We got to Lori’s house and changed and then after Dena and Lori spent a few minutes in front of the make up mirror, we headed over to Academy and bought him a $40 gift card, then we went to Walgreens and got him a birthday card (and Lori and Dena loitered about). We got to the place around 6:45 even though we had wanted to show up a little earlier. But it didn’t really matter, because Trevor’s wife had called and said they’d be a little late because Trevor was being sludge and didn’t want to go out. He didn’t get to the party till around 7:25ish. By then, we had all been eyeing the tables with food longingly.
The restaurant we went to was called Melvin’s. It’s way out of the way, but it’s on the water and they had the whole back patio area secluded for our party, along with a little …stone way that was down from the elevated patio where a dance floor was set up with a DJ (although I must say, the huge statue of the angle in the middle of the dance floor was awfully…disconcerting).
When Trevor finally walked back there we all yelled the customary “Surprise!” and then everyone from the ISR PT that he works out yelled out “Holy Macerole!....Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh?” I swear they started sounding like those seagulls from Finding Nemo with those eh’s at the end there. It was amusing though. Everyone broke to go and eat, and the food was very good. Rolls and breads of every type along with a spinach salad and some shrimp and honey mustard dip; a whole haunch of beef (which was delicious), a fruit and vegetable platter (respectably), some rice and two types of soup – crawfish & white bean soup (which was excellent) and Hawaiian pork and peanut soup (which, I did not try).
All of the food I ate was excellent, and in fact I did go back to that fruit tray several times if only because the pineapple and strawberries were so good. I ate so much pineapple, my mouth was throbbing I don’t know if that happens to anyone else, but when I eat pineapple and I eat too much of it, my tongue and eventually my whole mouth hurts. The strawberries were good too.
After eating it was time to open gifts, most of which were gag gifts, but he did get our gift certificate and guitar hero, so it wasn’t all jokes. Then began the dancing. Now...I enjoy dancing. I do not enjoy large crowds. So dancing in the middle (or about) a large crowd is something I do not enjoy. Therefore, other than showing Lori what few moves I have (she seems incapable of learning how to move to the music on her own...). Everyone was shocked when I informed them of the terms and actual words in the song Soulja Boy, as they had never heard it before and didn’t understand it anyway. And I got the chance to observe many of the down-stairs PT girls dancing...I have fully realized the effects of alcohol and how it affects judgment and coordination. After joking around with my coworkers and boss and watching the girls dance (with their children) we decided to leave. It was around 10ish at that point, though I’ve no idea where the time went.
The event, though not my usual scene, was a pleasant one. If anyone were to try to throw a birthday party like that for me, I’d kill them. I much rather a few good friends come over and visit than have some huge gala event. To me, it’s just suffocating. But that’s me. I didn’t get to bed till sometime after midnight, and I slept till noon ^..^
