Happy Birthday Mat! Nov 30th | filed in: Random Mutterings

Is it just me, or does "NINE YEAR OLD" sound SO "Big Kid"?

Today Mat turned NINE!!

I had a very hard time keeping his gift a secret because I WAS SO DARN excited about it!

I've been working a lot with Ross of [link]http://www.flosites.com=FLOSITES[/link] lately.
Flosites is sponsoring me at WPPI in Vegas next year, they created this snazzy new blog of mine,
and we're working on a few other ventures together as well.

Ross is in Europe and has family in the UK, and Mat is a HUGE Premiership Leauge fan,
ESPECIALLY [link]http://www.chelseafc.com/xxchelsea180706/index.html#/page/Homepage=CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB[/link].
His favorite player is [link]http://www.chelseafc.com/xxchelsea180706/index.html#/page/ThePlayers=Frank Lampard, #8[/link] He's (Mat's number on his soccer club, a fast midfielder, just like Mr. Lampard).

Chelsea FC has an online store, but the US store is pathetic, and the UK store won't ship to Yanks.

Ross offered to order a megaload of Chelsea gear for Mat and ship it over here in time for his birthday!!
The "parcel" (as Ross calls it) arrived last week, and I've been VERY GOOD at keeping it a secret until this morning!

Check out the video of Mat getting his suprise gift, and THANK YOU ROSS!!! You made Mat's birthday one he'll never forget!!



The Lampard poster we ordered is out of stock till after Christmas (bummer!), so he has to wait for that, but he doesn't mind!!

PS: I have a blog game to play, so tune in tomorrow!
I can't post it today because I won't be here to post the winner -- I'll be at the Corvette Diner for Mat's party!
