April is gonna be a big month…and no it’s not just because Prince William and Kate are getting married!
There’s been a lot of talk floating around by certain people who simply don’t understand the big hoopla surrounding the Royal Wedding.
HelloooOo? What don’t you understand?
Let me set the record straight–these are royal people, people! They are not commoners like you and me! They wear crowns and drink tea and say things like “lovely.”
Kate is a modern day Cinderella…you know, if Cinderella’s parents were self-made millionaires–but you get the picture!
And Kate–why, yes, we are on a first-name basis–is only 2 years older than me! SO by the rules of six degrees of separation that technically means, I could have married Prince William! And I would be a princess. And you would all have to bow down and say “Your highness.” But I would be a cool princess, don’t you worry.
The point is…royal weddings are cool. And since Charles and Di got married like forever ago, this is the royal wedding of MY generation.
And I am totally planning an April 29th Wedding Party with tea and crumpets (what is a crumpet, anyway?) and everyone will have to bring their best tiara (what do you mean you only have one tiara?) and speak in their best English accent. Because we sound so much more proper that way.
Speaking of tiaras…there’s another national holiday this month.
My Birthday!
I take birthdays very seriously. I even celebrated my half-birthday one year, because one birthday celebration a year is just not enough to celebrate SO.MUCH.AWESOMENESS.
But last year– my 26th Birthday– was only 3 weeks apart from the craziness of our wedding (which also only took 3 weeks to plan). I think I was also sick on my birthday…I don’t really remember. <– proof I’m getting old
But this year, lucky number 27!, is coming back with a vengeance and I’ve got a hole whole bag of goodies wrapped up my sleeve, including a massive house party followed by a Newport Beach pub crawl (if we make it that far…).
Since our love shack is mighty too small to house the total amount of debauchery and awesomeness we plan to have–my friend, whose birthday happens to be 3 days after mine, is co-joining for a DUO April Birthday Bash. And of course, we plan to honor the decade we were born…the 80’s.
Big hair, hot pink leggings, leg warmers and scrunchies–tell me again why the 80’s went out of style?
I have a secret to tell you…shh…come closer…let me whisper it to you…
I’m really, really scared I will fall asleep by the time the party starts.
Ugh, I know, right? What am I talking about? But you all know I’m secretly a 40-something-year-old stuck in this 20-something-year-old’s body! I go to bed by 10! (Proof!)
I’m gonna do my best, guys…take a nap, drink some Red Bull, gotta take one for the team, right?
I guess I”m just not as hip as my younger 25-year-old days…

Hahaha! You are hysterical!!
So, funny coincidental story– April 29th is the day I meet Tiffany and Inris in Seattle! And, someone had mentioned this great dinner theatre with boas and tiaras but since they didn’t have any shows during times that worked for us, T and I joked about bringing boas and tiaras and making our own theatrical appearance. And, I happen to have been invited to enough theme parties to own SEVERAL boas… I told her she had to supply the tiaras (gasp! I don’t own any!).
So, I look forward to trading a few April 29th photos with you!!
And… HAPPY FRIGGIN BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
…suddenly it occurs to me that I’m not sure how Inris is going to feel about all that. Ha…. hahahaha… poor guy doesn’t know what he’s in for!
Aw, your party sounds like it’s going to be super fun 😉 Truth be told, if I was going to your party, I would probably fall asleep too (and I’m 25). lol!
That time-elapsed birthday collage is a piece of art. Good work, ma’am.
(did that make you feel old?) 😉
Happy Birthday celebration planning! Haha
I watched a little bit of Charles’s wedding with what’s-her-face six years ago because it was my wedding day, I was too excited to sleep, and it was the only thing on… Haha
And seriously – who doesn’t have more than one tiara?!
“They wear crowns and drink tea and say things like “lovely.” ”
hahahaha
I want to have a royal wedding party! What a splendid idea
You are adorable!!! I want to party with you- we can both leave early and pass out at 10pm. haha! 🙂
I am way excited for the Royal wedding! I was a newborn I think when Di and Charles got married because William is a year or two younger than me (I offered to be his Cougar, he said no. Dang it!) My friend is going to record it since it will be on way super early and we are totally doing a Royal Wedding party too! And I had 3 tiaras growing up.. who didn’t??? haha!
You youngin’…..When I turned 27….I was a few days away from graduation with my Master’s Degree. I was 7 weeks pregnant with Bossy and Sassy. We had owned our home for about 6 months. We were talking about buying a mini van.
Man, that was a long time ago!!!!
Party it up for me too….I am going to be 36 in a few weeks!! EEEK. The big 4-0 is a-comin’!
I TOTALLY wish I could come to your pub crawl!! sounds so fun!! If any flights change and I’m there, count me in and I’ll make sure you stay awake…well, unless I’m asleep (time change and all – haha). 😉
