Birthdays

For my birthday Jessica got me this card:

Then I got me shock collars for Randi and Earl.  They came on Thursday and on Saturday morning I sent out invitations via Paperless Post to the Inaugural Shock o Rama.  The Shock o Rama had 100% attendance and after some bottles of wine I collared those two up and we tried the collars.  There was 100% better behavior and about 95% less humping when the vibration button was depressed.   There were brief moments when I thought I might be a bad person, but I gave that up pretty quickly.

Yesterday Romeo and I left Mantua for the baby's first birthday party.  My mom had planned a "Cars" birthday theme (based largely on the fact that Max likes the Cars themed wipey dipey box my mom keeps on the table next to his high chair.)   My mom had also made Max a special Cars shirt with his name embroidered on it that matched his checkered shoes with Cars iron-ons, a Cars bib, a Cars cake, Cars cupcakes and a bear cake just for Max because my mom doesn't do anything just a little bit.
