I asked my dad what he wanted for his birthday, and he said, "Take your husband out for a burger or some spudnuts to celebrate my big day." Then I had to ask what spudnuts are.
That's just the kind of guy my dad is. You ask what he wants (it's hard to shop for dads!), and it's something for me. I hand him the money I get from selling my textbooks back (that he paid for) and he tells me to keep it. He pays for my wedding and then still buys us a gift (Groundhog Day/What About Bob set!). He gives his motorcycle to AJ to have him fix it, then tells him to keep it. Yeah.
Maybe some of your millionaire daddys do the same thing, but mine does it without the cash and twice the heart. It's incredible.
So Dad, I hope you have a great day today. I may still buy you something, but don't get your hopes up, because you told me a blog post or handmade card would do this year. Megan told me I could make you a necklace... And don't forget, you got to sleep in an extra hour on a Sunday! Happy Birthday! Wow, are you 40 already? ;)
I really wanted to post a cute pic of my dad on here, but he's usually the one behind the camera, plus, they're mostly at their house. The ones I had I used up in my Father's Day post. Okay, I had one more, but it was embarrassing. But here's a nice one of all of our parents...
psst! Hey Dad, I just realized where I got my love for dressing up, mentioned in my Halloween post. From you! It's genetic! Santa! Robin! Third Eye man! Road Kill! make up! wigs! haha. Now that would have been some great pictures to post.
edited later: Jeff sent me this pic, and I had to add it to the birthday post!
