You knew it was coming, right? I mean, my birthday was two days ago, which in my world means that it is still happening, which means I will continue to talk about it as long as possible. 
And since Mr. Mock’s present has not yet arrived, I’ll get to talk about it when it DOES too.
I love birthdays.
ANYWAY, yesterday Bunny and I went shopping and then headed up to Hacienda in Kokomo for my now-annual birthday feast. We were browsing through Kohl’s, and trying to avoid the smattering of Ashley Judd photos in the cosmetics section. But I couldn’t help but be momentarily annoyed remembering how she was on the Ellen Degeneres show once, and claimed that her Kohl’s photo advertisements were void of any retouching/airbrushing whatsoever. She Actually Claimed this. Let’s review.
Here’s a Kohl’s photo ad:
And here’s Actual Reality:
I don’t think that’s just a difference in make-up, you guys. But that’s just me.
Anyway, during our browsing, we came across the lingerie section, when the BIGGEST UNDERWEAR WE HAVE EVER SEEN EVER caught our eye. Along with the biggest bra. Here is what those items look like compared to Bunny:
The crotch is at her KNEES, you guys. Now, you would think that seeing those might have encouraged us to have a bit less of an appetite at Hacienda, but you’d be wrong. We ate ourselves silly. And I got a birthday sombrero along with my hot chocolate chip cookie with three ice cream scoops and chocolate drizzle dessert:
Have I ever told you guys how much I love Hacienda?
Earlier in the day, I had to take Mini-Mock to get fitted for a tuxedo to wear for J’s wedding next weekend (as you may recall J is Junior-Mock’s caregiver). Both of the boys are going to be in the wedding! And while Mini-Mock wasn’t altogether pleased about getting measured (particularly in the shoes – holy crap I don’t know how you boys wear those horrid things), he looked positively EDIBLE:
The lady at the tux shop told me that the cost of rental for the two tuxes was going to be TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY DOLLARS. Can you even believe that? I love that both of my boys get to be in the wedding, but I’m officially hoping that they’re not going to be in any more of them in the future. I even asked the woman what the difference would be to just BUY the tuxes, and it was over double that amount. They charge $75 for the plain white dress shirt alone. ROBBERY.
Anyway, it’s worth it just to see how completely PRECIOUS they’re going to look. I will take lots of pictures.
The birthday continues today at my parents’ house, where I will have my favorite mom-prepared meal, and additional fuss.
Why was Ashley Judd in an ad to begin with? You’d think someone with actual beauty would do that, prime examples being Scarlett Johanson and Charlize Theron.
Thanks for the Sunday morning giggles, Mock. And for the pic of Mini….he’s totally yummy. Ashley Judd is such a sad head-case, kind of like Obama. Narcissistic and pathetic……and really scary.
OK, lets review the photos.
Fake Ashley looks good
Real Ashley not so good
Bunny, just too damn sexy. (I think you found a Halloween costume)
Mock, cute and the sombrero will come in handy to keep your chest from getting sunburned.
and Mini looking like a little lady killer.
BB said it all! Have another great day!
I found out at prom that the only time it’s viable to buy a tux instead of renting it is if you have like three tux occasions all at once. I knew a guy going to three proms; three weddings would also be acceptable.
Hansome young man! He’s going to have em lining up around the block.
Try to find out if the tux rental place gave the groom a choice of one free rental for someone in the party. The one Hatchetman and I used did that, and we gave it to the little boy in the party. We figured it would be tremendously expensive. Maybe you can get at least one tux rental for free.
Having said that, did you squeal when you saw those tiny little jackets on hangers? I did. SO adorable. And even more so when Mini-Mock is inside it!
