Birthday (slightly revised) :)

For once it was a good thing that it took me over a week to blog about something! Thanks to everyone who came to the party for me, and those who wished to be there and couldn't: ya missed a grand ol' time!

I shall have to start the telling of my birthday experiences to you, by recounting to everyone what happened prior to the Saturday evening party.

Monday the 3rd was the official day and at work I kept it pretty much under wraps. A couple of my co-workers knew but it was not broadcasted everywhere. That evening after I got home Mom called me and told me to meet her and Beka in Bham. The result was an outing for dinner at Anthony's. It was a marvelous evening complete with delicious food, incomparable service, lovely company, (of course) and the whole ambiance of the place is the best in Whatcom County that I have experienced! I can definitely recommend the place to anyone; anyone who enjoys seafood that is. But they do have wonderful desserts as well. (I have been there once before just for dessert and it was a delightful experience as well.) We went home and they let me finally open the gift that had been in the car but I was not allowed to touch. It was a CD player. Very nice!!

On to Friday! Friday evening, as most of you know, I played soccer at the Sportsplex with quite a group of friends. Early on in the game I got kicked in the ankle. Not fun but I just figured I'd have a bruise the next day and kept playing. About an hour later I had a major limp and was in a bit of pain. So I got off the field and sat out the rest of the time.

From subsequent swelling and bruising I was unable to skate on Sat and actually was unable to walk very well at all! This, I was to find out a bit later, played right into my devious sister and mother's hands as I went upstairs to 'lie down and rest my foot'. Around 6:30ish I was getting hungry but from a few things I had seen I didn't want to go downstairs a possibly spoil something. A look out my aunt's window removed the 'possible' and I decided to freshen up before I would be (undoubtedly) fetched. Mom was the one to get me and I was quite thrilled with the assembled group. I was for the most part relegated to a chair for most of the proceedings, but I had a wonderful time regardless.

Thanks again to everyone who took time out to visit the cripple! You all brightened her day!! And after my injury, I needed it.

And of course a big thanks to Mom and Sis who managed to keep me in the dark until the day of! That was a big feat! My congratulations!

AnnaBelle, take care of that ankle. No more spiked heels, I know you're all into the latest fashion, but yu need to think about your health and whats best for you. Not to mention the fact that you'r 5'9" with those things on. I sincerly think you need to focus on being a women of shorter stature. So, break the heels, wear flats, and the anckle will heal :)

Emmy you are very funny!
But just to let you know I have found that wearing a bit of a heal is more comfortable that none. :) And you know I would have to put on 4" heals to be 5'9"!! I don't think that would be very comfortable. And you know I insist on being comfortable where ever I go!

I did skate on Saturday, but did no jumps--just alot of spins and foot-work.

Please do e-mail those pics Gloria!
