Am I 50 yet?

How is it that in a 4-day span I can be asked if I'm 50 yet and then be carded for the first time for buying wine at a store I frequent often?



Oh, BTW, it was my hairdresser who asked me the offended question!!! And, I'm in love with the young man who carded me!!!

Birthday Blooper

Mr. O and I are very fortunate to be friends with professional bakers. Over the past few years, they have made many birthday and holiday cakes for my family.

Last year for Easter they made us this cake...


For the twinkers birthdays last October, they made this cake for Tank, because he was into Batman then...

and for Banana, they made this...

...and, because, they didn't want KK to feel left out, they made a mini-cake for her...

Our friends our so meticulous in making, delivering and serving their cakes to us, so nothing EVER goes wrong...

Until...

They make the cakes, deliver them to us, but can't be around for the party. Casa de Chaos has to improvise for KK's 4th birthday. The buffet table withstood the appetizers, the entrees, and finally, the cakes!!!

Here's KK's princess cake...

...and Banana and Tank's cakes...



KK blew out the candles...

THEN the table COLLAPSED!!!


Thank goodness, CoCo was able to catch Banana's cake. Can you believe that all 3 cakes remained intact?

They were delicious!!!

My baby is 4!!!

On this day 4 years ago, KK was born. She was "Andre the Giant" of the NICU.



Here she is at age 1.


Age 2...


Age 3...

Happy Birthday, Baby Girl! I hope you laugh even more than you did the past year. I love you, darling!!!
