taylweaverApparently, I helped to plan my own surprise party. Rather convenient, don't you think?
So I guess AB did redeem that surprise party gift certificate after all - just not for herself. :) So that's how you schedule your own surprise party... make it someone else's.
I was almost surprised... Much as I was almost surprised by the gift - but then certain people saw me taking pictures with my disposable camera, and said it was time to give me my gift...
I have some great pictures on it already - AB smiling over her gift - that's why I "helped" them decide to give me my gift first - and M playing with AB's yummy niece... (whose first initial is also A, and I don't know her last name, so I will just call her the yummy niece) and some other random photos as well.
Yay for technology!
And AB only has to wait a week before she can use her new i-pod - which was about as much of a surprise as my camera - and if you don't know why she has to wait a week, just think Jewish calendar.
Anyway, the party was great. Lots of people making lots of pizzas - AB even made us fresh dough! - and two wonderfully home-made desserts - thank you to A's sister (who probably will never read this) and to R for that. And then we watched four episodes of Firefly - though there were only three of us left by the end... it was a wonderful party, and I felt like it lasted all day.
Thank you to all of you who chipped in for my gift (and for those of you who never got back to AB, no, it isn't too late to be a part of it). And thank you to those of you who tried to come and had prior commitments (happy anniversary to R and D! It was an anniversary party, right? Or was it a graduation party?) And thank you to all of you who tried so hard to get my family and friends out here. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside just thinking of how much effort you put into that.
Today left me with a very happy feeling. Plus, I will now save a ton of money on photo developing!
