At least that's how I remember it.
My mom remembers it as St. Mary's Medical Center, but I'm sure it was the Queen Mary because I don't have a religious bone in my body.
(You guys are totally questioning my testimony right now, aren't you?)
One thing my hub and I like to do to spice up our marriage is role play, and since it's my birthday I took on the role of Grumpty Dumpty and he took on the role of Grumplestiltskin.
Poor Grumplestiltskin is tired of paying attention to Grumpty Dumpty after Mother's Day and poor Grumpty Dumpty is tired of turning another year older and another year wiser because it means she's that much closer to morphing into that girl with the sweet spirit and the nice personality.
You all know the girl.
Oh, just JOSHIN' peeps! I'm not old! And I'm not wise! And my hub and I don't role play to spice up our marriage!
And anyway, I ain't throwing no pity pArTaY today! I can mope about my sweet spirit tomorrow.
So I thought of something you can give me for my birthday? Give me a mountain with nothin' to dew!
Get it? Nothin' to dew? Are you guys too young for that commercial?
Did you guys dew the math on my age yet? Get it? Dew the math! (cracking myself up here).
If you want to know how old I am in Mountain Dew years then watch these commercials.
Just dew it! (Double dog dare you.)
At least watch the first three. I'm older than the It'll Tickle Yore Innards and the Hello Sunshine ads.
I was raised on the Give Me a Dew ads.
Which I blame for my GIVE ME A DEW RIGHT NOW mentality.
Which reminds me of the cutest, cutest Mountain Dew story ever. You guys know Sandi, right? Kute Kasey's mom? Well Sandi lubs me so much she sent her hub out here to Hawaii to buy me some Code Red Mountain Dew for my birthday. The guy camps out on the beach in a tent for 7 days scouring the island in order to help me CTR (Chose the Red) on my birthday. He even signs up for a Costco membership. But guess what! Costco doesn't sell Code Red. No one on the island sells Code Red (except Foodland, which is right next to my house.) So get this, she tells him to buy me a Ted's Bakery Chocolate Haupia pie instead(MY FAVORITE).
sniff
That's tru lub.
I'm verklempt (which means choked with emotion in SNL).
And coincidentally I bought Sandi a Ted's Bakery Chocolate Haupia pie for her birthday too, (which is on Saturday) (but since it's impractical to send a pie on a plane, I ate it and bought her some Japanese rice crackers instead).
Is that like the most beautiful Gift-of-the-Magi story ever?
MAHALO Sandi and Sandi's hub.
Well, I gotsta go. (My hub is waiting to give me my 15, 330 birthday spankings so he can call out Who's your dummy? from his van down by the river.)
P.S. Don't dew drugs. peeps!

Happy Birthday ME!
Just joshing. It's not even my birthday for another hour and 13 minutes. I'm just posting early so I can wake up and have 15,330 comments in my box.
Four down, 14,326 to go.
But seriously, I wanted to tell more of the cute Mountain Dew story.
So Sandi, I was preparing your birthday crackers and my son was like "why are you giving that to a blogger friend. Blogger friends aren't real. They're just internet friends." So I took him with me to meet you hub and Kute Kasey and to give the gift. My son was pretty impressed with your hub since he gave us a pie (that made him a very real friend) and since he's camping at Melekahana beach with all the RARE (according to my son) rooster cock-a-doodle-doo.
Kute Kasey is so lucky that her dad came over to fix her car. How cute! Sooooo, what does he think of Suli?
Thanks again Sandi. YOU ARE DA BOMB! YOU are a freakin' ROCK STAR! And your hub too. I can't believe all the trouble he went to to find me some Code Red. Is it really that hard? Taco Bell has some. ;)
Oh, I forgot to say THANKS to Martha for the delicious caramel peacan sweet rolls! (It wasn't the pasta salad I asked for, but it did the job!)
drats, beat out by a dummy!
Happy Birthday, Crash...hope it is wonderful and you roleplay someone you really like :)
I dew hope you have a great birthday!!!
Happy Birthday babe. 42 isn't old. Although seeing it in print makes it seem older than just saying it, huh? Forty-two. If I was still 39 I'd give you some grief over your 42-ishness. Oh wait -- I guess I already did.
Happy birthday!
And how lucky is it that the only DEW store is right by your house? I call that a perfect birthday gift!
Happy Birthday - go grab yourself a big oversized monster truck tire and Dew something on that mountain already! (see, some of us grew up watching those commercials too)
WV says "raphad" - it's like Rad and Fad all mixed up... of course, my kids would give me one of their "man you're old" looks if I said "rad" - musta been a fad?
