So we are three days away from our due date and I'm starting to think that this little boy has his grandmother's sense of time... That woman is late for everything.
So to pass the time I have been trying to find ways to stay out of trouble, though that usually leads to me being very mischevious... insert french evil laugh...
Last week two of my girlfriends had their birthday, both on the 4th of November. Cassie turned 29 and Jamie turned 26 so I had to come up with something to make them feel special. So for Cassie I got the spare key to her car from her husband and went to her office while she unexpectedly toiled at her desk... This is what I did:
Thats right!!! I blew up enough balloons to fill the entire inside of her car. I also tied balloons filled with helium to the outside of the car. She had to pop half of the balloons just so that she could get into her car. Another one of our friends threw a surprise party for Cassie the following day but in order to pull that off everyone told her that they were going out of town for the weekend and wouldn't be able to celebrate with her, so she was extremely sad that her birthday was going to go by without a celebration. I hate that feeling and so I wanted to do a little something for her. She said that it made her day. I love that!
For my friend Jamie I printed out 26 adjectives that describe her to me, i.e. she is creative, smart, funny, a great mother, a lovely friend, etc. and I taped them to mini candy bars and stuffed them in 26 balloons, then I blew the balloons up and placed them in the stairwell of her apartment once her husband took her out for a birthday dinner. (we met them out for the dinner too) I then gave her the present that she asked for, a word a day calendar, and taped a needle to the envelope of her card. I explained that she would need the needle when she got home. So when she walked in the door she had 26 balloons to pop that had a little treat and a nice word about her in them. She loved it.
Saturday Travis and I went to our favorite fall festival here in Germany and ate cabbage rolls and collard greens. YUM! Afterwards we went to Cassie's surprise party which was a huge success. I thought that she was going to wet her pants! It was great. After that we came home, took a two hour nap until 1245 and then went to another friends house to watch the LSU vs AL game. Given we are Auburn fans we were excited to see LSU win, though the game was pretty much uneventful.
Sunday I napped, A LOT!!! Having gotten up at 1245 and watching football until 5am, I was pooped. Sunday afternoon Travis made a fire for me in the fire pit so that I could roast some marshmallows and have smores. I love the fall!!! Buddy hung out with us on the back patio for a few hours and just so you can see how spoiled this dog is I snapped a photo, which I'll leave you with. I hope you are all having a wonderful week.
