Happy Birthday Season!
Nothing like seafood & a political debate to really celebrate your 28th birthday in style.
I convinced the Republican & Democrat clubs at my school to let me crash their student Presidential debate. I convinced another Nader fan at USD to participate with me, and we were allowed to answer 2/4 questions (ie, I only got to answer one of the questions). I’m not sure how many swing voters there were in the audience, but it was fun. And I got to wear my “Don’t hate the playa, hate the game” Nader t-shirt that Neil & I made. Worth it.
Neil and I went out to breakfast at a seedy diner to celebrate in the a.m., since I had class until 9:30p.m. the night of. Turns out it is the most popular place in San Diego, based on the crowd. I had a spinach fritatta, unusual fare for a highway-side diner, but delicious indeed.
When I got home from class I was so hungry that Neil took me out for a Birthday Burrito instead of the celebratory ice cream we had planned. It was also quite delicious.
My family came to visit me the week before my birthday & somehow we ended up at a seafood joint down by the San Diego marina. Luckily we started the birthday season out early & they brought me some complimentary birthday dessert.
What could possibly say “Happy Birthday” more than husband & wife matching fleece vests from the 2002 Olympics. Thanks dad! You are one-of-a-kind.
Neil fetched me out some seaweed from Coronado beach for my birthday.
But, luckily he also surprised me with this fantastic cloche.
And, just for a jog down memory lane… for my 27th birthday I made everyone rent costumes & go to a mansion in Salt Lake for a Murder Mystery party. Anyone who says I’m not a good time doesn’t know how to have a good time.
Happy Birthday Season everyone!
anyone who says you don’t know how to have a good time DOESN’T HAVE A BRAIN. Happy hap hap, kate. I hope twenty eight is great!
Nothing like a good Birthday season I say. I like that hat! I’m glad they let you crash the debate! I’ll have to listen to it later..Dad doesn’t have sound on his computer. Craziness. And that murder mystery party…man, that was definitely good times.
WOOT!
but wait, why is there a clearly wrong-centuried flapper ruining the zeitgeist in the picture?
some people just can’t resist a feather headband.
Your birthday season is right up there with Christmas – and that’s saying a lot coming from a person who had her house decorated for Christmas the first week in October!
Happy Birthday Kate! The hat looks beautiful on you (I love that sassy haircut by the way). And your last line of the debate..WOWZA was that a zinger
Great job, you are a brave girl, I couldn’t have done anything like that! Way to be passionate about your candidate!
