Apple's Birthday Shenanigans Day 2 & 3

Saturday....

Supa and I got up, got ready, left the kids to play their video games and went to the flea market.  The movie guy wasn't there.  POO!  Then we rode around our neighborhood for a while looking for a good garage sale or two.  There weren't any!  WTF?!  So we decided to go back home. 

The kids wanted to chill and be lazy yes, Supa is included in "kids" but I told them that we needed to get some things done and then we could be lazy: 

11:19 AM

Supa and I finally took the 52 inch TV out of our bedroom.  It quit working on us months ago but we really didn't know what to do with it.  (You can't just throw that big ass thing in the herbie curbie.)  We rolled the TV outside and set it on the side of the road by the ditch. 

The kids folded up the laundry and cleaned their rooms and then I sent them outside to play.  It was beautiful out and they can't lay around and be lazy all day. 

Supa gave Copper a bath in Neon's bathtub (thank God because he smelled terrible!). 

Here is Copper.  Very impatiently waiting for his fur to dry so he can go outside & play with the kids. 

I can't believe how big he is already!!  He will be ONE next month.  ;)  He's such a good pup!!

Meanwhile, I gave Odie a bath in the kitchen sink :)

Oops!  I didn't mean to cut off the top of his little head!!  LOL

Poor little fella!  He was mega annoyed with me.

And why does Odie always look like the devil dog with those red eyes?? Every single picture I take of him makes him look possessed!  LOL!

They both did a great job taking their baths.  Supa cut their nails too.  Odie, I have to hold out in mid-air so he doesn't flail his little legs.  Copper just lays down like a little goof ball and licks Supa to death until he's finished getting his trimmed.  Haha!!  He is a really good listener and has no problems usually following commands.  Drama with one and mostly perfect behavior with the other.  Gah!  LOL.

Supa and I did some other house chores together.  He scrubbed a few spots on the carpet for me and did a few other deep cleaning jobs that I have been putting off. 

Then it was PJ time!!  I put my PJ's on and took the leftover peanuts (from Roadhouse) out on the front porch so I wouldn't make a mess with the peanut trash in my nice clean house to sit, eat my peanuts and watch Supa, Dazzle and Neon play basketball.  What a fun time they had whooping on their Dad.  Haha!  They had a blast. 

After basketball, all the stinky, sweaty people took showers and I waited for them on the couch ;)  The kids decided since their Dad was home miracle that they should take advantage of the time together and watch Thor.  I promptly fell asleep.  Nap time!!

When Lolly text me to say that her and Camo Man were on their way it was time to get up and wash the stink off of myself.  I got showered, dressed and was blow drying my hair when they showed up.  Lolly promptly came in the bathroom to talk to me while I finished my hair and makeup.  Before we knew it, Jade arrived, loaded down with bags and boxes wait,  are we celebrating a birthday or something?!.  Nearly was next in the door.  By the time I made it into the living room, R.J.A.T.W was already sitting on the couch with the men.  Time for the night to begin!!

We hung out with the men for a few minutes and then it was out the door to dinner we went!!  Since I had been out to eat twice the day before, I wanted something different.  We decided to try a Japanese steakhouse.  YUM!  Lolly and Jade had never been before but I already knew it was going to be amazing!!  I love Japanese!

I always drive when we go out.  It might be a control thing or it might be because I like to drive BOTH.  Either way, it was my bday and I didn't want to drive so I special requested that Nearly drive us (I like her car) and I got birthday shotgun.  I was the designated DJ on the way to the restaurant (just like I like to be).  We get on the interstate and it starts pouring down rain.  Like a fucking hurricane or monsoon.  We are going about 40 MPH (the speed limit is 70 MPH!) and can't see shit (there are no cars on the road anyhow because they all pulled over) when it starts hailing!!  Hailing so bad that Nearly was worried about her windshield getting cracked!  WTF?!   I was so glad I wasn't driving.  We were all freaked out but we didn't panic and we made it off the interstate without dying!  WOOT!

We decided to go to Miyabi's and see what was shakin'.  I think Nearly has been there before but the other 3 of us had not.  Perfect.  Somewhere new!  (It stopped raining and hailing as soon as we got off the interstate)


It looked pretty promising from the outside.

We go inside and Nearly, the restaurant guru (She was a waitress at Carolina Wings for like a million years - best damn waitress I've ever seen) goes straight to the desk to get us a table.  The other 3 of us are just chilllin'.  I look up and I'm like, "Uh, what?  Are we at the planetarium?" more like the Twilight Zone  ! The ceiling looked like a really pretty night time sky.  There were tons of stars and such a pretty blue color.


Use your imagination.  This is the pic I took of the ceiling.  That thing in the middle is a "Happy Valentine's Day"  balloon that I'm assuming they couldn't get down because the damn ceiling is so high up.  Get a fucking ladder!  It's the end of March already!!!

Anyhow, Nearly turns around and says, "They are so busy, it's reservations only."  "Okay, English please.  WTF does that mean?!  That we can't eat here??"  Nope, with no reservation, we sure couldn't!  FML!

Out the door we went (and now that it was unattainable, I told Supa I am making reservations because we HAVE to eat there, LOL).  We decided to go check out another Japanese place down the road.  On our way there, we see:

A birthday rainbow!!  :)



I like how the entire photo is ugly.  Just focus on the fucking rainbow ;)

We arrived at the next restaurant and there was no wait.  (On a Saturday night.  I was slightly worried but we went ahead and got a table.)

Nearly said she had eaten there before and that their food was wonderful so I was game. 

