Thank God for Small Blessings!

Today is the day of SO's surprise party!! WOOHOO!! I've been absolutely PANICING about this stupid cake. I ended up deciding to do it myself. That part wasn't the problem. The problem was, thinking of a ligitimate, believable reason to tell SO as to why I needed to be out of the house for a few hours so I could go to my Aunt's and bake the cake! He and I are never apart, unless were both at work. He would have been verrrrry suspicious.

Well, enter SO's mom.... Turns out one of her best friends is a cake decorator, and said she would be more than happy to do the cake for me!! *Angels sing* HALLELUJAH! I got an email from her late last night saying the cake was finished and looked AWESOME! I will definitely be posting pictures!

So now I'm at work...Panicing about more things..Like how the HELL I'm going to get him out of the house today. I mean...I have a plan...I just hope he isn't a stubborn ass like he usually is and pisses and moans about it.

The plan is for my mom to "call" me and say she needs me to go pick up my Grandmothers meds at Walmart. She's at work so she can't get them. I'm going to say how sick I feel and that I don't feel like going out...Then I'll give Josh my big puppy dog eyes and ask him to PLEASE go pick them up. Our Walmart is a good 20 minutes away. I'll get the "call" around 4ish, he'll probably leave around 4:15 and everyone will be at the party by 5! I'm just hoping he cooperates. The best part about this is that my Grandmother really DOES have meds that need to be picked up there...So it's not like he's going for nothing! He's actually doing us a favor =)

I get off work at Noon today. I still have to go to Costco, get all the whores-ovaries (hors d'oeuvres...Whores-Ovaries is a little family joke) pick up a cheap little charcoal grill at the dollar store (Big spender!) and pick up his birtday gift at the mall! Oy...He better not know about this...I have a feeling he does....But I'm going to be SUPER pissed if he's not surprised.

Lots of pictures to come later!! Wish me luck and pray SO isn't stubborn and goes along with the plan!!!!
