So, it’s Captain Thoughtful’s birthday today and I really love that guy a whole bunch so I’m dedicating this post to him. Because it’s about him. More specifically, it’s about the gifts I was going to get him but didn’t and that he should probably thank me for not doing.
1. A kangaroo. Captain Thoughtful loves kangaroos but I heard they will totally kick your chest in and also one of his best friends is going to Australia for 5 months and he’s going to miss him so I didn’t want to rub it in by buying a kangaroo for his birthday. Because I’m thoughtful like that. And I couldn’t find a kangaroo.
2. Skydiving. Sure, he really wants to skydive but I figured it’s not worth listening to me worry about him non-stop for weeks on end and telling him about all the stories I heard about (and made up) about people dying horrible skydiving deaths because they accidentally flew into airplanes or got smacked in the face by birds who were angry that people were trying to invade their sky territory.
3. A bear hug. Like, an actual hug from a bear. It just seems like you would feel so safe and secure and loved in a bear’s arms. However, party-poopers convinced me otherwise.
You’re welcome Captain Thoughtful. Happy birthday!!! And also, I love your guts!!!
You’re so thoughtful! Mrs. Captain Thoughtful…nice ring to it, huh?
I think you’re b-day gifts are fabulous! Wish someone loved me enough to give me a bear hug…or was thoughtful enough to line up a kangaroo kick in the chest….and be there to cheer me on when I risk life and limb to jump out of a plane. Jeez…I’m never gonna find someone who loves me like that. C.T. is one lucky guy!
You totally are going to find someone who loves you in bizarre yet thoughtful ways!
Happy (belated, eep!) birthday, Captain Thoughtful! Did she let you wear a slap bracelet, at least? No? Not even for one day? …Are you SURE you want to put, I mean, keep a ring on it?
Of course I didn’t let him wear a slap bracelet- he can’t pull them off like I can. Silly Jules.
Hilarious!!!!
Happy Birthday Captain Thoughtful – Enjoy Your Special Day!
Thanks for wishing him a happy birthday!
Happy Birthday to the Captain of your heart!!
Thank you! I know he appreciates that!
And does C.T. appreciate your thoughtfulness? All things being equal, I think I might be terrified marrying you. Ya never know what you’re going to do next! lol
Happy birthday, C.T., and long life to ya!
He’s the sweetest and definitely handles my brand of crazy particularly well.
Thanks for wishing him a happy birthday!
He doesn’t know how lucky he is…or does he?
He says he does but I haven’t made him take the lie detector yet…
Skydiving- been there, done that! It’s actually pretty fun. (It should be noted that the only reason I did it is because I have an adrenaline junkie boyfriend.) Totally understand the worrying bit thought
I’ve done it myself and absolutely loved it! However, I’m a lot more worried about it when it’s someone else I know and love. Which is weird I guess…
Visit us in Canberra and you’ll see big Eastern Grey kangaroos in the streets.
I would LOVE to!
Awww, I was thinking of doing the skydiving thing with my BF for his birthday, however, being the curvaceous woman that I am I don’t know if there are any weight requirements and frankly I think that would put a little damper on the whole birthday if we’re on the plane and they say, “I’m sorry ma’am but you may just be too rubenesque for this activity.” LOL Happy Birthday Captain Thoughtful btw!
Hopefully they would tell you before you got in the plane.
You should totally call and ask though because I think you would have a blast skydiving! I know I did!
I absolutely will and being that his birthday isn’t until September maybe I could downsize on my curves a little by then? (Not too much though because he enjoys them.)
Awwwws!! Lovely
I see no harm in bear hug either as long as he’s fluffy and has an innocent look on its face ^_^
HAppy b-day to your C.T
Good point- if the bear looks happy there really can’t be any harm in it.
I hope some day a someone will love my guts, especially my large intestine.
You’ll find that person somewhere, I’m sure of it.
Happy birthday, Captain Thoughtful!
He says thank you.
Going skydiving the next week. If you never see any comments from me again, you’ll know why. (Well, that and I’m generally too lazy to leave them.)
Does Captain Thoughtful read your blog? Happy Birthday!
He does read my blog.
Also, in all seriousness, you’re going to love it! I went when I turned 18 and it was an amazing experience.
Oops I mean a kangaroo is awesome!!
I still think a kangaroo is also.
A dingo would be too!
Yes, but how does one house-train them?

Haha! Yeah, you have to watch out for those cuddly little guys.
