Birthday Surprise!

 

So we are to write about memorable birthdays this weekend? I can remember some rather entertaining child birthday parties I had for my daughter. One involved making their own Taco Bells on my dining room table, followed by a Dairy Queen cake that was much more fun to play with than eat. Luckily I anticipated this and used a shower curtain as a table cloth.

 

However, the most memorable had to be my ex-husband’s 21st birthday party. We had been married just 3 months and lived in a one bedroom apartment since we were both still in college. I planned a surprise party for him. So where do you stick someone while you set up a party? I sent him into the bathroom for a nice, long bath. He fell asleep. Meanwhile, I set up a folding table loaded with goodies, decorated the apartment, and let in at least a dozen of our closest friends. They came in quietly as instructed, and assembled themselves in the living room, awaiting his arrival from the bath.

 

He apparently forgot to take a towel with him and had missed me while he was in the bath. He came out, happy to see me, half asleep, and got the surprise of his life!
