New B-Day

The wonderful, beautiful Mackenzie Kyle took me out for a "I'm sorry you missed your birthday" birthday night.  We went to "Tiki No" on Lankershim... God that place is weird.   I said really, really low under my breath the bar smelled like disinfected poop.  And the Welsh/Irish/Scottish/French bartender came over and brought us whiskey shots with a side of pickle juice.  How did he hear that?!  He also heard it was my birthday.  So amazing!  AND it was amazing because I had that bizarre combo one recently for the first time (Christmas night at the W!) (also super super weird) and have been raving about it since.  Haven't had it, because it sounds so gross to order.  But I can't believe he brought me that!  Kismet.

And there was a bizarre food truck outside run by one, old hippy.  (Remember that title, "One, Old Hippy")  He said things like, "Okay.  I can make guacamole... I think..." He disappears, comes back. "I found an avocado!  Yes!  You can have guacamole on it!"  

 We got an insane amount of food from el old hippy: A cheeseburger with bacon and mac n' cheese on it, nachos, shrimp tacos, garlic fries, dark n stormies....  Such a good non-birthday.

St. Patrick's Day

Bekah loves to fucking grid.  I wasn't on board until I saw THIS grid.  It's a good grid.

That's a tiny hat we found on the floor. 

Those are cheap Guinness(es?).  Which Bekah says are "good for pregnant women."  I'm not sure about that. 

And that is the bar we were at.  It was weird because it was super crowded with the WEIRDEST people in the world.  Maybe that's just what the valley harbors?  I honestly am not exaggerating.  There were hundreds of people that and we were BY FAR the best looking/simply normal looking people there.  I mean like, lots of old white men in full Irish kilt outfits.  Which isn't that weird, except that they were also "leather daddy" outfits.  Half Irish, half "something that says 'daddy likes leather'."  That was just one faction of weirdos.  Lots of girls in "aggressively cut green tank tops."  And a weird old gay man following Bekah around telling her how to do her hair differently.  So weird. 

Fan Mail

Sometimes I tell people I would be happy just to write at Nick the rest of my life.  People think I'm brown-nosing, I'm sure.  But I'm serious!  Letters from adorable kids!!!!!!!!  

This Baby Needs to Stop!!!

This is the baby of my co-worker.  It's like my coffee in the morning.  "Hand me your phone so I can see all the pictures you took of your baby yesterday."  And there's always one so good I have to forward it to myself.  Then to my sister.  Then embed it on my blog.  I think I'm a stalker?  

Delaney says this one looks like Andy Richter.

Oh yeah, and there are so many weird classes that parents take their babies to these days.  Like this "tactile class."  We are going to raise such pussies... Or have we learned our lesson and WE are the real pussies and we are going to be better about not making such big pussies?  It's like the "center of the tootsie pop" question. 

Pi Day

I got too sick on my birthday to have any fun.  I missed family dinner, friend night out at the bar, and weekend at Palm Springs with all my best friends.  But the WORST part was I missed this at the Palm Springs community theatre...

Can you imagine the blog posts after this???  And the nightmares...
