Actually sounds like a vegetable tray to me. And yes, that would be good. Happy B’Daze!
May 5th, 2007 at 8:43 amHappy birthday!!
May 5th, 2007 at 8:48 amHave a wonderful birthday! Maybe Rob will buy you a garbage shed for your special day. Although, actually? That would be a not-very-special gift. On second thought, I suggest jewelry.
May 5th, 2007 at 8:55 amHappy Birthday
May 5th, 2007 at 9:03 amWell, to go along with the gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free birthday, I wish you a bear-free birthday! Hope it’s wonderful and that you got yourself something fab!
May 5th, 2007 at 9:21 amHappy Birthday!
May 5th, 2007 at 9:39 amWhy don’t you eat some sugar and pretend like you’ve eaten a cake. That’s all there would be in the ‘cake’ without eggs,dairy and flour, isn’t it?
May 5th, 2007 at 9:44 amHappy Birthday
How are the bears?
May 5th, 2007 at 9:52 amHappy Birthday, Chris! Now wish me the same cause it’s my birthday too!!!
May 5th, 2007 at 9:52 amMmmmmm, sawdust cake for your birthday! Hopefully it doesn’t turn out as heavy as your dinner rolls did! It’s sweet that they’re trying, though. You have a very special family.
Happy BEAR-thday to you!
May 5th, 2007 at 10:21 amHappy BEAR-thday to you!
HAppy BEAR-thday dear Chriiiisssss!
Happy BEAR-thday to yoooooooou!
Hmmm. I’d forget the cake and have a bottle of wine (or something)! Happy Birthday!!
May 5th, 2007 at 10:28 amLOL!!
Rob, it is a primo gift. You are da boss!!!
May 5th, 2007 at 11:28 amHappy Birthday!!
May 5th, 2007 at 11:51 amBring out the pitcher of margaritas and have a big party on the special “Cinco de Mayo Birthday!”
May 5th, 2007 at 12:03 pmHappy Birthday! Have a great day!
May 5th, 2007 at 12:04 pmNamaste mixes are really good and free of all top allergens. I can’t remember what you mix with it, but we use applesauce instead of oil as it is less fattening and soy-free. You can use an egg replacer if it calls for egg.
It is very tasty and my daughter’s entire birthday party ate it without realizing it was dairy free, soy free and gluten free. My dad figured it out when I handed a piece to my toddler, who is/was allergic to all 3 of those.
May 5th, 2007 at 12:20 pmSo, what exactly did he get you??
And, good luck on that cake.
May 5th, 2007 at 12:34 pmchris- a fellow allergy sufferer here. have your husband go to babycakes in nyc before coming home– sugar free, gluten free, vegan cakes and cookies– and the are actually GOOD. in fact, they are AWESOME. and i have a major fat and sweet tooth. they were, in fact, voted BEST cupcake by new york mag last year– of all cupcakes– non-vegan, etc. It will make your birthday. you can check them out at http://www.babycakesnyc.com. Happy day.
May 5th, 2007 at 12:35 pmHappy Birthday!
May 5th, 2007 at 12:52 pmHappy Birthday. It’s my daughter’s birthday today (May 4th), too.
May 5th, 2007 at 1:09 pmHappy Birthday. And thanks for giving us the gift of a post on your birthday.
May 5th, 2007 at 1:17 pmHappy Birthday!! May your little ones learn to fold your laundry for you!
May 5th, 2007 at 2:09 pmHappy birthday, li’l buckaroo!
May 5th, 2007 at 4:07 pmHappy Birthday!!!
May 5th, 2007 at 4:40 pmDO tell! What did “he” get you?!?!
Happy Birthday, Chris!!!
May 5th, 2007 at 4:56 pmHappy Birthday!
May 5th, 2007 at 4:56 pmMaybe your cake will be one of the ones that the grocery stores decorate for show. You know the ones with the styrofoam cake all covered in pretty frosting. Birthday cakes are all about the frosting anyway!
Happy Birthday!
May 5th, 2007 at 5:54 pmHappy Birthday - love the emails, so what DID he get you?
May 5th, 2007 at 5:59 pmHappy birthday to you! And happy birthday to me, too!
Aren’t our husbands lucky to have such talented personal shoppers who always pick out the perfect gift for them to give their wives?
But seriously, could our birthdays and mother’s day be a little further apart? The joy needs to be spread out.
May 5th, 2007 at 6:00 pmHappy Birthday Chris! I hope they’ve showered you with love all day long!
