"my pre-birthday"
Saturday, September 02, 2006 Filed in: my life
today was not my
birthday (though it is coming up soon). no... today
was just an ordinary Friday. i had a dentist appt.
this morning... some meetings this afternoon...
nothing too special. until "it" happened. that one
word.
"SURPRISE!!!!!"
yeah... i thought i was just going up to my parents house for dinner with the fam and some friends.... but there were like 50 people there instead and they were all there for one purpose... free food. oh yeah... and celebrating my birthday.
now, i've never really had a suprise party like that though i've always wanted one. when i graduated from high school, my parents threw me a surprise grad party with like 120 people at a really nice place... but somebody told me about it ahead of time and the surprise was ruined. (i still have not forgiven her for that.) anyway, because of that... i've always wondered how i would really respond.
apparently, dumbstruck is the word to be used. i think i stood there like a complete moron for about five minutes cuz i was freakin' in shock. but it was awesome.
i love the show "Scrubs" and so Stacy (my awesome, party-planning girlfriend) planned a "Scrubs" themed party complete with an IV hanging from a chandlier, cups of pills (Smarties) everywhere, a huge picture of the cast of "Scrubs" with my face replacing Zach Braff's (hilarious), games of "Operation" lying about (watching my dad try and play when he thought nobody was looking was quite entertaining), and plastic hospital urinals filled with apple juice.
plus, a ton of my friends and family were there and it was pretty much perfect. so, thanks to everyone who came and helped plan and/or decorate for my party. thanks to Stacy and Jen and my fam for putting the thing on for me. thanks to Brittany and Maggie (Margaret) for staying up until 1:30 watching "Scrubs" on DVD with Stacy and me and just hanging out. and thanks to all the losers who were invited but didn't come. (i'll expect your excuses in writing by Tuesday morning and they'd better be damned good.)
anyway, i have great friends and family. thank you all. and if you see me walking around, drinking out of a plastic hospital urinal that looks like it's filled with pee... just laugh. life is good.
oh... and if you weren't invited... it's not my fault.