Happy birthday, my plastic friend! You don't look a day over 63, so celebrate!
And thank you again for the birthday wishes yesterday. I was definitely surprised, but then Barbaloot said that you weren't known for your discretion. :) Can't wait to meet you, Dummy!
I haven't done the math, but Funny Farmer up there says you're 42. That's a great age. According to "The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy", 42 is the great answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. (Unfortunately, no one thought to work out what the question was...)
I did 42 three years ago, so I guess I'm already 'that' woman, whoever she is?
Have a lovely, dewy day!
Happy happy birthday Crash Dear, happy days will come to you all year if I had one wish that it would be a new home for me, oh I mean a happy happy birthday to you from me! Happy Birthday, hope it's a good one!
I think DeNae is confusing you with me since I am as old as the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything.
Happy Birthday— do the Dew!
To play off springrose...
if I had one wish then it would be, a trip to Hawaii from you to me!
Yahoo! Have a dew of a day! Happy Birthday Crash!
Happy
Birthday
to
you!!
Happy birthday!
You inspired me. I'm going to go grab a Dew.
Happy Happy birthday to a sweet spirit who has brought me so many smiles and laughs :) :D
Hope you have the best day ever!
For your birthday, I want to tell you that I had a dream about you last week. True story, only it was kind of long and full of strange details and I didn't rush right over to tell you about it, so now I've forgotton most of it. But you starred in one of my dreams, so happy birthday :D
Happy Birthday Crash!!
42 isn't old.
(but you're still older than me, only by a few weeks, but still older ;0)
I will go and consume a Mountain Dew in your name.
(I've never tried the code red. Is it any good?)
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You better do something wicked awesome today and tell us all about it.
Love ya cuz :)
Check your ctddiaries e-mail for something I just sent you.
What I want to know is how many Mountain Dews had you drank when you wrote this. You must have been on something. Loved every word.
Hope your day is filled with lots of Dew and no Don'ts. Have a good one.
Oh and have fun storming the castle, K.
Okay. My beach bum hub swore up and down that the had gone to 2 different Foodlands and there was NO code red, and that is why he went to Walmart and then signed up for a Costco card (even though we dont' live near a costco)- because the freaking Foodland did NOT have code red!! I just thought it was going to be so funny for him to show up on your doorstep with a case of dew. Oh well, I hope the pie was an okay replacement. Did KK tell you my message that I might somehow remember you mentioning that you are allergic to that pie? I couldn't quite remember if you said you love it or you are allergic so I just said what the helk and got it anyways.
I cannot wait for my Japanese crackers and amazing bag and card-- sooo exciting! Happy B.day and I certainly hope the river neighbors didn't hear all that "who's your dummy" business!
p.s. I'm glad your son was impressed with my hub's living arrangements. My kids were MORTIFIED! Hub thinks he is rugged and all that stuff so he was loving it. I can't wait to hear his version of your meet and greet- I hope he says you really are a DUMMY!!
LOL at ambushing your OWN comment box... such a Kritta thing to do! :)
Anyway... I hope you have an UBER special Birthday. I hope somebody sings you the Happy Birthday song ever time you smile... or frown... or whatever... cause that is what I would do.
I would pop out of no where and sing it at the top of my lungs!!!
Love ya girl!
Oh and We both have already met Suli, but he did get to spend a little manly bonding time with him this week. He likes him- Yay!
And those Dew commercials, what a trip down memory lane, they always used to have the BEST commercials, what ever happened to that?
And as for being the girl with the sweet spirit, well sorry but I don't see that happening any time soon. No offense..haha
HaPpY BiRtHdAY!!!!!
We are not even close to giving crash 15,330 comments yet- maybe she's not up to check yet??
Where's Kritta when you need her? There's a girl who knows how to fill up a comment box!
Congratulations on being birthed. Not everyone can do it with so my style!
I'm right here, Chicklins!!
I'm here to feel up your comment box for the next two minutes.
but then Connor and I are going SWIMMING!!!
It's an indoor pool...don't worry.
Things would fall off if I had to get in the water up here.
Happy happy Birthday from all of us to you!
Wishing you a happy birthday cuz that's what we do! HAY!!!!!
K I heart you bunches! I hope you have a great day....I'll be back later for another 14,999 comments
Just kidding it's 15,289...well 15,288 now!
Laters Birthday girl!!
This month is such a special one;
It’s birthday-time for you.
We’d really like to celebrate
Your happy day with you.
Zip-a-dee-ay and heigh-dee-ho,
Here’s something we can do.
We’ll sing a song that we all know,
Happy Birthday to you!
i know a lot of dummies, but you are by far the best one. happy birthday!
