I love my birthday. It’s my favorite time of the year.
Why? you ask…
Simple. It’s because I get to see my friends and go to the horse races one more time.
We’ve been doing this for my birthday every year for a long time. I think close to 8 years.
Anyway, I’ll see my best friend from high school and her husband:
Jen, Brian, and Mel
Then, I’ll get to see one of my college roommates, PamPam and her husband Apple. (I introduced them, thankyouverymuch.)
Jen, Mel, and Pam (couldn’t find my picture of Apple)
Maybe I’ll be able to see my other college roommate, Lori (aka, LeLe-da-sandybooty-lyin’-ho-bitch) Sigh, can’t find a picture of LeLe either. In my defense, she hasn’t been able to come for the past few years, so I don’t have a picture of her that isn’t pretty darn old. Just envision a petite babe with reddish hair and an infectious smile…and that’s LeLe.
(Nick is single and ready to play ladies. He’s quite a catch. If you’re in the KC area and wanna meet him, let me know!)
And, my best male friend and one of my kids’ godfathers will be there. Nick, the Godfodda:

The other Godfodda and one of Mark’s best friends from elementary school will be there:
Jim is in the green checked shirt and his wife, Holley, is turning away from the camera. Nick is in the background.
Glen and his wife Misty are joining us again:

Michael J and his lovely wife Pattie are driving down from St. Louis again:
Pattie and Mike
Tracey and Paddy are also coming in from KC with Nick, but I can’t find a picture of them, either. Sniff.
And last, but definitely not least, I get to see two of my favorite people in the world. Chris and DeeDee:
Aren’t we a cute Triple? Dee2, Chris, and Mel
Yes, I get a night with my bestest friends in the world. Every year, we go to the races, then hang out in the Bier Garten of our favorite German Restaurant in Hot Springs, The Brau Haus. We act stupid and have the best time in the world.
And as great as all that is, I have to add one more thing. My husband. None of this would be the same without him. How awesome are we?
