I totally forgot to wish Erin a Happy Birthday. She had a really good one. She went to see Bløf. Here is her report of the experience:
I had a fabulous time at the Blof concert this weekend in Rotterdam! Martyn was bored stiff, but was a good sport. Afterwards, I met up with Peter, the bass player, and got to meet the band – even got invited out for drinks!
Best birthday in years!
Isn’t that AWESOME?!? She went for drinks with Bløf!
My current favorite song of theirs is “Wat zou je doen”. It’s fun because it’s a live track and the crowd sings along. It also reminds me a little of Joey from “Friends” saying “How YOU doin’?” Hehehe
Happy Belated Birthday, Erin!
And Happy Half Birthday to Beth today!
Yesterday’s Lenten Chore: Clean out all the trash floating around in the garden pond.
How wonderful to have such a “brush with greatness” on your birthday Erin !!!!!!!! (Kim, if you’re out there … lets go to NY so we can have a “brush with greatness” too … how about it?
Now Brad, Brad, Brad –was the trash in the pond really just the same green trash bag that was in your hallway yesterday … I think you oughta nip-it-in-the-bud (nip it, nip it, nip it) right now with the moving of the same bag of trash to various locations & calling it a new chore! (Really … what noive)
I am stunted as to what to say to this. The closest I’ve come to hanging out with a band on my birthday is doing the Christmas program with the preschoolers. They may not be very famous – but they can ROCK!
Happy Belated, Erin!
Not so very surprising really. Wasn’t Erin voted most likely to celebrate a birthday party by throwing back with Bl øf in college? By the way, Erin, you look older than you did 14 years ago. Hmmm, it’s been a whole 8th grader since I’ve seen you.
Erin, Lloyd has not learned ANY manners in the 14 years since you saw him last. I apologize for his stupidity, ‘cuz there’s no fixin’ it.
No need to use your stick! He’s a man, so goes without saying!
I wanted to say how nice Erin looked, but I was worried that Lauren would beat me with a stick. She has a stick. Have you seen her stick? Scary.
Um, I didn’t mean that Lauren was scary looking. I meant that, with the stick, she can instill fear into the hearts of men and preschoolers.
Not that I was saying that she needs a stick to instill fear in someone. No, not her; she can instill fear just fine without a stick.
Ouch.
A whole 8th grader… wow – that really puts time in perspective! Although at my 20th High School reunion – which is next year (MOAN!) I will be the only one with a toddler. Everyone else has kids in High School.
Scary.
It’s been even longer since I’ve seen you…I think something like 16 years, and I thought, “Wow! Erin looks exactly the way I remember!” (stupid Lloyd)
Happy Belated Birthday!
I’ll take that as a compliment! Although… same haircut and the same pair of Eddie Bauer jeans that I was wearing in college. Maybe I should update!
Same jeans. I hate you.
Ok, I deserve that! I was trying to make a comment on how un-hip and un-fashion wise I was.
I could show you some pictures of me after I had Lily – I look like a white version of one of the Klumps from the Nutty Professor!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice attempt at a cover – I remember how you are…
I was thinking the exact same thing, Beth! Erin hasn’t changed one bit. And while we’re talking about not changing, you still look the same way I remember seeing you in high school, cuz I don’t think I ever saw you when you were in college.
Funny. I have had a few different haircuts in between, but have recently just let my hair grow out again so I can be lazy and throw it in a ponytail
. But, yea, it’s about the same as it was in HS…with a bit less poof in my bangs!
