Hey it's Kate's half bday!

Wooo dogs. Talk about one helluva day. I just spent the last six hours at the happiest place on earth- Disney Land. It certainly was happy. And the best part was that all of California's schools were on fall break so the park was packed full of other happy people. I'm talking Saturday in the summer packed. It's a good thing I love long lines and strollers and screaming kids because they were everywhere. Right towards the end as I was waiting in line at Minny's Bakery to buy a cookie, a little boy managed to not only cut me, but kick the back of my ankle to the point of almost bleeding, as well. It was so cute. Chris had to drag me away from the park when it was time to go because I could have stayed all day and night. We got soaked on splash mountain and escaped death with Indiana Jones and had a few drinks with Jack Sparrows- non alcoholic of course since Walt doesn't allow any such shenanigans on his property. My absolute favorite ride/show was watching Michael Jackson in Captain EO. If you don't know about this show I highly recommend you google it. It's probably the best 3D music video ever created, before 1985 I mean. It's at the height of MJ's career when he truly looked like a stunning black woman, more specifically the hotty Lisa McDowell from Coming to America. As always, time went by way too fast and I barely had more than a few minutes to shop for Disney attire. Unlike my last trip to Disney (the 10 year old Birthday trip that has scarred me for life) I was able to come with more than a few bucks in my wallet, so naturally I bought as much rock candy and Disney stamped quarters as I wanted!!! It was pretty cool. And the glitter princess hoody I bought will be perfect for the plane ride home. I didn't think the day could get any better, but then we stopped in one of the last shops to check out some various Disney memorabilia and historical pieces and in the room of iconic people hung a huge photo of Miley Cyrus. The only other two musicians featured in this room were MJ and Elvis. And then there was Miley Cyrus in all her glory. What an honor. I am just happy she is finally being recognized in the same category as these two. So now I am just relaxing for a brief moment before it's time to head to the rehearsal dinner, or as Chris calls it "the prenuptial" dinner. I told him no one calls it this anymore and we actually got into like an eight minute argument regarding which is the more popular term. Obviously I am right. A prenup isn't a dinner, it's what you sign if you plan on divorcing in like ten years, everybody knows that.

Well, I am really ashamed to say this, but somehow today in the midst of all of my selfish fun I forget a very important occasion for someone. So I know this doesn't make up for my blunder, but I would just like to wish Kate a happy half birthday. We have spent many great half birthdays together having not half, but double the fun of a normal night. Kate's life motto is "live everyday like it's your birthday." And most times I think I can honestly say she does this. Whether it's birthday drinks at noon, or intense birthday shopping sprees, or fancy birthday dresses, Kate does all at any time of the year. May we all take inspiration in this and strive to live our own lives in the same fashion. So happy half bday Kate. Make it an 828 night.
