My 40th Birthday!
Hehehe I had the Best Birthday EVER! ^__^
Ok, so I'm forty now. And what's the best way to celebrate being forty? BY NOT ACTING LIKE IT! ^___^ Hehe yeah the last thing I am ever is mature. Only when I need to be.
So,
jtigerclaw has been scheming, and planning and scheming and being all Mr. SecretMcSneakyPants. He was creating something for me on the Mac, but unfortunately it cannot be finished at this time. I do know what it is however and that in itself is something amazing! He was making a season boxset of one of my favorite shows on dvd for me. :) But he needed some software that right now is too pricey.
However, that did Not take away from the wonderfulness he had planned! Remember how I had mentioned that the only clue he gave me was that my birthday was going to be in layers? He wasn't kidding!
hheheh Ok so..layer one..
the 16th, I woke up late, came into the sewing room and got online. Jt was already up and bustling about. He asked me to stay in here for about an hour. o,O ooooKay. I did. Begrudgingly. Because it was longer than that and I was hungry! Its ok though. :) Because he then came in a little while later, and blindfolded me. Led me out to the dining room where his mom, stepdad, Tanya [his sister] and her three wonderful girls [Emma, she's the youngest at 6, Cameron, I believe shes 10 and Makayla, she's 14] were there wishing me a happy birthday ^___^
The gifts were wonderful! Some lovely lavender soap, one of my favorite scents, a very pretty teal shirt, Tayna made me this Beautiful Victorian type journal, of which I have already made an entry in. And Sonya [Jt's mom and someone who has become a dear friend to me] made me this beautiful card. [piccies will be up in an album] We had cake that was made that morning [oh god it was Yummy!] and we played games!
Of course it rained >,< so I didn't get to see the awesome decorations Jt put up outside. But we didn't let the rain stop us! We had a scavenger hunt In the rain^^ Then after that we played Red Light Green Light. It was muddy messy. Where Jt would squirt us with the hose if we moved on red. ^^ I decided to become a Boston driver, cut across the lanes to get to him and steal the hose ^___^
After we all cleaned up we then played Pin the Tail on the Kitty. o,O I pinned my tail under the poor kittie's eye. I think Makayla won that one.
Then came the most stubborn pinata Ever! I beat the hell out of that thing and it wouldn't break. The string broke more! I finally did beat it into submission though, and the girls got a bunch of yummy candy ^^
After that I was ready to pass out! We all said our goodbyes and well I pretty much Did pass out afterwards. Well no....not yet..
Jt and I went to Best Buy to see if he could get the software. He couldn't. But when we left the store? We were met with the most beautiful sunset ever. So we pulled up in another parking spot and just watch the sunset. It was a lovely way to end an awesome evening!
Layer Two.
Now the next day was officially my birthday and to be honest? I Did. Nothing. Nupe not a thing. Ok I puttered online and whatnot. But Jt kept me in here all day because he was planning. Again. I could have gone to bed at my usual time. But I thought he'd be done with his epic planning. Silly me to think that ^^ Nupe. it took him 13 hours. But he Did finish it!
Layer Three.
Now it's 6am the day after my birthday. I've not slept yet. I Want to sleep, but I'm too excited as well. And my "patience" paid off. He comes in and puts a note in front of me. "Lets go for a drive" So in the car I went, and from there began a long series of clues, treasure and fun. Even though I was exhausted. He set up this elaborate treasure hunt in the style of a Zelda Video game!
He got So clever that...one of the clues said "look closer at the pics" which was clues themselves on the camera. But to see the New clues, I had to Zoom In and move the picture around! Because the cam's battery icon Hid the second part of the clues of each picture! That to me was Epic!
I even had to play the recorder a couple of times for some of the clues. Really it was so much fun. and the map! Omg, he made a map of the house and outside almost perfect! [no wonder it all took so long!]
In the end, I won my treasures. Which was Arriaty the movie, Regular Show, and the grand treasure ^^
Hoisted WAYYYYY high up in the tree dangling above me....was a package...I knew it was there because the last clue that i had to actually Dig up, the little note said...Look Up. And I did and There it was!
I sawed down the package, and opened it. I squeeed!
Inside was 12 pairs of cute colorful Toe Socks! Which I happen to have a wicked affinity for ^^
So that was my wonderful layered birthday. I have pictures to upload and share. ^__^ Feel free to comment on the weirdness that is me in these photos ^_^
And thank you all for your birthday wishes. Even though you weren't here physically, you were here in spirit. Thank you so much!
