After that, I had lunch at my favorite place... Chipotle, and had my famous 3 tacos. Two is not enough and 4 is just too many, 3 is just right. I went back to Todd's and met up with Andy who had been out doing a ride with Steve and Micki that morning. I took a nap and he was busy finishing the touches to my birthday surprise.
We decided to go to Oregano's for dinner... I love that place too! We dropped by Sticki's to pick up Micki, so she could wait with me and get our name on the list early. Andy stayed back with Steve, I thought it was so Steve didn't have to drive by himself, but it turns out they were busy doing stuff on my surprise.
Once at Oregano's, my friends started showing up. It was great to see everyone. Dave and Lisa, "Nealon", Lisa Potter and her new squeeze, Tiffany. Jon Milliken his wife Sarah, and Todd came with is new girl Ellie, and of course Sticki!!!! We get seated and Steve and Andy are not there yet... Micki an I are looking at each other like what the heck. I call and they say they are finally on their way. I ask what they were doing and why they were late? They said, "playing Wii." I said seriously... and Steve chimes in with yah... Andy kept beating me so I had to keep playing until I won. Sounds like those two.
Can you tell... I was telling jokes and making people laugh.. although Nealon was so kind to say, that she was not laughing at the jokes but at me, but hey, I don't care. I was having a great time!
Afterwards we went to Sticki's to play some games. We get there and it turns out the Wii controllers are dead, so we play Mad Gab... Todd is the king of Mad Gab and the game was over within 15 minutes! CRAZY mad gabber!
By this time my belly is really starting to hurt and I can hardly stand up straight. We decided to call it a night.... as we get into the kitchen to leave Andy asks if I was just going to leave that here... I look over and there is a pretty blue Single Speed Bike for me! Yeah.... it was really pretty and it turns out that everyone had a part in the making of the bike. And there was a lot of stress that went into getting all of the parts here too. I would like to say thank you to all the people that helped... it is lovely and I love it.
Steve got the frame from work, Todd had it powder coated and Micki put the extra special touches on it. It even has a name "Sweetness". Andy was the master mind behind the whole thing... and it turns out that Steve and Andy were not playing Wii they were still assembling the bike and that is why they were late! They fooled me!
The next day we were supposed to go riding, but I called Micki when I got up and said I really didn't feel like it. I was not sick, I was just tired and Andy was still sleeping as well. So we went to breakfast with Todd and then hung out... I took a nap, then rented some movies had some dinner and went to bed. It was a nice relaxing day.
I really had a great time with my good friends, I am grateful I have them! It was a wonderful birthday and I can't wait until next year to do it all over again!
Thank you everyone for coming and working on the bike! ... Sweetness!
