Mimi's B-Day Blog-Shout-Out

Today is the beloved Mimizzle's birthday....I called her at 7:50 this morning while on my way to work so that I could be first in best wishing her on her birthday...and learned that my brothers both totally tried to cheat. (We have something of a rivalry over "who loves her best", which I know is stupid, since clearly I love her best. Duh.) Older brother had her over for dinner at his house Tuesday night --- 2 full days before her birthday, as I'm sure he felt that being "early" equals being "first". It does not. Younger brother called her yesterday to forewarn her that he'd only put her card in the mail that very day, and although it was going to be late, it was on its way. Uh, yeah. That shit isn't gonna fly either. So my call went something like this:

"Good morning, Mimi, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, I love you.... am I first?"

And then she said a bunch of shit, I don't remember what, because I was first, and that's all that matters. Clearly, I love her best. Oh, and then I told her that we'd just wait and do her card and her present when she gets here next week, because it's more special to do it in person, even if it's late. She totally went for that.

Can we just talk for a second about how fly she is?



Too bad I look like my dad.

Cute pics. I called my oldest sister at 7:30 AM on her b-day this Monday. I have to be early - otherwise I forget...and oh, I like to be FIRST too!

Evil Twin's Wife said...

Happy Birthday to Mimi. I think you favor her quite a lot. And, I was clearly the most loving child in my family too.

You guys.... my beloved Mimi is the best. She is by far... the most fun, loving, precious person I know.

And, I am totally her favorite niece.

Happy Birthday, Mimi. You Rock!

Momma: That's ok...I'll just be "pretend perfect adopted daughter" !

GiGi: It's good to be first...obviously, we care too much. ;)

ETW: Thanks...and yes, I would have to agree with you on that one.

Jenny: You ARE totally her favorite niece, as well as my favorite cousin, and all around BFF :)

It's about time!

Happy Bday Mimi!

Where do you get your dark skin from? I'm not seeing it.

Warped Mind of Ron said...

Happy Birthday Mimi!!!! It's very important to be first, I would have called just after midnight to ensure that I was first :)

Laura said...

Vino: Those pics happened to be taken literally hours after I'd spent a week getting all leathered up at the beach. Mimi is normally very dark complected but sensibly has begun a daily sunscreen regimen...something that my "not getting any younger" skin needs to begin as well!

Ron: What's funny is my nephew had added her birthday to a "calendar" feature on her phone...so at 12:01 this morning she got a little wake-up call/reminder! She was not impressed.

Happy Birthday to Mimi!

And very smooth way to gloss over the fact that you hadn't yet bought her a card or present. haha ;-)

The Girl You Don't Bring Home to Momma said...

Awww, Happy Birthday to your Mimi - and yes, I would say you love her best. It doesn't qualify as "being first" unless it's on the big day, your brothers are cheaters....And can I say how cute your parents are... Have a great Friday, you are a special special daughter !!!

Efen said...

Oh mannn...sorry I'm late but:

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Elles Mom Mimi, Happy Birthday to you"!

Uh...sorry...I got off key there (sheesh...you're not going to take that easy set-up, are you? ;)

BTW...I'm her favorite 'guy my daughter met on the internet' I know she's sooooooo proud :)
