Andrew Hotpants: “Hänni, what night is your birthday party?”
Me: “Uh, you mean the party for my birthday which is in like two days?”
Andrew Hotpants: “Yeah.”
Me: “Uhm, would that be the party that you’re hosting? The one I watched you create email invitations for?”
Andrew Hotpants: *Blank stare*
Me: “So I’m guessing you haven’t prepared for anything big like belly dancers, sword swallowers, or uh … guests?”
Andrew Hotpants: (Cradling me in a massive bear hug) “Hey, you know I love you more than anything else in the world, right?”
Me: “Yep. Well, at least you remembered to order my ice cream cake.”
Andrew Hotpants: (Squeezing tighter, sweating a little) “Ice … cream … cake? Erm …”

*tries not to giggle* *fails*
I hope that everything works out splendidly. Maybe he’s just pulling your leg?
so is AHP also a younger man? awesome. happy birthday to you!
Happy almost birthday! My card to you is sitting on the baking rack at my house still (of course) but rest assured you will still receive a gift on your actual birthday. I promise!
PS: CK is an ice cream cake aficionado as well. Also, most places don’t require much lead time for ice cream cakes. They essentially just pull one out of the freezer (i.e. at Cold Stone) and write your name messily in green icing. Exhibit A: http://www.flickr.com/photos/girlieerin/286399277/in/set-72157594356577495/ …nice work there, eh? Hopefully your cake is a little more impressive! xoxo
Jonathan–it’s ok. i giggled too … until i realized there was no cake … and then i cursed. (kidding! kind of)
leigh–AHP is actually a little older, a fact of which i liked to tease him about back when I was in my 20s and well, he wasn’t. now that the playing field has been leveled, i think we’re both going to claim 29.
erin–a gift? for me? on my birthday? you shouldn’t have … (but really you should. i LOVE presents). I had no idea about Cold Stone, but rest assured AHP has now been informed and I think we can safely say, even if we have no guests, there will be a CS sweet cream cake (preferably with chocolate frosting) making my day on Dec. 2.
