October Thus Far…
So far, this month has been an interesting one to say the least.
I found out that Zeus, my dad, got shingles (the adult version of chicken pocks) and has been on treatment for it since the 2nd. He’s almost done with his treatments, but will not find out if it has completely cleared up until the day after my birthday…
I had a surprise birthday dinner with friends last Wednesday. Sneaky people my friends are… 
Lynn planned the whole thing out, telling me that she wanted to take me to dinner. I called up Ann and asked her to watch Lee, since there were no kids going with. After she picked him up, I messaged Lynn telling her I was ready. Harrison came to get me and to drop off a bouquet of balloons and roses (26 each). “There are 26 roses and 2 are friendship roses, one for you, and one for Lynn.” AWWWW!!!
We drove over to Lynn’s. When I got there, I saw Leigh and Lynn’s nephew, Onyx, all dressed up. Harrison and Onyx went to trade out vehicles so we could all ride together. We got to a restaurant called Wasabi Japanese Steakhouse and waited. “We can’t go in yet. Our party isn’t all here yet.” Lynn said. My response was simple…”How many people are we waiting for?” “Two or three…” About five minutes later, Liberty and Tyche pulled up. “Poet’s still at work and he’ll be here once he gets off.”
We sat at the hibachi table and put in our orders. (I got two pieces of sushi! ) It was quite a bit of fun! Poet showed up just as the chef came out and began preparing the food. Perfect timing! LoL Most of us got what’s called the Samurai Plate, which comes with soup, salad, a shrimp appetizer, fried rice, mixed vegetables, shrimp, chicken, and steak. Good eating!!!
After everyone was stuffed, I heard drums and saw a waitress approaching me with a chef hat. GREAAT! LOL!!! She put the hat on me and placed a huge slice of chocolate cake in front of me and lit the candle. Everyone sang “Happy Birthday” to me and I blew out the candle. It was great fun! Even walked away with a picture….sadly, Icouldn’t keep the hat. *pout*
Surprise Birthday Dinner
After the bill had been paid, we sat outside the restaurant debating on the next venture. We came to the conclusion that everyone wanted alcohol but didn’t want to go to a club/bar, so we stopped at Total Wine & Spirits and picked up some and went to Leigh’s house. Tyche, Poet, and Liberty dropped off one of the vehicles and informed Sonny, Henry, and Daichi about the gathering at Leigh’s. They all drove over and joined us. Blade got off work and came straight home and joined in as well. Nothing like drinking with great friends!! 
Henry, Poet, Tyche, and Liberty left about 11:15, Daichi and Sonny took off around midnight. That left me, Lynn, Onyx, Harrison, Blade, and Leigh. We all decided to just crash there because of so much drinking we had all done. As everyone started crashing, Blade and I stayed up and chatted (our usual tradition for when we get together as a group and decide to crash at someone’s house.) Blade is a really good listener and gives me great advice…we’re alike in alot of ways, probably due to our last names being the same. LOL (No relation though.)
Fast forward to Friday, October 8th: “Are they doing Hall this year?” {C} “Who is this?” {L}”Lakota I finally got a new phone” {C} “No, they are not having Hall of Terror this year” {L}”Okay thanks”
…….I have not heard from/talked to/seen Lakota since June…then all out of the blue, he sends me a message about something he knows I am usually apart of but can easily look up online?!?! GRRRRR! I kept my composure and decided to lend a friendly gesture. {C} “I’m not sure if you’re interested, but you’re invited to my birthday party. Contact Lynn or Tyche for details as it’s supposed to be a surprise party for me.” He responded a few hours later… {L} “I would love 2 go. Sorry I didn’t have my phone.” I asked Lynn and Tyche recently if they had heard from him…both said no, meaning he more than likely will not be there. *sigh of relief*
I am going to be honest…I’m completely nervous about this upcoming weekend…I know my party is between Friday and my birthday, excluding Saturday and Sunday due to gaming and my going to Orlando for Halloween Horror Nights. That leaves Friday, Monday, and Tuesday…I don’t know what to expect…I don’t know who will be there…I don’t know anything about my party except that Lynn, Tyche, Liberty, Blade, Leigh, and Ian are going to be there (because they are my party planning committee). This is going to be an interesting week….
