Tuesday 5/10, Went home after work where B was going to meet me cause of Uncle Chip's surprise birthday party. He beat me there and let himself in and Pat was home, curses, and he just kind of looked at me...so weird. So I got ready in a jiffy and we went to Mom's. I called AL when I got there cause she wanted to see me before she left on Wed. and to also meet B. So she got there and we chatted and she handed out birthday and Christmas presents, which was sweet, and then her, B and I just talked. Then when it was getting close to time to leave, Mom finally came home and we took off cause we were supposed to be at Daniel's Broiler by 7:00. So we raced over and went up to the Cascade III room and just schmoozed, ate appetizers, and knocked back some of the bubbly. Met Andy Wiedeman's aunt...random. So then we got the signal that Monique and Chip were coming so we all hid in a corner and yelled "SURPRISE!" when he walked in, and boy, was he surprised...it was pretty funny. Mom had said earlier in the evening that she was going to have to leave by 8:45 and it was getting late. Finally we sat down and were looking over the pre-selected menu, which I was at that point guessing that we didn't have to pay, and finally everyone else sat and we got to order. Mom and Dad had to leave right after the salad so I was going to catch a ride with Monique and Chip, and bring Mom and Dad their dinners. Then dinner came and it was very good, I got the filet, with mashed potatos and broccoli. Yum. Then for dessert there were these big trays with cheesecake, chocolate torte, creme brulee, and enormous chocolate dipped strawberries injected with Grand Mariner. B and I shared part of a cheesecake and he braved a strawberry but had liquor drizzling down his arm when he bit into it. So then it was like 10, so I asked Dane if he was going to be leaving anytime soon, and he was like "Hell yeah, I'm trying to get out of here" so he said he would drive B and I to Mom's. When he left he was like "My mom is all kinds of drunk" it was funny. Then some random guy took us on a hike to the parking lot, but if they just would have listened to B and me, we would have saved 10 minutes. Then we had the ride of our lives in Dane's car, Christ, we were going like 65 down Bellevue Way and like 85 on the freeway. B was like, it's better not to look at the road cause you don't want to be tense when you crash...but we made it so I was very thankful. Dropped off the food at Mom's and went home to bed. Slept like shit cause of the fucking moronic people down the way being loud at like 3:00 in the morning, dipshits. I just had a really bad night of sleep, so I might go home and take a nap, but I also need to take that stuff back to Nordstrom Rack...and see Grandma, but I don't know if that's going to happen tonight. I'm tired.

Monday 5/9, I don't think I did anything...just went home and laid around...I think...can't really remember. I made rice for dinner, I remember that. Pat came home late I think. Peggy told me that on Friday we're going to take a half-day and also take Monday off, yay! Very excited!
