"A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing. " Emo Phillips

So I had it written down on my calendar that Wednesday was my good buddy Debi's birthday and for about a month now I've been hording some killer pirate themed decorations I got from the dollar store, and Debi I thought would be the best person to use them for, not because she likes Pirates, but because she likes to have fun and likes silly things like me, so I knew she would appreciate it! So I gathered a few more trinkets woke up early yesterday morning and came upon this. . . . . .

Some one beat me too it, can you believe that???

And Here she is the culprit herself. . . . .Miss Mary the Idea stealer!

I don't think Reza had anything to do with it, but he was at the scene of the crime, so he's just as guilty!

Mary hooked Debi up with an asinine amount of bottled frappicino's. . . . .too bad Debi doesn't drink those! Guess you can't win them all!

Here's Debi looking super cute with her tissue bows! I bet she would have looked cuter with an eye patch and a hook. . . but whatever!


I will give kudo's to Mary for her delicious and ascetically pleasing birthday cake!

Now I know you're all worried that all my preparation had been in vane, not the case. Marcia the administrator here at WorkSource had a birthday last Saturday that I intended on doing something for anyway, but she was gone, so guess who got the pirate booty instead as a belated birthday surprise!!!!!

Marcia's a pretty classy lady, so I figured her donning the hat, hook, and eye patch might not be a possibility!

Betty thought she was gonna be in early so she told me I should hurry, so hanging that banner was a bit of a rush job. . . .don't judge me!

You can't tell me those hats aren't the cutest things you've ever seen!

Also, that foam gun coolest thing ever, it totally lights up and it was only a dollar!
Here's a shot of some of her loot!

So I guess all hope was not lost, just don't tell Marcia that she was kind of 2nd runner up. . . that'd be AWKWARD!

Peace!
