Low Key Birthday

I have been championing low key birthdays for a while now.

So I lived the low key birthday last night.  Came home from work around 6 pm, ordered some pizza, and put on the hockey game.  The hockey game lasted one minute.  I had to shut it off after Winnipeg scored 1 minute into the game.

So instead I watched Skyfall.  I’ve seen it before but it was entertaining enough to watch again (certainly more entertaining than the Sabres at that point).  A long bath and in bed by 11.  Not too bad.  Nice and low key.

 

My mom sent me a Whirley Pop Stovetop Popcorn maker for my birthday.  My popcorn making experience is now complete.

Oh, and Kenny Loggins Day was a success.  He played all day long and was acknowledged and enjoyed by all at work.  I’m not sure how many songs were played, but I even took requests.  That’s how successful Kenny Loggins Day was.  Two years running and it’s a tradition already.

 

Lastly… My boss got me a great card for my birthday.

Homecoming / Kenny Loggins Day

It’s my birthday.  34!!!!

Crazy.  Not really.   34 has been coming for a long time.  Ever since 33 really.

But aside from my birthday this a normal day.  Work.  Come Home.  Exercise probably.  Maybe, since its Tuesday, hang out with a friend and Vegan Mac n Cheese.  Maybe.

Sam has class till late, so we’ll see.  Maybe I’ll just watch the Sabres game.

Anyways, Sam and I drove home this weekend (well my home) to Queensbury.  We’ve been dating for over two years and she’s never seen my home town.  So we drove on out there for my father’s 65th birthday and a weekend surrounded by family.  Massive amounts of nephews and niece time.  It was great.

If it hadn’t been so cold I would have liked to show Sam some more of Queensbury.  She saw my parents house, my sister’s house, a few restaurants, and part of Saratoga.  There’s more to be seen there.  Hiking in the mountains, Lake George, the hunting camp, the Hudson River, small museums and art galleries in Glens Falls, small diners and locally owned restaurants, and some speciality shops.  Just lots of little things to do.  That’ll we’ll get to when it gets above freezing and we’re in Queensbury.

But its good to be home.  Angelo is loving having us back.  And it’s my birthday.  Wooo.  Time to go to work and celebrate “KENNY LOGGINS’ DAY!!”  It just so happens that Kenny Loggins Day fell on a weekend, and as a hardworking american I need to celebrate my holidays during the week to get the most out of them, so today is the observed celebration of Kenny Loggins Day.  It consists of only listening to Kenny Loggins and explaining his awesomeness to all who will listen.

Time to blast some Footloose.

Kenny Loggins Day II

So I celebrated the first Kenny Loggins Day at work by listening to soundtracks that Kenny Loggins was involved in or had songs on.  Granted this was at work, so I was pumping Loggins all day, but I did get more than a few co-workers on board with it.

So, what Kenny Loggins soundtracks do you know?

Here’s a list of the albums I pumped at work:

Footloose (duh)
Top Gun
Caddy shack
Caddyshack II

Next year I’ll branch out to more Kenny Loggins albums.  I heard for the first time that he was on the Over the Top Soundtrack.  I’m totally getting it.
