First off, thank you to everyone that sent bday wishes via my blog, and/or email. I really appreciate it. I figured it would be better if I thanked everyone in a post instead of the comments. Anyway, just a few remarks on the comments.
- Rach, well, you actually have big thighs, and I did try to hook up with you already, like 8 or so years ago and you shot me down. Remember? Eh, your loss. :)
- Kat, umm, my family is pretty weird. They are all obsessed with setting me up with someone. Yet they say there's no pressure for me to get hitched. Go figure. LOL.
- Derek, I hope you drank enough beer for both of us. I can't believe I threw a party, put out some alcohol, and all I had were 2 glasses of wine. WTF?
Okay, back to the story at hand. Had the party last night. I was pleasantly surprised that it was a success. I usually dont have good feelings about get togethers that I throw. Especially since I only invited a few people, and knew that those people were expecting some huge celebration, only to be disappointed cause their host didnt have that many friends. Well, last night was weird. Most of the people I invited cancelled out last minute. All with their own excuses. The important ones, my old coworkers and good friends all showed up, as they always do. You always know who you can count on in life, and those guys are it, so much love to you guys who took time out from your families to celebrate with me. I appreciate it.
Then, CG#1 and her friends all started showing up. Dont get me wrong, I didnt mind at all since my philosophy is the more the merrier. It started Sat night when she and I went grocery shopping. We ran in to her friend at the store, who we invited. She called last night and said she had a few friends over, so they came along too. Then, CG#2 had some more people that wanted to come, so they showed up. I can't remember how many people were in my apt, but it was definitely more than the 6-8 I estimated. It turned out great. Everyone had a great time, and for the first time in a very long time, I enjoyed my birthday. I guess I really have her to thank, since it was her idea for me to have that party. I gotta call her today and thank her again. Especially for cooking. She cooked a mean pasta. From scratch. That's all everyone raved about. It was damn good. My steaks didnt turn out so well, but at least I did something.
I'm pretty beat today. The last person didnt leave until midnight, then I cleaned up a little. Couldnt be late to work today, since there are some issues going on here with who works for who, so I figured it would be in my best interest to show up on time. Even though i'm entitled to some time off. Go figure. Well, time to go to lunch. I'll post more later.
In that they were not in that

Kids ask the darndest things dont they Rach? That's just funny. He might have been asking that since you told him when you guys saw me that I was the first person to carry him when he was born.

Why did you have to go and announce to the whole world that I have big thighs???? Oh yeah, Alec says hi. He also asked me if you were his dad. Apparently ever since we met you up at the beach last year he's thought you were his dad this whole time.

Sorry to disappoint you Derek. It was homemade wine. Sounds like you had fun with your drinking. Karaoke would have been a blast, but a couple of of my american friends said if the Karaoke machine came out, they would leave. LOL.
Hey Diana! Long time no talk. Thanks. I can't believe that actually happened to you. I dont know if someone played an april fools joke on me like that, but it was something similar. I think Owens or SGT Arbello did it just to piss me off. Ah, the good ol' days. :)

Happy Belated Birthday! I ALWAYS think of you on April 1st because I like to think about all the great ideas for jokes to play on you. Like calling you at 4:30am saying that an alert has been called and you have to report for formation. Of course, the real thing happened to me one year and I was forced to clean my weapon for 3 hours at 6:30am....
Happy Birthday! I'm glad you had a good one!
