Happy Birthday to us!
darian's birthday was on the 15th and mine was the 18th...
darian's bday day started at 5am---we had to get up early to drive to glendale, where the donnas (d's favorite band) were doing a video shoot.....d had been picked a few days before (after sending in pictures and application to be in the video)....since she is under 18, i had to go along to sign the permission/authorization form.
there was a professional makeup artist on the set and d had her makeup done.....then it was time to start the shoot....the fans were being filmed screaming as the donnas got out of a limo and went into the studio......lots of takes of screaming fans.....d got to hug a couple of the band members so hopefully she'll end up in the final cut of the video....
when we arrived home, there was a delivery guy with sprinkles cupcakes (from ron & kat in austin---thanks guys!!)---d was so excited! said she was having a rockin' day: makeup done, video shoot, sprinkles cupcakes delivered to her door : )
that evening, we went to the rainbow on sunset for dinner and a couple of d's friends joined her....after that, she went to the roxy with one of her friends to see junior senior and gravy train.....turns out, the singer and bass player from the donnas were there and the singer came up to d and talked to her for quite some time.....they talked a couple times throughout the night......pretty cool day for d..
my day was not quite as exciting....i had to do my own makeup, no video shoot, etc ; )
our good friend, dean, came over to the house and we all went to lunch at the cheesecake factory....it's always great to see dean.....dean's bday is 8/9, so we always try to get together to celebrate all our bdays.......we met dean back in 1994......he was the one comforting thing to us when we found out we were moving out here----comfort in knowing that a dear friend lives here.....made the move easier....we try to get together from time to time....wish it was more often...he's a great guy...
after lunch, we all came back to the house and visited for a while...was nice.
late last night, d and i went to high voltage tattoo in w hollwood and i got a birthday tattoo (a yellow and purple pansy on my right upper arm)....i think it is a starting piece to a larger arm tattoo.....we'll see....my arm is really bruised now -- taking plavix makes any kind of pressure leave a bruise and having constant pressure on my arm for about an hour really did it up good...came home and went to bed....
will post a picture after it heals......
