Big birthday bash tonight for Supergirl. She invited a few school friends and some neighbors over and somehow over 50 people are coming. So much for trying to make it easier by not doing a kid party this year. Oh well. It will be fun. One of her presents was this:
She is going to freak out when she sees it even though she completely designed it. It’s even better than I could have imagined. We got it from the best cake shop in town. She brought in a plate from Oriental Trading Company and told them exactly what she wanted. She asked for white and chocolate cake with a Bavarian creme filling. When they asked what she wanted it to say she said, “Happy Birthday Supergirl!” (She didn’t want her real name on it) That’s my girl. She knows what she wants when she wants it. Huh. I wonder where she gets all that sass? So far this morning I’ve already made pinto beans in the crockpot, worked out, gotten the cake, been to Costco and picked up the Enchiladas. I still need to ship a few packages and hit Trader Joe’s to pick up a few final things. I might actually have my shit together and I still have about 5.5 hours until people arrive. I think more caffeine is in order first. I like being completely ready and organized before everyone gets to my house or I’m too stressed out to have fun. I also want to say Happy Birthday to my mom. She would have been 59 today. I keep forgetting that my birthday is next week too. I also thought I was already 37 but won’t be 37 until Thursday. What happens to us when we get so old we forget exactly how old we are!? I think I’ve been telling people for the past year I was 37 and I was 36. I’m such a moron.
I’m out. I hope you all have a great weekend!

Good luck with the party! I bet it feels like you missed 36, huh? Honestly, I did that when I was 26 - I thought I was 27 all year…then I actually turned 27 and realized I missed 26! It must be those 6’s…
You’re exactly 20 years younger than I. The cake is priceless! SG is going to LOVE it. You can’t think about your own birthday as you’re running 90 miles an hour for her…next week will be ALL yours!;-)
Courage! Have fun - the cake is beautiful!!!
omg, I *LOVE* the cake!
You’ve done more this morning than I did all week.
Make sure you sit down for a little while tonight and enjoy a slice of cake with SG.
I just love the Super(man)girl logo and ABC! YUM!
Have fun! :o)
I know exactly what you mean about forgetting how old you are, i do it all the time!
I’ll say, “I’m 37.” and Deb will look at me with *that* look and say, “I’M 37! You’re 38!”
LOL!! Good thing she knows or i’d be so lost. Heh! Only 38 for a bit longer anyway.
~Suz~
The cake is so cool. Good luck with the party. Hope you get a chance to relax a little this weekend. And just in case I forget, Happy Birthday To You!
The cake is awesome! Sounds like it’s going to be a fabulous party.
Haha, my Mom is always forgetting her age too. It cracks me up! And ABC Cake Shop? YUM! My Mom has been buying our birthday cakes there since we were little kids. They’re pretty much the requirement for a successful birthday celebration IMO. Hope the party goes well, it sounds like it’ll be a blast!
What a girl! The cake is beautiful. I’m the same way about my age, it’s like I’m a horse, I turn the year over January 1, even though my birthday isn’t until February. Sounds like you will all have a lot of fun! Enjoy.
VERY.COOL.CAKE!!!
I have been doing that same thing — I’ve been saying I’m 48 for most of the past year. I’m not 48 until July of THIS year. I guess it has become irrelevant.
Happy “it would have been your Mom’s birthday.” I know how much you are missing her.
Happy Birthday Mom…and that is one kick ass cake.
That is one kick ass cake! Have someone poised to take a shot of her first look at it, ok? Happy birthdays all around!
That is a super cool cake, perfect for a supergirl!
WOW! Can you be my mom? LOL! What a cool cake!!! Happy Birthday Supergirl and to your mama.
At least you are in “practice” for being 37!
awesome cake - but 50 people! yipes!
I age myself too. I think for a while I said I was 35 and i’m only 33. duh. If I’m going to age myself I should just say I’m 50 and then at least people would tell me I look young for my age.
Happy birthday to you and your girly! That cake is awesome!
Sounds like you have an awesome weekend ahead of you!!
Happy Birthday to you and Supergirl…glad to share a birthday month with such great people!
LOVE the cake - Have a great weekend!!!!
