So, last night, Karey pointed out that I have not written in the Blog for a loooong time! Well, ya, that is why I didn't start one for a long time...i get uninterested in writing about me and my somewhat boring adventures. (Well they are boring to me at least...you know, been there done that;) So let's start with Last Tuesday...Nikki's Birthday!
The night before I was complaining to Nikki that she had an easier time getting a birthday gift for me because all she had to do was pay for my driving but I am having a hard time because I have no idea what she wants. So she told me, Barb, I want the Family Stone movie. One of the things I love most about birthdays/Christmas...basically anytime you get gifts, is the surprise aspect. I had already bought Nikki a one day pass to Playland (So if anyone wants to go with Nikki to Playland, let me know because I can get you a great deal through my work) so there was one surprise for Nikki waiting for her on her Birthday morning. Yay!! After work, I went to the video store and got her the movie she wanted and also got free Lindt chocolates with the purchase. She can't eat chocolate nor sugar so I didn't feel the least bit guilty in eating them all myself, I thought about sharing with Amy but there was only three in the package...swiss chocolate and restraint, are not partners I'll have you know. Okay back to the story, I bought the movie and as I got home I thought, how am I going to present this so that she will be surprised? So I kept the movie wrapped up in the bag and put it on the TV and told her that i rented a movie for us to watch before Veronica Mars & Gilmore Girls (Season Finales...these are TOP Priority). She asked me what movie I rented and I said, the one with Owen Wilson but I can't remember the name because I have been trying to repress this desire to watch it. So, she says, Wedding Crashers? and I said Ya! She was surprised that I would rent that movie and that there is a bit of a bad part in there but she kind of wants to see it too. I walked over to where the video was and said, Oh, I didn't even look at the rating and walked over and sat down on the couch, as Nikki was watching me I pulled the movie out of the bag and said, "Hey, this isn't Owen Wilson, this is Luke Wilson, silly me." She then saw that I was holding "The Family Stone" DVD in my hand and was soo surprised and happy. How fun!! I love surprises and being the one that gives them. That night we ordered Chinese Food, Ang came over and we all watched the movie together...it's really good and Luke Wilson = hot. Then afterwards, Nikki and I watched the Season Finales of Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars and all I can say is "What!!!????" The Season Openers are soo far away!! so that was Nikki's Birthday low key and good, just as she wanted it. Good Times!
