All that's missing is Julia Roberts.

In case you don’t have a calendar, we’re but mere hours away from OCTOBER! October, the month of HALLOWEEN! October, the month of ANGRY BABY’S BIRTHDAY! October, the month where 75% of you reading this notice a remarkable change in the weather…most of you get MUCH cooler.

Not us.

Oh, Lerd it’s hot out there y’all! Tuesday it was over 100 (WTF!?) and it’s still in the 90′s (after a “cool front.”) I’m just gonna be real with y’all for a minute. I’m skrood.

Angry Baby is turning 1(!) on October 16th. It’s going to be a simple outdoor get together real old-skool baby party style. It’s only family and the very limited group of baby peers Angry Baby tolerates. I’ve been to some awesome first birthday baby parties, and while I would love to have my shiz together enuff to pull one of those off, I’m a realist.

Here’s what I see the party as being…

1. Incredibly Messy.

2. Attended by a super- Angry (and ADORABLE) party hostess with grandparents that swear she’s kittens and roses also in attendance.

3. Shorter than Christmas morning

4. Hot as Hail.

You see, when I originally planned an outdoor park picnic party (pointless alliteration and it stays,) I thought Mother nature would have gotten off of her duff by now and it’d be cool by MID OCTOBER.

But Alas! That appears to be a joke. Still, I’m too lazy to give Angry Baby birthday cake indoors (read: can’t hose it down and walk away.) So, looks like we’re all gonna be sweatin’ it come 3 weeks(!!!) from now.

I mean really, it’s practically HALLOWEEN and it’s STILL IN THE 90′s THE NINETIES!