“Feliz Cumpleaños,” (fay-lees coom-play-ahn-yos)
That’s how they say it in Spain.
“Fröhlicher Geburtstag,” (frer-li-sher guh-burts-tahk)
In German it means the same.
“Gratulerer med dagen,” (grah-too-lay-rare med dog-en)
Norwegians say it too.
But any way you say it,
It means “Happy Birthday to you!”
You’ve had a birthday; shout “Hooray!”
We want to sing to you today.
One year older and wiser, too,
Happy birthday to you.
Hau`oli la hanau!
Ok, that's all I've got (thank heavens! am I right?) I just wanted to get you over the 50 mark!
Happy Birthday Crash!
I know it's your birthday and all Crash but hitting the Red a bit early aren't ya? Geesh lady!
Have the Happiest Birthday on the planet my dear! The interwebs wouldn't be the interwebs without some Crash!
Love ya tons I hope you have a great day.
wv - supee * that's nearly Slurpee!
Happy Birthday Crash!
YOU
ARE
THE
BESTEST!!!
OKay I'm done.
But then the MOldy Peaches song came on. And I like it so I am hanging out for a few more minutes. JUst filling up the box. Making stuff up. May's a cool month isn't it? Lots o' b days and summer's almost here (not that you would know being in Hawaii and all it's always summer where you are)
Anyway, song's still going. So I'm still hanging.
That's a long song ya know that?
Okay nearly done. okay
Loved it.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday! And, hey, you got 100 followers which is so appropriate considering you're 100 years old today. Right? Just kidding, esp since you are about 1.5 years younger than me . .
Oh. My. Goodness.
I repeat.
Oh. My. Goodness.
You guys are the nicest friends in the world.
I feel so pop-U-lar! I just know you guys are going to get me to 15,330 comments by the end of the day!
LY EVERYONE!
P.S. You guys do a great Kritta impersonation.
P.S.S. I'm going to go eat some of Martha's caramel peacan sweet rolls now.
Way to go Val and Andrea and Kritta! Are you all jealous that my hub got to meet the famous CRASH?? ( I am )
I'm jealous that your hub got to meet the famous CRASH! I wonder what she's like in person. I bet she forgot to comb her hair before she met your hub. And I bet she let her twins crawl on top of her beat-to-crap-van-down-by-the-river while she was poking him in the eye for not being able to find any Code Red.
Okay Sandi, here's some plain ole' fashioned honesty. I know you already know this, but I don't know where to buy Code Red either. Do you know I've never looked. Isn't that crazy for a girl who claims she has a Give-me-a-mountain-dew-mentality. I only drink it on special occasions, like when my students bring it to me. I don't CTR on a regular basis. I'm a poser, in other words. Your hub flew over here and did all that running around when all I really wanted was a chocolate haupia pie from Ted's Bakery. Somehow the universe knew that. You're like my guardian angel now.
But I have to tell you, my hub was very bummed that your hub beat him to the chocolate haupia pie punch. hee hee It's good your hub is leaving because I think my hub wants to take him on. ;) I walked in the door with the pie just as he was walking out the door to buy the pie.
hee hee hee You sneaky devil. So my hub bought me whipped cream instead. ha ha And a peach mango FUZE. Random, eh? Not sure why he got me a peach mango FUZE, but I kissed him anyway.
Oh Sandi, that CTR confession . . . can we keep that between you and me. I have an image to keep up.
btw, Sandi, I'm not really allergic to choc haupia pie, but I do start sneezing when I eat too much sugar or salt. Is that the saddest thing in the world!
Happy Birthday! I wish I had been cool enough to be born on a big boat like that:) Sorry, ship.
Well, you'll certainly get to 100 if you keep commenting like this!
Happy Birthday. I love hate birthdays. But I just love yours.
Of course, this is now belated, because I was too busy with my doing something/nothing yesterday afternoon and I didn't even LOOK here. How lame am I.
Happy Birthday Baby!!! No matter what...I will always be older, but never sweeter than you! In fact...I don't think I have ever even been called sweet...NOw I'm kinda sad about that...well...not really...
Ha Ha Ha - the CTR confession is TOTALLY between us. I will never ever EVER tell the hub that you didn't REALLY want the dew- not after all that searching he did. Wow I think your hub could totally take my hub out( I wont tell him that either) so I am glad he is headed to the airport soon! I hope your pie was very yummo and didn't make you sneeze!
The whipped cream that your hubby got you can be enjoyed in other places besides on the pie...
Have a GREAT birthday!
Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday! Hope it is fantabulous! You don't look a day over 15,000 days. Seriously. I'm not just saying that.
You are finally the perfect age --42. Until next month when the perfect age will change with me to 43. You can only catch up for three weeks.
Glad you liked the carmel pecan sweet rolls that I busted my buns to make. I slaved over those rolls and made sure they didn't rise too much or too little and weren't too gooey or too over baked. Sorry that it wasn't pasta salad, but I was in a sugar mood. You are probably sneezing like crazy now with the pie, sweet rolls and probably a cake.
So is Sandi's hubby still on the island? I want to go chase him down..lol.
Oh yeah, I forgot..Happy birthday crash.
Dew have fun on your special...if you've made it a point to be born on the Queen Mary, you should definitely make it royal.
Sorry, I was trying to be witty but I think I'm failing in that department...I've used up all my wit just trying to figure out what's older than you in my post!!
Ok, so you know what I do with cyber friends? Well, you're both cyber and real but you wanna know what I do to my friends in the cyberworld? Huh? Huh?
I would totally show you but looks like your comment box floor is littered with peeps..lol.
Hey Anjeny I'm thinking he would have loved to have you chase him down :) He's sitting at the airport right this very minute all depressed cause he has to come home!
****runs straight at the dummy, knocks her down on her plastic tush..lol...grabs her by her shirt lapel and slobbers all over her face with kisses...****
Ewwwwwwwwwww!! Lucky for you that's only virtual slobbering..lol.
Awwww...oh crap!! He will be halfway over the ocean by the time I get to the airport...why didn't anyone tell me he was here? I would so love to meet your hub, how sweet that he went hunting for Code Red for Crash.
Ok, I gotta get off for a little, I need to go pick up my boys. I'm having Swirl's kids over this afternoon so it'll be a little while later before I come back.
So Crash? How does it feel to be 42? At least no matter how old you get, the mountain and dews on it will still be older than YOU..lol.
Like my Kritta style? This is actually more fun...
Later!!
Crash--- You are letting people in on my fun!!
Lots of commenting really is fun!
You get awesome WV like piglog.
I just stopped by for a few minutes. I HAVE to take a nap today!
Connor and I totally had a blast at swimming but it wears me out, BIG TIME!!
I think I get so tired cuz I don't have very many platelets.
Ah who needs 'em??
So I'm going to go get a bowl of cereal....cuz that's how Kritta rolls and comment away!
OHHHHHHH I"M TELLING WV!!!
It says binch!!!!
If the WV is suppose to be complete randomness, how do they stop swear words??
WV/Universe you need to be nice and not swear! We are here celebrating Crash's B day!!
So i was thinking on the way home from swimming... it would take FOREVER to have 15,330 comments...like over 200 hours...with one comment per minute.
So that being said, I'm going to shoot for 10%....1533 comments.
Is that a good deal Crash??
That one way be pushing it too cuz my calulator says it's going take 25 hours.
I think I suck at math.
So all you smart people out there...how long would it take to have 15,330 comments??
We did something like that over at Momdot once. It was for a stroller.
It actually crashed the page for a few hours.
I stopped going over there because there was tooooooo much chick drama.
i HATE chick drama.
Why can't we all just be happy??!!!
Like here, in Crash's comment box.
WV is being BADDDD again!!
It said awinch!!
Maybe I was mean to someone and karma is coming back to bite me.
I WAS mean to my sister.
BUT she was being a meany head too. Little snot!
FINE! I should have been the bigger person and been nice. WHATEVA WV!
So I'm going to go pray and take a nap. I'll be back later gator!
keep up the good work fellow Comment boxers!
Happy Birthday Day to YOU! Happy Birthday To you!
Happy Birthday Dear Virtual TWIN... Happy Birthday TO YOU!!!!
oops need to switch the account I was using... now I continue with my song
And many More... On channel 4
Frankenstein on Channel 9
Get a Date on Channel 8
My favorite Birthday EVER was when I turned 29... cause that is the age everyone SAYS they are!
I went to Costco and those Satans Helpers were out of my De-Shelled Pistachios!!! I'm in mourning because of it!
GET THIS... the WV says: DYING... I LIE NOT! IT totally knows how I am feeling inside!
The song on right now is Say what you need to say... I think I'm saying what I need to say! :)
This month is such a special one
It's birthday time for you
We really like to celebrate
This happy day with you!
Zippedy hey and hidey ho
It's something we can do
We'll sing a song that we all know...
Happy Birthday! To you!