May 5th, 2007 at 7:46 pmHappy Birthday, Chris! And hopefully bear-free…
May 5th, 2007 at 7:57 pmHappy Birthday!!!
May 5th, 2007 at 8:51 pmHappy Birthday!!!!!!!!
May 5th, 2007 at 9:06 pmHappy birthday to you! Lately it seems as though you live in a zoo!!! (bears)
Hope all the bears have gone home & you had some cake that was edible!
May 5th, 2007 at 11:14 pmDelurking to say we have the same birthday! Happy Birthday to both of us!
May 5th, 2007 at 11:35 pmgluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free cake. Hmm…sounds like a big, fat chocolate bar to me!
Many happy returns of the day!
May 6th, 2007 at 3:03 amLOL!!
Happy Birthday!
May 6th, 2007 at 4:25 amHappy Birthday! A friend of mine used to do this to her husband who always “forgot”. If I had done this, my return email would ask, “is it alive?”.
May 6th, 2007 at 7:17 amGreat idea for forgetful husbands on your birthday…and Mothers Day…and Christmas…and all other days he forgets!
Thanks so much!
And happy belated birthday!
May 6th, 2007 at 8:43 amGah! I realized I forgot to wish you a Happy Birthday yesterday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
May 6th, 2007 at 9:24 amHappy Birthday! And all the best…
(Is this the dreaded -0?)
May 6th, 2007 at 10:47 amHappy belated birthday to you…hope it was a great cake…and a great gift too.
My son is allergic to a whole slew of stuff too and we make “wacky cake”. I think it might be off for you because it uses flour, but you might check it out to see if it can be made gluten-free. The wacky cake is remarkably good…none of the kids at bake sales ever can tell the difference between the real cupcakes and the “Drewsafe” ones.
May 6th, 2007 at 10:50 amSo what did you get?
May 6th, 2007 at 12:33 pmThat is ingenious, and I’m totally stealing that for my bday. Happy Birthday!!
May 6th, 2007 at 12:45 pmI hate commenting when you already have 44 comments and I just feel like one of the sheep, but this is hilarious. I need to take notes. It’s only been 7 years with my hubby and I think I should give up and start buying my own as well!
May 6th, 2007 at 2:05 pmHave a Happy B-day.
Can’t wait to meet you at BlogHer.
I’m tagging along with Kathryn.
BAAAaaaaaa!
May 6th, 2007 at 2:05 pmHappy Birthday!!
May 6th, 2007 at 3:34 pmHappy Birthday, Chris! Whatever Rob got you, I’m sure it was fabulous! I’ve been making gluten free/dairy free (and even sometimes egg-free) cakes for a few years now; some of them tasted like cardboard, but they are now much better thanks to lots of trial and error. Hope your cake was de-lish!
May 6th, 2007 at 4:03 pmGood call. I started doing something similar when Dh bought me a PADDED TOILET SEAT for my birthday once.
Hope the cake was yummy!
Happy birthday
May 6th, 2007 at 5:39 pmI want to know too! Happy Birthday, you deserve a brilliant one!
May 6th, 2007 at 7:27 pmHappy hippy hoppy birthday! I hope it isn’t a barthday but is a wonderful non-bearthday!
Much love from the heat and hot.
May 6th, 2007 at 8:47 pmPadded toilet seats as gifts are considered grounds for divorce in all states except Kentucky, West Virginia, Alabama, Arkansas and Utah.
May 6th, 2007 at 10:24 pmHappy Birthday!!! I wish I would have known sooner.
I’m glad to hear you’re still GF. You still feeling better? I’m on Day 4. Yowza.
Anyway, hope you had a fantastic birthday!
May 6th, 2007 at 10:56 pmI’m late, but I hope your birthday was a good one. You share it with my Mom (that’s a good thing)
May 7th, 2007 at 8:04 am[...] for the add). Copyblogger is pretty helpful. A parenting blog that cracks me up: one of the best is her birthday present post. [...]
May 7th, 2007 at 8:25 amHappy (belated) Birthday, Chris!
May 7th, 2007 at 9:52 amOh, I’m late, but happy b-day anyway, I hope you had a great day!!!!!
May 7th, 2007 at 11:58 amHappy late birthday de Mayo!
May 7th, 2007 at 7:43 pmWhee! Happy birthday! Late.
May 7th, 2007 at 7:45 pmI’m sorry I missed the chance to wish you a happy bday in time! All these tauruses in my life…sheesh. What’s with you people?
