Meg’s 29+1 J-pop bubblegumextravaganza

Today by beautiful, graceful, sweet spirited Meg turned 30. I’m so blessed to have her in my life… I’ve really won out on the deal. She’s amazing.

It’s been a few years since I tried to throw her a big party for her birthday. Last time I made an honest effort to surprise her. But she’s well versed in the ways of Encyclopedia Brown and found me out. This time I decided to include her in the planning and decision making. It’s just easier, and I think she rather likes it.

As my dear lady is fond of Japanese pop culture, we threw a J-pop party. I had a friend doing Japanese-styled (anime inspired) makeup for the ladies, very, very strange Japanese (or other Asian) candy, something that held Jello and was the size of a coffee creamer, Dance Dance Revolution in one room, Wii in the other. There was a slick J-pop mix to greet the early arrivals, seaweed snacks (taste like fish meets potato chips). The cake was Hello Kitty. Oh, and I made sushi.

All told, we had a great time. It was great, and all to celebrate the birthday of the most amazing lady I know.
