Flustered

Happy Birthday Valen! Or, birthday eve, or whatever...

Yesterday was an AWESOME day. Also very long.

First off was childrens church, which went remarkably well considering most of it was done last-minute. Oh yes, I also played bass, so cool! Me likey playing bass... Oh, and Joey being enamoured while constantly saying "That's a NICE bass!" while doing crazy slap/popping was also pretty cool, lol...

Then afterwards we had potluck, good food stuffed my face, then had recording again. Or, rather, the girls were recording 'til 4 and by then it was too late for the guys to record. But dang, I love recording, even if it is just sitting around for a few hours waiting, heheh...

And then it was babysitting time! A dozen of us babysat 4 kids, which ended up being pretty fun. Kids are awesome, even if they do get to be a handful after a while.

Now, during all of this commotion, it was Valen's birthday! And we were all planning a "surprise" birthday/present/etc thing for her. So cool! So we tried to keep her busy while we decorated her cake, signed her card, etc. We all thought she clued in, but we still tried to keep it hush hush just in case, lol. Oh, and Kirsten and I ended up having to buy Valen's present at Safeway because that was the only thing that was open on a Saturday night that was nearby. Hope you're alright with candy and an easter pot Valen!

Anyways, after babysitting, everyone decided to go for bubble tea, at Dragonball on Oak and King Ed. That place is fairly nice; cheap and good. I ended up getting honeydew with grass jelly, and everyone thought it was weird. Charissa said it "tastes like the ocean!", lol... oh, grass jelly being agar-agar, used in a filipino drink... but anyways, the point is, we all had a blast there also. And then we went to Joey & Esther's place!

When we got there, we were still in Valen's-birthday-hushhush mode, so we had to be careful while bringing the "box" and cards etc in so she didn't see it. Although, by then it was pretty much already known, heheh. Oh, especially when Sophia, Joey/Esther's 4-yr-old girl, walked up before everyone else and said to Valen "we're going to give you a surprise!!" Hahaha... but yeah, hope you liked your quasi-birthday-party! And Valen, you ARE disarmingly beautiful, hahaha!

Wait, whoops... I thought that came from a comment you posted on my blog a while back, but after checking, I don't think you did, and that line was from something else... WHOOPS. Uh... ... uh... ... ...yeah, awkward... ... ...but whatever, I wont take it back. Goodness, now I'm all flustered and embarrassed...

Oh well. Whatcha gonna do, heheh. Anyways, I had a whole long rant about how unproductive my day was today, but I think I've blogged enough for today... heheh...

Until next time, I guess...
