"It's your birthday..."



Hey folks - had a blast at my Birthday gathering on Sunday!



So much fun in fact, that I didn't even take notes, and will have to (gasp!) rely on my memory - which may have been a little bit fuzzy...



...i wonder why...



Anyway, so great to have 'the gang', and some of my other friends there, to help me celebrate!

Aaron; Michelle; Rebecca; Chuck


Selene


Bran-DOHN; Your Blogstress


Mrs. D's parents; Mrs. D.; The Reverend


Paulie; Sean; Tamar


'Zach attack'...

Like I said, no notes... but I do recall Ryan starting with "Low" (I think), then bringin' me up for my first song, which was "Hell is For Children"; then Michelle came up and rocked the house,


as did John D. with "Zombie"... ("Zombie, Zombie")



Rockin' Robin was in the house!


as was Jennifer, who sang some Sheryl Crow...

and KC was in the house...


and Corey Lim ROCKED the house!


Stephanie rocked out Katy Perry...


...and her hubby John rocked out with some Elton John...


The crowd goes wild!


The Reverend Colin rocked the house as always!


Dylan sang "American Girl"...


Marky Mark sang "Oh Boy", while Corey Lim & I were "The Funky Bunch"...


'Oscar-ino' in the house...


...and I got to rock out to "In The End"!

And then it was time to open some presents!







Thanks so much everyone!!



And then came the moment we had all been waiting for:


'The Blogstress' & 'Kanye East'

"IN NEW YORK
CONCRETE JUNGLES WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN'T DO

NOW YOU'RE IN NEW YORK

THESE STREETS WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BRAND NEW

BIG LIGHTS WILL INSPIRE YOU

LET'S HEAR IT FOR NEW YORK, NEW YORK, NEW YORK!!!!!"




A big thanks to the band, and to 'Kanye' for learning this - was way fun!!




Showtime Shon drank some hot water, before getting up to sing "Fantasy" with Brandon...


Natalia rocked it out w/her brand of "Fever"!

Thanks to all of you, who made my special day, well, special!! :)









Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! And hope to see you all this Sunday!

Your blogstress ;)
