birthday bashes

On Thursday last week I celebrated my 30th birthday. To my surprise and amusement, Robyn had decorated my cubicle so that everyone walking by knew it was my birthday and how old I was turning. :-) She's such a sweetie! We went out for lunch with some coworkers to celebrate. That night was pretty quiet. I had dinner with my parents then rushed to the mall to get my drivers license renewed. My 5 years was up and it was time for another picture. Thank goodness the Expressways are open till 8pm - otherwise it would have been the WestCoast Express for me the next day. I still have a paper interim license - waiting for the real card to be mailed out.

On Friday the celebrations continue. Robyn organized a dinner/drinking affair down at the Keg downtown. I had a delicious meal and drank way too much. Each of my coworkers bought me a drink. I'm a cheap drunk so just sniffing liquour gets me all red and blotchy. :-) Needless to say I wasn't able to drive home and had to call Chicky to my rescue. By that time I had emptied my tummy into the toilet and was feeling much better. We went back to Chicky's place where I filled up on some delicious KFC and watched this strange Japanese movie (Shinobi). I wasn't able to stay up for the second movie and crashed till the next morning.

Saturday was the big bbq. Chicky and I got up as early as I could manage (luckily there wasn't a hangover involved). Went out to Costco and filled up on groceries. I went home, cleaned the house and prepared some food for the guests. It was so nice seeing everyone as I missed the girls. Haven't seen you guys in such a long time! The hockey game was on and everyone seemed to have a good time mingling and munching on food. Nyah, Logan, Katarina and Joshua came to the party as well. They were the big hits! It was fun BBQing and I'm hoping to do more of it when the weather gets better. I've posted some of the pictures to my album.
