As you are aware, my 28th birthday is Monday. I’ve been thinking about life and all the people I should thank for helping to shape me as a human being. As it turns out, there are only about four people to thank, so why not do so in a post.
1 and 2. Patricia and Dennis. They made a mistake in their late 30s and I was the result. You’re welcome, world.
3. Alison. The friend I’ve had since I was 11 who never judges anything I do, and I don’t judge anything she does. When we were kids, while all the other 11 year old girls were doing normal things, Alison and I were in the back of my mom’s blue station wagon shouting the lyrics to Rod Stewart songs while eating chicken nuggets and not giving even a single fuck. It was weird. We’re still pretty weird.
4. Rod Stewart. He taught me that young hearts gotta run free, be free, live free and that time is on, time is on my side. He also taught me that I have a thing for older men. You’re welcome, older men.
I am going to shout the song below in the car on the way home from work today. I bestow upon thine ears, the gift of Rod Stewart (and please check out the drummer):
I also love Rod Stewart (duh) but not Maggie May. And that photo of him makes me squeamish. I like the OLD Rod Stewart, the currently OLD one.
Duh! That makes me so happy. We would be good pals.
Happy Birthday when it happens!
Rod Stewart…what a great entertainer! He has produced so many great songs over the years. He’s the gift to music that keeps giving. lol And hats off to your parents for bringing you into this crazy mixed up world of ours. And a special thanks to Alison; a good friend. “Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies.” Aristotle
Thanks, Mike. That Aristotle was on to something (or even a few things!)
Yes he was lol
happpppy beeeeeeday! and this post is filled with awesomesauce! xoxo, sm
MUAH!
La La,
I’m countdown timer is on. Be ready to hear happy birthday from all social media platforms when all clocks’ handles hit………….
Your friend,
L’Éric
Here’s hoping you perform Rod Stewart *crosses fingers*
You look like your Mum a bit then? Your parents look so young then, where has all the time gone?
And, even though I don’t have the sense of proportion, that’s exactly the sort of stuff that I imagine 11 year old girls do! So what the hell were the “normal” ones doing???
I’m a mix between the two, I think.
The cool kids were doing that too, but with boy bands and modern music. Rod Stewart isn’t exactly my generation.
Hmmm, I’ve never considered sexy and Rod Stewart in the same sentence except for that awful song where he asks if I think he’s sexy, and I say ‘no.’ But, well, to each her own…
Happy Birthday, you endearingly weird little chickadee!
Thank you!!!! Iiiif you want my body AND you think I’m sexy…
Okay, this is getting ridiculous. My very first concert EVER was Rod Stewart, and I remember being pissed I didn’t get to touch his ball. The soccer ball he had launched into the audience that is.
My initial thought was, “wait, he only has one?!” Haha. So awesome! I had a dream we made an 80s workout video. Isn’t that weird/an amazing idea?
That’s awesome! Like a mix between a Jane Fonda tape and an Olivia Newton John music video? Count. Me. IN.
My first thoughts too, only one lol
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOO. I AM YELLING. YOU CAN TELL BECAUSE CAPS.
Well, I’ll be outta pocket on Monday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! ♫ ♪ ♫ paula ♥
Aw, thanks!
Happy Birthday, jolie
Can we look forward to another drunken post on b’day?
Oooh good idea!!! I like your thinking
and thank you!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Rod Stewart is lucky to have you.
Happy birthday!
A shout-out for Vinny Appice!
He’s the drummer in that video, in case you’re wondering.
Oh my god, you’re awesome! Of course I was wondering. You deserve a prize or something!
Actually, that’s Carmine, not Vinny, Appice. My bad.
Hap pee birthday!
U R so Be-you-tee-ful ♫=♪=♫=♪
Happy Birthday, La La! Hope the celebration starts Friday after work and cruises on into Monday! Your parents were super cute! “Hot Legs!” And my husband was given a Rod Stewart wig for his birthday a few years ago. He and his awesome whiteness looked great in it!
Thank you Maddie, you’re so sweet!
Happy birthday! What makes you luckier–awesome friend, mom & dad who procreated or Rod the Bod? Have a great birthday!
Too many options! Haha…Rod the Bod.
I met Rod Stewart and Rachael Hunter once…funny thing was…Rod looked better in person. Rachael looked a little run down.
Hopefully he was wearing those green pants!
Sadly he looked like a regular dude.
Your parents look awesome in those pictures.
Thanks for finding the creepiest picture of Rod Stewart. My eyes are bleeding.
de nada
Happy Birthday, La La!! You’re one of the funniest girls I’ve ever met.
Or rather never met.
