HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAIR BAIR!!

I'm sacraficing my double chin for your cuteness in this picture Jairus!

This was taken at my 30th birthday surprise party,

I had weepy eyes from joy,

and was sick with a baby in the belly,

so please cut me some slack:)

Jairus requested “A Day With” For his birthday…

First,
I would serve you breakfast in bed
consisting of crepes made by Marie
with fresh strawberries, nutella, and whipped crème,

freshed squeezed orange juice, and crispy bacon.

On the tray would be a vase

filled with forsynthia and dogwood branches,

with a copy of the New York Times.

You would put on your Thom Browne outfit,

and slip on your Prada trainers that are gold and lime,

all courtesy of Fall Fashion Week.

*******************

We would jump into your new black Range Rover

and on your seat would be

a Marc Jacobs "murse" (man purse).

Inside would be...

bag of chocolate covered espresso beans,

Gucci sunglasses,

Versace gloves,

Viktor and Rolf cologne,

Yves Saint Laurent scarf,

Goyard moneyclip,

and a Baume & Mercier watch.

(did I miss anything?)

In the cup holder would be

a crisp Evian or San Pellegrino.

On the radio would be playing Hotel Costes.

********************

We would first stop at

a co-op garden where you can

plant your own peas, carrots and cabbages

and out from behind the giant Sunflowers

would jump Sam!

Surprise!

*********************

After hugs and jubilation

we would jaunt on over to Barnes and Nobles

to look at magazines and drink hot steamy

hot chocolates.

Martha Stewart would be signing copies of her books

and would insist on accompanying us

to Normandy for lunch.

*****************

We would indulge in soup, salad, sandwiches

and decadent pastries like those from France.

Martha would make origami doves

out of our napkins and invite us to

Turkey Hill for Christmas holiday.

**************

On our list of stops would be some

thrift stores and antique shops.

you will find some copper pots,

a vintage croquet set,

and an old school bicycle.

I will find a velvet picture

of a clown crying.

**************

Next we would have to

rush off to the private concert

that Sting is putting on for us in Sundance.

Out from behind the stage

would pop Mardi!

Surprise!

******************

We would dance to the feverish beats

and then when we tire and faint,

we'll invite Gordon and Trudy to accompany

our growing party to Takashi where we will

savor fresh sushi made in authentic Japanese fashion.

*****************

Next, we will hurry up to Park City

for art shows in all the galleries

and out from behind the ice sculpture of you

will pop Audry!

Surprise!

***************

She has made her famous bread pudding

for us all and we gobble it down

whilst laughing and discussing latest trends.

*************

Lastly,

we will retire to an old renovated farmhouse

where Sam has lined the pebbly

walkway with lanterns and trailing ribbons

on shepherd hooks.

There will be a crisp mossy smell in the air

and songbirds will be serenading us as we enter.

Inside behind the bails of hay

will pop out all your loved ones- family and friends.

They will attack you with loves and kisses

and then we will have a dance party,

play "radio video",

and eat lots of candy.

***************

I love you so much bud!

My life is sweeter,

funner,

richer,

and merrier,

with you in it!
