Brian’s 30th birthday was last night, we all got together at Ted Montana’s and went to a Birmingham Barons game.  Here’s a few pics from the night…

This is his cake from Edgar’s…  Devil’s food….

The whole group at Ted Montana’s.

OK, Lucy’s fine. 

Lucy has a problem with throwing things.  Drink out of a cup, throw the cup.  Eat off a plate, throw the plate.  You have to set it on the floor, and even then she bangs it on the ground.  So yesterday, poor John left his favorite coffee mug on the countertop and Lucy drank some coffee, then off went the cup.  I told him to save the pieces and I’d try to superglue it when I got home.  When I got there, it was only in about 5 pieces, and hell, I’ve superglued a car taillight together, I can superglue a coffee mug.  I eventually get it together and set it in the cupboard, turn my back for a second and turn back around to find that Lucy has found a drop of superglue on the counter and thought is smelled good enough to eat.  God love her, I think it superglued her tongue to her beak for a minute.  She started making this awful face, and running her tongue along the bottom of her beak and then CLOSING HER EYES.  I seriously thought she was croaking on me.  As much as I could kill that bird sometimes, I really don’t want to be the cause of it.  So I’m freaking out at this point, trying to get water down her, food down her, anything to displace whatever the hell is in superglue, and finally, thankfully, she comes around and bites the crap out of me.  All is well now.

And the irony was not lost on me that it was fixing her own doing that nearly killed her. 

Most of you reading the blog know John and I pretty well, I imagine, so I won’t go on and on about who we are.  Team Dixon is a phrase we’ve said for a long time, “we’re going to get through this, Team Dixon” or “I’ll get the sodas, you get the beer, Team Dixon”.  That sort of thing.  We’re cheesy like that.  I probably won’t update this every day, but then again I might.  I don’t want to bore anyone to tears or anything.  But if you’re interested in our life, hopefully it’ll all be posted here.
