As MM pointed out it rained on my birthday last year too. Last year he and I went to Plymouth MA and attended a ghost tour of haunted Plymouth, including the spooky old Burial Hill. I know MM didn't enjoy himself because he really isn't into all that spooky kind of stuff, but he played along because it was my birthday and he knew I would enjoy it. In fact, he was a very good sport and he kept the eye rolling to a minimum. When our tour guide channeled the Plymouth witch in the graveyard, I would even swear he was mildly enjoying it!!
We stayed at the John Carver Inn which I could feel was loaded with spirits before we could even make it to our hotel room. Walking down the long narrow, dimly lit corridor I felt a heavy sensation pressing in all around me. I asked MM if he felt it, but he didn't know what I was talking about.
Later that evening while learning the haunted history of the town, we discovered the history of the hotel. It used to be a medical university. The story goes that some very sinister medical experiments took place there. And when the Civil War ended and the supply of bodies to experiment on fell short, the professors started robbing freshly buried bodies from the graveyard out back to use as their practice subjects!! Yikes!!
Anyways although MM and I are not currently living under the same roof we did spend some time together yesterday - and I got to see that sweet, tender side of him that reminded me why I fell in love with him in the first place.
Then one of my friends took me out to see my first Burlesque show! IT WAS AWESOME!!! The rest of my birthday will be told through a series of photos...
The event sold out, and people outside offered us $100 for our tickets but we said "No way!!"
Spooky photo of me inside the club....
When I got home I treated myself to a slice of birthday cake and a glass of wine in my new wine glass that my dear sister sent me in a package filled with other wonderful birthday surprises.
And the most important part of the day... my birthday wish!!! Of course I can't tell what it was, but I will tell you all this, it was the best wish I've ever made and I'm quite sure it will all come true. You know why?? Because I saved the creepy witch finger candle that the tour guide gave me on my last birthday to use as the wish conductor!! I'm quite sure there must be some magic in that candle!!
The best ending of all, I got to go to bed with a big black guy!!
And she lived happily ever after...
Looks like a hella good night.
ReplyDeleteWell, the world is certainly a better place with you in...so good job on that being born 34 years ago thing.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can turn it into a lovely Bday weekend.
Hugs to you
Here's my psychic prediction: 34 will be GOOD!
ReplyDeleteHey! You made it to 34, not everyone does that, so I'd count it as a win anyway! Happy Birthday for yesterday! x
ReplyDeleteHappy late Birthday! Looks like a you had quite a day :)
ReplyDeleteDamn, I missed your birthday. I was gonna give you some, too. I’m like a Hallmark Card – For Those Who Deserve The Very Best. But since I missed it, I will have to wait until next year to make your day.
ReplyDeleteAnd I feel it will be a good year for you, too. You will have so many new and exciting things to look forward to…especially you next birthday.
And I hope yesterday was as special as you wished it to be.
Happy Birthday! Glad to know MM did his best to make sure you had a good time. And Burlesque show sounds awesome! I'm super jealous!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! It looks like quite a celebration :) the wish sounds like a lock!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!! I'm glad you had a good day and may your wishes come true. :) I wonder if I'll get to sleep with a black guy when I turn 62?
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!! I've always wanted to go to a real, properly done burlesque show - sounds like a great birthday :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun and the cake looked so tasty!! Happy Birthday! Hoping 34 is your best year :)
ReplyDeleteHoly crap I missed it! Happy day late birthday! Your wish will definitely come true because you're messing with witch-finger candles...either that or some voodoo lady scorned by love somewhere is getting her revenge, turning her former loved one into a flaccid toad...maybe that is the wish, I don't know.
ReplyDeleteRegardless, a very happy birthday to you! You're great and I'm very happy that you've chosen to share your talent with the world.
Yeah. The John Carver has spirits. The employees say weird things happen in the dining hall when it's quiet at night.
ReplyDeleteCourse, I've never noticed as I've only been there for birthday pool parties. Clearly the spirits must have been woken by the kids craziness.... it was enough to, well, wake the dead.
I can't take the tour... it will freak me out. I'll never sleep again.
Joshua - It was hella something, alright!!
ReplyDeleteAnnabelle - It has definitely been an entire birthday weekend celebration for me!!
Suz - I'm going to want my money back if that doesn't hold true! LOL!
Arlequin - Mmm. Only the good die young!! (I guess that counts me out!!)
Danielle - It was action packed to say the least! Thanks for the wishes!
Coffey - I'm sorry I missed my chance to play hide the birthday candle with you!!
Leila - Yep, MM gave me a copy of Beauty and the Beast. (Do you think he was trying to tell me something??)
Smiles - Any celebration that ends with a big black guy in my bed is a good one!!
ReplyDeleteBelle - You'll have to find your own black guy if so! I ain't sharing!! Thanks for the Bday wishes!!
Ixy - You would have loved it! It was very classy and very entertaining!! The dancers were AMAZING!!
Princess - (I actually had TWO pieces of cake!! OOh yeah, I'm a BAD girl!!)
Pickleope - Thanks very much!! And you're wishes aren't late as I'm celebrating all weekend long!!
Julianna - Sweet! I didn't think any of my readers even knew about the John Carver Inn - never mind actually having been there!!