I'm not sure how you feel about it chocolate and peanut butter - but I made you some peanut butter chocolate chip cookies for your birthday - from this recipe on smitten kitten:
http://smittenkitchen.com/2007/12/peanut-butter-cookies/
It has some fab pics if you want to see what we're eating in your honor.
Oh no, I forgot to have spam today...and alas, dinner is over!
Darn it to helk!
Man, those are some yummy birthday cookies! They are even sparkly from the sugar - maybe they are sparkly vampire birthday cookies!
wv - dumin
when you go slummin' at Crash's
That's so funny that you said to try Code Red on my son's cough - we did make him try Mountain Dew...against his will - he doesn't dew caffeine! I'd didn't dew any good unfortunately!
Maybe we could have converted him to the evil ways of caffeine if only we'd tried Code Red!!
Happy Birthday, Crash! Love you even though I didn't get you anything for your birthday other than this old comment.
However, I have a fascinating word verification for you: grabso.
And here is the unofficial Disneyland Birthday Song:
"This is your birthday song/It isn't very long!"
Happy birthday!
You're getting closer to your comment goal. I bet if you invite everyone over for a birthday slumber party, you'll get there.
i bet she would too!!
I'm just saying...a slumber party in Hawaii!!
Just checking in!
Had a great nap...now going to help someone sew a quilt....be back later!
I have great news for when I get back!!
No I'm not pg but almost as good!
Aw, Happy Birthday!!! Again. :)
Happy Birthday!
I love "The Gift of the Magi" but I get a headache every time I read it. Oh, and "The Necklace" too.
I ate frozen yogurt and thought of you. Well, kind of. It was retroactive after I realized it was your birthday.
Hmm..good idea Melanie, I am going to blame every single thing I ate today on it being Crash's birthday :)
ME too, Sandi!
Oh peeps, 125 comments. We're almost there! Kritta how funny that you calculated the time it would take if we commented every minute. Ha ha.
Kritta it was fun hearing every single stage of your day. So glad you had fun at the pool and then got a good nap. Can't wait to hear your good news.
You guys are the best peeps in the world. You totally made me day!!!
LY Everyone!
Okay, since I think I was just about the only one to comment just once I had to get on here and remedy that.
K- now we have to hear all about your birthday.
I didn't have SPAM either- sorry. Should have read Val's comment before I made dinner. Would have given me a good idea. I was idealess for dinner so we went with quesadillas.
Last WV was fixwfack. Don't really have anything for that one, just thought it was funny.
This WV is anibag. Made me think of Funky Bag Freak, who is having some surgery something or other going on and isn't doing so well.
Goodnight!
happy bday, girl! enjoy the buzz!
Oh my goodness. You guys, my verifier is being saucy today. Borderline RUDE. I can't believe all the faux swear words it's dishing out to you guys today.
But thank you so much for braving it for my sake.
LY
Happy 42! Long live the haupia Pie! So I have no advice or cute things that go with 42... but 42 is divisible by 7 and I learned in New testament class that 7 means complete or perfection! When divided by 7 the answer is 6, so this is the 6th time you've hit perfection! So happy birthday to the perfected dummy!
So I feel like a total lame Kritta.
I went quilting and quilted my little heart out.
Then I got home and made a pumpkin pie for my hubby to celebrate or orders!!!!!! And now commenting!
But you already posted about your birthday!
i feel I have to give you at least 1% of your goal!
So I apologize for not filling your comment box today on this special day!
So as I said before..
WE GOT OUR ORDERS!!!!
We are going to New Mexico.
WV-slize!!!
WV be nice! I said I was sorry to Crash!
We are going to New Mexico!
I'm really really excited to just know!
Oh did you know that I am going to start working on thw Magic quilt this weekend??
We are thinking we are going to buy a house down there.
Have you bought a house before??
I'm really nervous about it. It's a LOT of money to be throwing down!
OH the Snuggie commercial is on right now! I think of Kristina P every time!
My hubby even tells me to hush everytime it comes on cuz I tell her stories about her every time!
I am drinking Kool-Aid listening to Without a Trace and googling houses in New Mexico.
Holloman AFB is actually where we are going. you can google it.
I'm so glad that you had a great day!
What are you going to do with that puppy??
I would tell you to keep it but I just got over my puppy needing stage! It's called having a two year old!!
WV Reess....Recess?? I loved recess in school! I used to jump rope with all the fifth graders in first grade!
WV priest
I don't know if I've ever had vegan cookies. Interesting
Oh do you know what I saw at the BX (base exchange store) yesterday????
Those wonderful goodies you sent me! The chocolate caramel, nut thingys. I forgot the name.
I feel really bad that I didn't give you a 1533 comments today!
Do you forgive me Crash??
