Yesterday was my birthday…the big 2-8. Daniel knows all about my youngest-child-birthday-expectations, and he always comes through with memorable birthday things. Such as the scavenger hunt which led me all over our house and ended with the discovery of my very own domain name! This is a photo of me after I deciphered the final clue and opened up www.ourwaldobungie.com for the first time…
Obviously there is still some work to be done to get everything moved over, but I was/am very excited! The excitement continued when I opened my new Kindle!
The Kindle was a gift from my parents, so I was on the phone with my mom as I opened it…in case the crazy eyes don’t give me away, I was very, very excited (Rufus assisted with the gift opening). My weekend consisted of catching up with friends, a date with Daniel (that included dates with Ryan Gosling and Joseph Gordon Levitt via film), and finally, yesterday, we did one of my all time favorite Kansas City things with Lucy Lou…we took advantage of the unseasonably warm 60 degree weather with a walk through the Nelson-Atkins Museum Sculpture Park.
We showed her all of the sculptures in our effort to ensure she is a cultured dog…
But of course, being the teenager she is, she couldn’t help but laugh when we showed her the infamous “Shuttlecocks” statues, because come on, who woulda thought shuttlecocks were art?!
After some cajoling, we did manage to get her to pose nicely though…
While I know that Lucy Lou enjoyed our walk through the Sculpture Park, I am pretty sure her favorite part of our little adventure was the car ride…
She stuck her little head out the window and soaked up the sun, although I am sure she was pretending we were driving down the PCH instead of Wornall…
If you want a dog that appreciates the arts and car rides, and you think Lucy Lou might be that girl, contact me at {ourwaldobungie@gmail.com}

We watched “Drive” and “50/50.” Both were really good – I’ll admit that my crush on Ryan Gosling is borderline unhealthy, although my crush comes from seeing Lars and the Real Girl or Crazy Stupid Love, Drive is pretty violent and he is a bit creepy in that one! 😉

Sounds like a great birthday! Enjoy your kindle, I just got one as well. It is a little tricky to figure out, compared to other touch based electronics but I guess there was bound to be an electronic that did not make total sense right off the bat.
I would love to take a walk around that sculpture park, wish we had known that was there when we were in Kansas City and could not find a single things to do. That city was so quiet/empty compared to the cities here out near DC.
Happy Belated Bday

Your expressions are too much! And I love how things I only see in a Parks and Rec episode can become real life. Love seeing the sculpture garden. Happy Birthday!

I think he was definitely inspired by the Parks & Rec episode…it was a Leslie Knope-esque hunt for sure!