We laughed so much and ate tons.  We just had a great time.  I enjoyed myself and my three best friends so very much.  What fabulous food and company!  We had edamame, little dumplings with sauce, chicken, shrimp, rice, veggies, sushi....We had enough food for days.  LOL.  I am so pissed at myself!!  I didn't take any pictures of our food!!!  I guess I was so excited, I just forgot!!  I did take a picture of our leftovers!

Yep, we stole the white sauce containers because they were SO cool!!  These were the leftover veggies and sushi I was taking home to Supa. 



Lolly's leftover veggies, chicken and rice.  She took those home for Camo Man. (She forgot her leftovers in my fridge and Supa and I sure ate them on Sunday!  LOL!) 

We were so stuffed and had the best time!  Dinner, win!!!

We went back home to the men (and kids) and it was time for more fun!!  Dazzle and Neon kissed us goodnight to go read in their beds (and go to sleep) and we cranked up the party a notch with a few shots in the kitchen.  YUM! 

It was time to open presents.  My friends are so great.  I got a bunch of cool stuff.  Shoes, a beautiful, butterfly photo album, two hoodies (because you know I live in them), a promise of a day out of fun, and some other stuff that was awesome!  I loved everything!  (I forbid Supa from buying me anything because I'm saving our money for our vacation next month.  He paid for my underwear that we got on Friday at least!  Heehee)

R.J.A.T.W got me something really special:

It is a hand painted collectible butterfly ornament.  I love it!  I didn't even know they made those!!

After the birthday girl got her favorite drink made (Vodka, Hawaiian punch, Sprite) it was time to play Bingo!!  Lolly, Jade, R.J.A.T.W, Nearly and myself (Camo Man played some but he was hanging out on the couch with Supa who was playing video games) played round after round.  Each round cost you $1.00 and if you wanted to buy extra cards, you better get out your $$!

Drink, check!  iPod for music, check!  Bingo stuff, check!  Tootsie Roll container full of pennies to use as extra chips, check!

We had an absolute blast!  Everyone was laughing, singing and barely handling the suspense of who was going to call Bingo!!!  Everyone won a few times I think.  Jade was pretty unlucky but you win some you lose some...

Bingo hands!!  :)  Not to be confused with Jazz hands!



Even Copper Whopper wanted to get in on the Bingo action!!

Jade got me a cheesecake for my birthday dessert and it sure looked yummy!  Everyone had a piece while playing Bingo.   I just couldn't eat any because I was still so full from dinner and drinks!  I did have a few bites off of my friends plates :) Just a taste!

Oh, trust, I ate some Sunday morning!



I was doing my best to make sure this belonged to me as often as possible!

In the long run, I made about $7.  I kept winning but I also kept betting.  LOL!  It was a great time.  I think R.J.A.T.W won everyone's money.  He was up at least $15 by the end.

After many, many rounds of Bingo and an absurd amount of drinks on my part (I didn't have to drive anywhere!!) oh and PS, it was my birthday and I'll get drunk if I want to!  it was 2 AM!  Holy, cow!  How did that happen!  It was time for everyone to go home so I could pass out!  Haha!!

I had the best birthday.  I will forever remember my 31st birthday and the friends that made it so awesome!  I love you guys!!

Sunday............

The kids let us sleep until 9AM.  That was really sleeping in on our part.  I got up and felt pretty fine.  For 4 shots and 6 drinks, that's a drunken win!  I wasn't hungover but I did have the fucking **DAD'S. 

We got up, had breakfast with the kids, cleaned up a tad from the night before (not a huge mess because my girls would never leave me with that), took showers and decided to run to the flea market again to catch the movie guy (fucking hopefully) and run by the coupon dumpster.

We did find the movie guy (about damn time) and he didn't have one thing I wanted to buy!  SUCK!  I did get a movie for Jade that she wanted me to grab if he had it.  Score on that at least.  Then we ran by the dumpster.  There were some coupons but not tons.  We went to Jade's house to drop off the DVD and half of the coupons.  Supa decided that he would cook us dinner so we ran to Bilo to get pork chops and dinner rolls.  It was what a birthday girl requested!  :)  By then it was pretty much lunch time so we went home, picked up Dazzle and Neon and took them to IHOP for lunch.  Neon screamed his face off in pure happiness because he LOVES IHOP and we hadn't been there in a while. 

I tried to eat my food but I ended up in the bathroom for a while because of the fucking **DAD'S!!  Damnit, intestines!  Cooperate!!

We went back home and just hung out.  Supa and I were out on the back porch when Dazzle came outside and said, "Did one of you just ring the doorbell??  NO?  Then there is someone at the front door."  Oh hell.  I was in my damn PJ's!  Supa went to see who it was.

3:07 PM

It was two men that wanted to know if they could have the TV that was on the side of the road.  LOL!  Supa said they sure could have it and thank you for taking it!  :)  I told him it was only a matter of time before someone came to get it.  They will probably fix it for cheap and resell it.  In the mean time, when we get back from vacation, I'll be buying a nice, new TV for our bedroom and a piece of furniture to set it on.  Good ridden old crappy TV!  :)

We hung out, watched TV together and rested.  Supa cooked us dinner and it was so yummy!! 

I had the Sunday blues a little bit because I wasn't looking forward to Monday morning....

I had a wonderful birthday.  It was so fun and much more celebrating then a person could have asked for.  Thank you everyone for making my birthday so special!  Here's to many more fun times in the future!!

With great love and thanks,

Apple
