Crappy Portraits… I think not!

You Know you’re getting old when:

You light the candles on your birthday cake and a group of campers form a circle and start singing Kumbaya

Haha, my dad’s 60th birthday is on Sunday.  My mom is throwing him a surprise birthday party today at work (don’t tell!) — my luck this’ll be the day he reads my blog!  This is one of the quotes off the invitation 🙂

I might just have to make my dad some apple dentures…. what do ya think?  Truthfully they’re fast and why not?  right?

So a while back I was reading the blog Story of My Life when she had this post about Free Crappy Portraits.  I was like huh?  You paid money for a crappy portrait??  But no…. quite the contrary!  You send them a photo, a little blurb about yourself and they send you back actually a pretty cool portrait 🙂

So since my dad’s birthday was coming up, I knew he needed a Free Crappy Portrait too.  I sent them a photo of my dad on a horse.  And this is what I got back 🙂

hahahahaha!  Isn’t it cute?  I think I mentioned something about burning feed sacks or being a pyro or something which is what we often tease my dad about.  But I love it.  Now my mom was like, that looks like something I would draw, but me, heck I couldn’t draw that well 🙂 {truth be told… neither can she… I got her drawing abilities!}

Now I want one of hubs, {step}daughter, pups and me 🙂

Happy Thursday!

  • Happy Birthday

    Today is my 33rd birthday. I’m struggling with that number. While I’m happy that I am on this side of the ground, I’ve always heard that your 30’s are better than your 20’s. I mentioned that to my dad yesterday morning and he said it’s all in perspective. Perspective… Okay. Well if it is about…

  • Happy 9th Birthday Tbug!

    So today is Tbug’s birthday.  9 years OLD as we keep telling her, stressing the Old part.  This is the first year since she’s been in my life that we’ve actually had her on her birthday.  Usually we have to celebrate it early or late. Now that being said, we actually celebrated with lunch and…

    She Surprises Me Yet

    My friend’s son was born on my birthday 8 years ago Monday. As you found out yesterday we had his birthday party at our house last Sunday. Well I had told my parents/husband I didn’t need anything for my birthday.  I knew it wouldn’t happen, but it was worth a shot.  I really didn’t. Well…

  • Love to Last a Lifetime

    I found a paper that I wrote fall of my senior year of college and I thought I’d share it with you.  The topic was “What makes Love last?”  We had to interview people who had been married for more than 30 years. Love means different things to people nowadays than it did to people…

    Dear Grandma

    Dear Grandma, Today would have been your birthday.  I know I use past tense, truthfully I wish I was using the present tense.  I miss you.  More than you’ll ever know, I miss you.  If you were still here you’d have the pleasure of meeting your grandson-in-law and your great {step}granddaughter.  Unfortunately I guess I…
