When feeling like Richard Gere isn't as sexy as it sounds

Yesterday was a great Birthday! I have hit a huge milestone; lower car insurance rates, the ability to rent cars without using my expired military ID, and according to an old copy of Men's Health, 25 is the most healthy year of a man's life (I intend to disprove that). Now that I am officially old, and on my way to becoming a geriatric (gray hairs to prove it), I have learned two huge things that can only come from this old age. First, the papers I produce when I drink 4 cups of coffee and consume 2 Red Bulls are far from intelligible (HT: Editorial Team of Dolly and Erin). However, that won't stop me from my Red Bull binging. Second, just because a cupcake has a cool design doesn't mean that it has more frosting (HT: wifey).

Overall the Birthday was/is awesome. I have married into a tradition that maintains a strict 3-day birthday rule (which usually evolves into a couple of weeks for some people). The first day was an awesome day with one of the greatest (and my favorite) recipes in the entire world, a beef enchilada dip (HT: Teresa. I will ask permission to post her awesome recipe on here...). Yesterday, we went out for appetizers and drinks, I won't mention the restaurant but it was featured in "Talledega Nights" and rhymes with -pplebee's (it's cheesy but I love the happy hour...). Then tonight, after community group (where Dolly brought cupcakes- hence lesson numero two) was presents. Dolly knows the key to my heart, a case of Red Bull and a DVD of the greatest action adventure film since Bicentennial Man, well it was the best this year (Death Race was a huge let-down), Iron Man. But the best present comes from the Browns, who gave birth to their new daughter on my birthday. Great "planning" guys, I am honored!! So here is a pic of the spoils of the B-day, and time to go look into getting a AARP card....and watch Iron Man with my lovely wife.
