Okay, I’ve seen Dancing Matt on a number of blogs by now, but I have to include him here- he’s too delightful to pass up.

See this card? Inside it says “See, there are things more frightening than having another birthday.” So true. This image is WAY scarier than the prospect of getting older.

This is the sort of thing I always want to give my friends and family on their birthdays, but then I worry that the card will make someone cry into their birthday cake, and so the card gets put back on the shelf.

So I’m one year older as of Friday, and my mom sent this card to commemorate it. I immediately took it to work and showed it to all my coworkers, and you know this man’s hairy buttocks totally brightened their day. There’s no denying it. My mom is a woman of taste.

It’s hard work having a mom who’s as awesome as she is! She’s funny, well-traveled, and wishes I wouldn’t dress like a yuppie. She’s Lorelai to my Rory.

But sometimes, cool moms come with perks.

This summer, I’m following her to Japan, where she’s teaching for part of the summer. I’m so excited, I wish I could fall asleep and wake up in July.

But I won’t, because who sleeps through birthday cake?

I dunno. Maybe it’s because this house looks awesome. Or maybe it’s the two slices of cake with super-dense icing I had this morning.

But there’s nothing more I want to do right now than traverse some monkey bars!

This article gives me wanderlust. When do I get to go drink Chianti in Tuscany?
