Today Is my birthday! I am happy that it has been a good day: I worked for a few hours, had lunch with my mom, came home to find Mike wearing the same outfit as our first date and being generally adorable. 
In a little while we’re going on a Pyrex thrift store hunt. Maybe find me a new jigsaw puzzle (not at the thrift store – thrift store puzzles freak me out)? Last night I finished my 1500 piece mescaline puzzle. This puzzle is so fucked up we decided the creator surely had to be on drugs. Lots and lots of drugs!
Lately I’ve also run across some totally fucking awesome Utah thrift store finds. Here are a few pictures of a game called Forever Families. The object of the game is to collect genealogy information cards called “Ancestors” that you then use to take to the temple to receive “Session Cards.” In case none of that makes sense to you, “Session Cards” refers to baptisms for the dead, or temple marriages for the dead. CREEPY.
We ran across this little jewel last night at the library. I thought the title said it all… but (unbelievably) it gets BETTER. Some creepy person hand wrote extra instructions in the text regarding bust enlargement using total brain power. HOLY FUCK. Mike said he’s going to check it out and read it to my boobs while I sleep.

Oops! Forgot to include this awesome link about baptisms for the dead:

I saw that dead baptism thing on Big Love!
also, I would imagine puzzles harbor all sorts of germs.
Happy birthday!

Maybe that’s what happened to my boobs. Someone read them that book while I slept!
Hope you have a phenomenal day. You deserve it.

ubermilf,
Yeah, I imagine all sorts of weird germs to be inside thrift store puzzles…and possibly missing (and maddening) pieces.
sizzle,
I’m beginning to wonder if someone has been reading that book to my boobs all along.
Thanks!

Happy, happy, Miss P.!!
That puzzle is SO cool! It looks like outsider art or something. And thrift store puzzles certainly can’t be trusted.

Happy Birthday!
Oh, and you’re scaring me again with that Forever Families game. Why do you perpetuate this terror? Oh, the humanity.

I’m with you on thrift store puzzles… Anything that is unsanitizable generally gets left on the shelf.

Happy Happy Birthday and oh my god, that book is amazing.

Oh, man. That game is a FIND. How old is it?
So impressed.
Also, happy birthday!

To keep everyone in the loop, that book is now on hold for me, and I will commence the master plan for enlargement. Non-photographic results will be posted.

Happy birthday! The boob book is the weirdest thing ever. I once found a used guidebook in Vegas and some girl had hand written a to-do list in the front cover. Some of the good ones I can remember were, “Get tan, research boob jobs, gamble and win.” I had a good laugh over that.

Happy Birthday =)

Happy belated birthday! and

The posthumous marriages and baptism truly terrify me. Like, “I’ll probably have weird dreams tonight because of it” terrify me.
Emotional trauma aside, I’m glad you had a good birthday. You deserve every nice thing that comes your way. Hope you’re holding up OK, Ms. Pants.
