heart beat was steady. Now go all out with your T-rex, your trampoline and your pizza. You deserve it, doll.
Happy birthday, baby! Also, I would like to hear more about these four pizzas of the apocolypse.
“from weak to impressive after one beer, then back to embarrassing after two” also sums up my beer pong skills
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY lovely lady!!
