na na na na na na, you say it's your birthday

i turned 28 on the 13th and john turned 48 on the 10th and his wife has a birthday tomorrow and then there's wayne, and keith, and dave, and marc, and mike, and italian stallion, and brock, etc... there are so many birthdays this time of year that i was forced to host a small, impromptu dinner party in our honor. you'll find some pictures below from the night where i served braised lamb in my fancy new dining room on my fancy new dishes, glass and flatware. i know you'll find this hard to believe, but we drank much wine, martinis with vodka, beer, green beans, and all sorts of other liquids involving blue curacao at said party. here is the evening in pictures in order of progression from start to finish.

that's when i found my guests to be far more interesting:















i'm pretty sure this is where we started to lose control:

it's best not to ask questions.

here's a random shot of my ugly niece who was not at the party. man she's ugly:















happy birthday 2005, novemberites. hope to see ya next year.
