With lots of drinks, great friends, karaoke, dancing, amazing shoes, hocky player punching/slapping, girlfriend insulting, ridiculous jokes, getting cut off and one HILARIOUS b-day girl, what more could we ask for in a night on the town!! Happy Birthday Tobyn, it was a blast! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand the above photo makes me appear ridiculously short. Or maybe I just am that short? You two are going to give me a complex! : )

Last thursday, I woke up twenty-five, ran down the stairs (I was a tad late getting out of bed) and was going almost fast enough to miss the rectangular package wrapped in muppets wrapping paper on the dining room table: almost, but not quite. : )
I asked Carl who it was from and he shrugged his shoulders.
I asked Carl if I could shake it and he said, “No!”
I asked Carl if I should open the card first (even though I really really wanted to know what was in the dang box!) and he said I could open whichever I wanted first . . .
IT WAS A LAPTOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I GOT A LAPTOP FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE LAPTOP WE WEREN’T GOING TO GET UNTIL AFTER WE WERE MARRIED BECAUSE WE COULDN”T AFFORD IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS MINE MINE MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : )
Hmmm, odd, the reason I couldn’t have one was because we couldn’t afford it . . . that’s when I opened the card and discovered that Katie, Katy, Julie and Sara–my fabulous four, had all pitched in with Carl so I could have my long-coveted laptop. That might have been when I started crying, possibly, if I were the type of girl to cry which I’m not, so . . . whatever.
What an incredible gift. What incredible friends. What more could a girl ask for on her birthday? I love you all so much and I don’t know what else to say about how much I appreciate my present. : )

In an hour and a half I’ll be twenty five. Birthdays always make me think about my life and where I am and where I was hoping to be, how my plans have changed, how I have changed and how I have stayed the same, what I want, what I only want to want and what I’m pretty sure I shouldn’t want at all. Right now, I’m supposed to be packing for our trip this weekend, but after cleaning the kitchen, refilling the dog food container and tidying the dining room, I managed to convince myself I could put it off until tomorrow.
Instead of packing, I’ve decided to write. If you know your own way to my poetry, that’s where I’ll be. : )

Carl’s B-Day!!!!! This year he will be 27 on the 27th! And after last year (as seen below) I’m sure its going to be a great time. : )
I’m not sure of the entire plan yet, but I know that Saturday night we’re going out on the town and Sunday we’re going to a Deschutes brewery tasting/food pairing at Four Daughters. All throughout the weekend I have promised him I will watch numerous episodes from Star Trek both Voyager and The Next Generation. I tell him its because I love him so much that I make such sacrifices . . . but secretly I actually enjoy cuddling up on the couch with him and watching a few episodes. So I think that’s the plan and I have no doubt there will be many entertaining pics to post before the weekend is through. : )
A Picture Says . . .
