My office celebrated my birthday on Thursday since most of the staff don't work on Friday. The girls were talking about Barbie cakes a while back and I had mentioned that I've never had one before. The way birthdays work at the office is that the person who has a birthday before yours, brings a treat for your birthday. Michelle's birthday was Monday so she brought for my birthday, this has occurred for the past several years since we have both worked there a while. She usually brings me Better than sex cake because I love it, but this year she went all out and constructed me a Barbie/Better than sex cake. It was freaking awesome!
Thanks Michelle!
I sent a picture to Mike because I was so excited about this awesome Barbie/Better than sex cake, He says, "That's random, why did they shove a Barbie in your cake?" So for those of you who havent seen Barbie cakes before or dont understand them, the cake portion of this is suppose to be here dress. He still thought it was weird after my explanation, but I still love it!
Thursday night was spent with my Dad, my step mom was out of town so we went on a little Daddy-Daughter date. I cant recall the last time we were hanging out, just us, but it was a lot of fun! I meant to get a picture but forgot with all the catching up we were doing. My Dad is so cute and chivalrous, he opens and closes my car door and the door to the restaurant. I mention this to Mike, he use to do that for me, why do they ever stop I wonder? Never the less, my Dad and I had a fun dinner.
Friday (the actual real big day)
I worked my tail off at work. Fridays are busy, I have to pull back patients and take care of all the phone calls, I'm working two peoples jobs. Needless to say I was running! My mom surprised me at work with balloons and flowers and we hung out for a minute. Friday is our short day at work, we close at noon. I typically have to stay late to get all my work done though, and this Friday at about 2:10 I decided I'd had enough, everyone else was already gone, so I left too. All of my patients got what they needed of course but I have a lot of charting to do when I return to my desk Monday morning. No worries, Today is my Birthday, I thought to myself, I shouldn't have to slave away at work anymore! So I went home, only to find a bigger mess (this I will explain later in its own post, I'll just say it was poo, lots of dog poo and it was NOT fun). I finally got a quick lunch and decided to take a nap. Then I got up after tossing and turning (I don't know how people nap during the day, I struggle getting all the way asleep) went to shower and get ready. I didn't want some big grandiose birthday, I didnt really want to do anything at all really, but we were planning Tepanyaki for dinner (nice and low-key), which was not the hour-long wait for a table I was expecting. It was great actually, we got a table as soon as we walked in! woohoo!
Todd and Mom
Mom and me
I like to drink Sake when I come here, so we had a small Sake, which was about 2 shots for me, one for Todd, and one for Mike. I'm feeling pretty good, Mike tells me I need to slow down! So I leave it at my two shots, enjoy delicious dinner and fantastic company.
As we're leaving, Mike starts peer pressuring Todd and my Mom to come look at our deck, which is odd to me because there hasn't been any progress on it since the last time they looked at our deck, but whatever, they can come hang out.
My parents, Mike and I arrive home.. There is an odd truck parked on the street in front of our house but the neighbors keep odd company so I figured it belonged a visitor of theirs. We get to the door and Mike unlocks it then says something like "Ladies first" (since I had told him about how much I like doors open for me and that my dad does it).. so I walk in first (still not thinking any of this is weird) and there are a ton of people in my kitchen yelling "SURPRISE!"
Now, me being the crazy person I am, am thinking to myself "Damn! why didn't I clean my house today instead of taking an (unsuccessful) nap!" Oh well, there's nothing I can do about it now. I guess this is why Mike told me to slow down, so I could continue to drink with my friends, and not pee myself when I walked in the door.
Me and Ang. I don't have an abnormally big head but that tiara was way too small, and yes she made me wear it and the boa.
My little Mac and me
Mahjong is probably one of my favorite games ever! So we had to play a few games.
Then it was on to the Foosball..
Me and JJ
against Justin and Alex
Vivian was our cheerleader!
This is an example of one of the areas that I would've cleaned, can you see all the dust on the foosball table? Gross!
This is Mindy, she found herself some big boobies, as usual with bigger boobs, she's getting harassed!
Don't worry! We didn't let him drink it!
Huka anyone?
By this time of the night us girls were exhausted!
But the boys were carrying on with the decorations..
I've only ever had 1 other surprise birthday party in my life, when I was 16. I'm clueless, I don't expect it at all! It's probably easy for the planners of my surprise parties, because I don't catch on to anything!
I do have to say that this was probably the funnest birthday I've ever had! Thanks to Mike and my sister and whoever had a hand in planning and executing this, It was the best!
As Parker told me though, Thank goodness we only have birthdays once a year. We spent the day Saturday recovering on the couches in the front room watching movies feeling like poo. Thank goodness birthdays only come once a year!
