Seriously, that was the best costume.I am thankful it is a new month. October was long, stressful, and full of anxiety. I hope November is better.
Yesterday was Collin's 27th birthday. I had a blast!! I made him this awesome skull and crossbones birthday cake (this can be seen in the Fall 2009 album on Myspace and Facebook), and I got him exactly what he wanted for his birthday (that was within reason, otherwise he would have got $1,500 for a new PC). I pre-ordered Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, a game he has been drooling over for months it seems. It comes out on the tenth of this month. I had loads of fun wrapping his present *evil laugh* (in case you haven't seen the photos). I put the pre-order confirmation in an envelope; placed it inside of a really sweet card; place the card in the box from his cake mix; wrapped the cake mix box with tissue paper and clear packing tape (like sealed it shut); put that box inside another box with a book for weight; sealed that box with tape and wrapped it in tissue paper; placed that box in a box with two cans of chili (more weight); taped the box and wrapped it before placing it inside yet another box, which was subsequently taped shut and wrapped as well; put this box in a big box with four cans of tomatoes and a sheet and a bunch of shredded tissue paper; finally, I sealed the big box, wrapped it with black wrapping paper, and put some ribbon on it. Oh, it was devious. Payback's a bitch. He did the same thing to me the first Christmas we were together.... And I waited all this time... It's diabolical I know! But when he finally got ALL of it open, and saw his gift, the expression on his face was priceless. I totally got a picture of it.
Another, slightly diabolical birthday gag I pulled on him, was when he got home I told him I had made him this awesome cake, but being the clutz that I am, I dropped it and the chunks in the pan were all I could salvage. He took it very well. He changed out of his work clothes, and while he was doing that I got his uber awesome cake out of the laundry room. He LOVED it.
It was a very good day.
I am happy to say it has been over a week and I have not come down with H1N1, so I am hoping that means I am in the clear. Jenn and Amanda are doing fine as well.
Ugh, I hate the time change... It always throws me off for about a week or so... I almost started dinner at 4pm because it felt like it was almost dinner time.
Speaking of, dinner smells so freaking good... I am making meatloaf, rice, corn, and an improvised gravy. What is an improvised gravy you ask? Well, it's when you realize you want gravy with dinner but there will be no meat juices (which sound extremely dirty anyways), and you don't have one of the easy cheat packets, so you make it from scratch (which I have become really good at doing).
