The Mock Dock

…my birthday this year is going to last for the entire month of June, beginning now.

I loooooove when birthdays get dragged out for days and days. And you may recall that today is the official start of my 40th birthday celebrating, even though I do not in fact TURN 40 until the 25th.

And it’s already been a great day so far! Mr. Mock took Mini-Mock to go look at hot rods, and so for the whole morning, I’ve been lounging in the sun, and finishing up a book, and hanging out with Junior Mock, who has not whined ONCE all morning long. I think the cortisone shot really helped him, and I think he’s finally turned a corner from the trauma of back surgery and is starting to act like his old normal self again.

Yesterday, I arrived home from work to find that the house was totally spotless, thanks to Mr. Mock. Normally Saturday mornings are when we clean, but since he already did it all on his day off, I’ve had absolutely NO responsibility for anything today. LOVE.

Tonight, we’re heading to our fancy dinner, at which time the big vacation destination reveal will occur (I hope!) and then we’re going to go see The Hangover. Both the boys are staying with Grandma and Grandpa Mock tonight, which means that Mr. Mock and I will get to sleep in a bit, and then we’re taking Mr. Mock’s happy car to the Coach outlet store to BROWSE, and then we’re heading to Daisy’s house to visit her and her giraffes dogs.

I am starting think that this whole turning 40 business isn’t so bad after all.

Have I mentioned to you all how much Tori Spelling’s boobs freak me out? 

So, this Saturday night, Mr. Mock and I are going out to celebrate my birthday (even though my Actual Birthday isn’t for a couple weeks yet).  Mr. Mock, without fail, is always gone on my Actual Birthday for work, and this year is no exception.  Even though I am turning 40.  Clearly, his employer doesn’t have a full grasp of how totally crazy I have the potential of becoming on my Actual Birthday, otherwise they might’ve reconsidered his scheduling.  Anyway.

We’re going out for a fancy dinner and then to see the movie Hangover, which Daisy and Mr. Daisy already saw and which I have been DYING to see.  Sunday morning, we’re headed to the Coach outlet store just to browse (insert all sorts of winking here).  But the most important part of the birthday celebrating this weekend will be the part where I get to find out what fantastic spot Mr. Mock has chosen for my birthday vacation in early December.  He has been keeping this secret for months now, and Saturday night I get to find out!!!  I can hardly stand it.

What does this picture of Tori Spelling have to do with my birthday?  Nothing, except that she’s wearing a bathing suit presumably somewhere on vacation, which is what I intend to do in December at a yet-undisclosed location, only my boobs will look normal.