My husband does the same thing….he always thinks he is older than he actually is. It may have something to do with being born in a year ending with a zero…..when the year changes, you just think you are a year older! Oh well….Happy early birthday!!!! And Happy Birthday to Supergirl! That is the way to do it……party all week long!
Have a SUPER weekend!
I had to laugh! I Have been telling people I was 48 and I had to renew my
licence this year and almost died. It doesn;t get any better. The cake is
awesome!
Love the cake!My mom has been telling people for the last 3 years that I am 40!I am 38 by the way…
Holy cow! That’s some great eye candy! I’m letting Supergirl pick my birthday cake! Have a fun party!
The cake looks awesome!
The cake is fab. I, too, am constantly forgetting how old I am. Is that a sign of old age or of denial?
Awesome Cake! Let them eat cake! I am sure you will all have a blast tonight!
Oh and I can relate the forgetting your age thing. When I was 25 or 27 I had a
meltdown one day when I couldn’t figure out how old I was and how old I was getting.
I must have been in denial or something.
50 people?!?! I hope you’re having a margarita right now.
Gorgeous cake!!
Now THAT’S a cake! Hope you have a ball!
sweet cake! happy birthday, supergirl
What a cool cake!! I just made a knitting bag with Supergirl material!! SO FUN! You can see it on my blog.
I want a piece of cake.
Man that looks goooooood.
Oh I am so drooling over that cake! Hope you all had a great time!
Happy Early Birthday to you!
That cake rocks! Happy birthday again to her, and also to you! I think being 37 for a year and then being 37 again is really a treat. =D
36-38 are odd ages. Like you, it was the first time in my life when I couldn’t remember how old I was. It was even a little scary. I mean, I thought, “You must truly be getting old if you can’t recall your own age. Oh my, it must be all downhill from here.” At 42, nearly 43, I can testify that 39’s where the forgetting factor fails. 39 is a milestone age for most people, so suddenly it gets easy to remember, and all is again well with the world. It’s strange, this weird agelessness that appears for a short while after 35. I say, enjoy this strange gift of the universe, and whenever someone asks your age during this period, tell them whatever age you feel at that moment.
Today is my mom’s birthday too! The cake is perfect and I hope you all have a wonderful time. I’ll bet your mom will be there leaning over SG’s
shoulder helping her blow out all of those candles, even if nobody sees her. I’ll turn 40 this summer. I’m really bummed. I could care less about the
wrinkles, etc., it’s just that statistically my life is more than half over and there is so much left to do that I feel pressed for time!
What an AWESOMETACULAR cake!
Oh my goodness, you’re birthday’s the day after mine!!! Happy birthday, in advance. I’ve already started trying to forget my age. Glad to know it’ll work eventually!!
That is one awesome cake.
The cake is amazing! Your local bakery outdid itself. Best of luck with the celebration, and Happy Birthday Supergirl!
SG has refined taste for such a young’un! Great choice of cake. Enjoy the party!
the cake looks fantastic.. nothing better then a girl knowing exactly what she wants! good for her! hope the party was spectacular! the menu sounded D-lish!
Happy Birthweek to you and Supergirl. My daughter and niece have a birthday on Tuesday and mine is on Wednesday. It’s a good weeke , isn’t it?
Ha! Too funny! Hope you all had a great time….That cake looks divine!
Ohhh I want that cake. It’s full of things the diet I’ve been put on doesn’t allow. (Said diet had better work, that’s all I can say.) Happy birthday Mom and Supergirl and Scout, and happy spring!
*sings way off key* and *dances around with a shimmy shake*
Happppyyyy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Supppppergirl! Happy Birthday to you!
Happy birthday to your Mom too… wherever your beliefs have her watching from… I am sure she is looking at the big pink cake and LHAO
Peace be with you.
Holly
P.S. I have done the same thing all year… 36/37, oh who cares, the gray is coming in fast these days!
We are old and but not yet 40!
You are MUCH older than me though. I won’t turn 37 until June!
Hey, happy birthday, you! Who knew our birthdays were only 361 days apart? As the older (and wiser?) of us, I can tell you that 37 is a good year. Or at least the first 361 days of it are. Hope it’s a grand day.
HAHAHA! Yeah you told me you were 37 back in October. That’s so funny. What are you going to do with that extra year you just got back?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
That cake is THE BEST!! I hope Supergirl had a great birthday!!
