Birthday thoughts!

First off- BIG thanks to everyone who left awesome birthday wishes on my facebook page! Y’all ROCK!

So today was the day I was born yay!

 

PS me and this cat were meant to be best friends……

 If it wasn’t for my parents and today then you wouldn’t be able to read those fabulous fashion blogs yall love! haha. and speaking of fashion blogs!!

So for my birthday (and my mom’s too- her’s is the 5th) we started this tradition for Dad to take mom and I out to eat at a nice restaurant. This year’s choice was the Cheesecake Factory in Greenwood…yummmy big food and cheesecake!

insert me drooling here…..I’ll have one of each please! thanks!

ANYWAYS- to kill time before dinner- we walked around Greenwood Mall and stopped in Von Maur. We walked by the shoes and low and behold I saw this….

 

Look familiar at all? it should! This is an exact replica (minus the train) of the dress Brooke Shields wore to the Emmy’s Last year!!!

 

I was shocked! I’m sure this happens a lot in the fashion world…but this was the first time i ever recognized a copy cat dress from an awards show for prom season. I was excited! and I also just figured out how to upload a picture from my phone to my computer so yay!!

So back to where I was- yeah it’s my birthday today- and one of my favorite things to do is see what else happened today in history…and thanks to wikipedia I will share my findings!

Dr. Seuss was born today!!

So I’m totally honored to share my birthday with this great author! hehe. I loved going to elementary school on my birthday because all we did was sit around and read Dr. Seuss books all day. And if I ever became famous and my birthday became a national holiday- I would want schools to continue this tradition. maybe make everyone eat green eggs and ham too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Texas Declared Independence from Mexico today!

According to wikipedia…

Texas Declaration of Independence is signed and the Republic of Texas is declared. David G. Burnet is elected interim president by the delegates in 1836. So Yay Texas! (Acey- I included this fact for you!)

Ben Roethlisberger (aka the great Sasquatch)  was also born today….. blah…

Good for him for winning the Superbowl, but I’m sorry Steelers fans. I don’t like him. He looks like a giant Sasquatch and he was dumb enough to not wear a helmet while riding his motorcycle. I wish the doctors took advantage of the opportunity to fix his face along with everything else he broke in the accident 2 years ago. I would have!

 

 

 

 

Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in a single game on this day in 1962!

Wow! That’s crazy awesome! From wikipedia.com…

“Among others, he is the only player in NBA history to average more than 40 and 50 points in a season or score 100 points in a single NBA game. He also won seven scoring, nine field goal percentage, and eleven rebounding titles, and once even led the league in assists.^[3]

And this right here is my favorite fact-toid….

“After his basketball career, Chamberlain played volleyball in the short-lived International Volleyball Association, ….^] Chamberlain was also a successful businessman, authored several books and appeared in the movie Conan the Destroyer. He was a lifelong bachelor, but became notorious for his claim to have had sex with 20,000 women, a statement which has entered popular culture.”

I wonder if his love for short shorts had anything to do with the switch to volleyball? hahaha!

 

And of course other events today include today’s James Bond Daniel Craig’s Birthday, King Kong opens in New York’s Radio City Music Hall, the ban of chloroflorocarbons in Europe in 1989, and the first automatic streetlight is installed in New Milford, Connecticut on this day in 1949.

So yay for today! And to celebrate all these momentous occasions I plan on stuffing my face with red velvet cake! Because calories don’t count on your birthday!

Have a great day yall! Keep it Rockin!
