Paaarty! ::dances the "oh yeah, it's your birthday" dance::
Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiired.
Today we threw a surprise 30th birthday party for Steve. Or, well, "surprise" in that he didn't really know about it until Dustin brought him to the park where we had everything set up. It's a bit tricky to pop up and surprise someone when they can see the balloons and birthday sign from the park's drive way.
Anyway, spent the day at Mead Park, where I ate way too much (seems to be a running theme these last few days. I think I may have actually gained 5-10 pounds with all the junk I've been munching, and the two sweet rolls, two cup cakes, and one piece of confetti cake I had through out the day have not helped matters any. I feel like a pig), went on a "scavenger hunt" with Angel (we made it up as we went. We had to find a feather, an acorn, a pine cone, a pretty rock, and a snail shell - we found everything except the snail shell, but I *did* find a tiny stone with tiny fossil clam shells in it, so we counted that as our snail shell), played on this huge and really nice playground with cushy rubber "padding" underneath it, and all in all had a good time. Wanted to go swimming, but not everyone had a suit, and with this whole ear ache I've had these last few days, I didn't really want to risk getting either of them full of water. As it is, I'm going to have to be damned careful at swim lessons tomorrow.
Left the park around 6:45 is cause I was tired after entertaining Angel all afternoon, and since Mandy and I were there an hour or so earlier than everyone else setting up (well, *I* was an hour earlier - Mandy had left the house around 10:30 to start setting things up), I figured it was okay for me to leave an hour earlier than most everyone else.
Came back here and watched several episodes of Eureka that the DVR had recorded this afternoon before showering, and now I am crashing. Cause did I mention tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiired?
Thanks for the tips on the cell phone stuff. I will totally try replying to you all tomorrow night.
