Wow. Okay guys. I just had the best birthday ever, and just felt like I needed to tell everyone about it.
Okay, so the day started out like any other day. I woke up around 11am, worked 12-4, and came home.
Got on my computer and did my normal round of checking for any updates to my favorite sites, posted a bit on the SHH boards, etc etc.
Nothing spectacular.
Well, the only thing I had planned today was that one of my roommates (who happens to be an ex) had told me we were going to go to Olive Garden around 7. So the time came, and off we went.
Now, I live with 3 total roommates (my sister, my ex, and another of my ex's ex-husband....yeeeahhh), and only Jen (the ex) was able to go.
Aaaanyway.
So we get into Olive Garden, and the seater asked how many was in our party. I quickly told him "Two". As we were walking to our seats, Jen whispers something in his ear, and he says something like "oh you have a party?" And he starts taking another direction.
By now I think I've got it figured out. I'm thinking that we're gonna sit down somewhere and in a few moments, my two other roommates would surprise me by eating with us.
Well I was off by quite a bit. We walk into the room, and there's 11 friends waiting at a huge table for me. 13 of us total.
I was shocked.
Jen had rounded up some old friends I haven't seen in a year, a co-worker, family, and some friends I see quite often.
This was already now my best birthday ever.
So we have our wonderful dinner, and at the end, Jen hands me this giftbag to open. It has a couple inside joke gifts...and a notecard with a cute little poem that basically hints me to go to the car.
And so my little birthday scavenger hunt begins.
The first card leads me to the car. In the car is another card that leads me to Circuit City (where I work), in there was a co-worker who gave me a third card that took me to Dairy Queen (where Jen works), where the 4th card led me to my elementary school playground, which led me to my comic shop, which led me home.
Get inside, and there are all my friends again, with the house decorated for my birthday and a big "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!"
And in the middle of the front room sat a huge box wrapped in wrapping paper.
So after a few minutes, it's time to open the present.
I open it. Inside is another wrapped, slightly-smaller box...and in that, another, and then another, and another.
FINALLY, I open the last box, and inside was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen....
A SPIDEY SUIT!!!!!!

That was really sweet of your friends.
But is it just me, or did anyone else think of Tom Cruise when they saw the second picture?
