Stronger at 29 and Alot of Aloy's Associates...
Her birthday is actually still on the 27th, but seeming as its smack in the middle of the week she thought it better to party on the weekend to fit most everyone's schedules. And only Aloy can pull off her own birthday celebration on a potluck budget. Many folks must like my sister alot 'cause the food and friends were near endless. Helen and I brought a bucket of Neopolitan Ice Cream as contribution. The theme was wholesome (at first) since some of our friends have started families already. There was face painting. (which is the gunk on Aloy's face in the pix. Helen had already washed her fairy-esque paint design off.) Also, I would like to mark today as our 29th month together (that's 2 years and 5 months), Helen and I and we're just perfect. (We've been keeping score for 2005 on who can remember and greet the other first. Score is 6:1 in my favor. Still the possibility of a tie.) The day ended with a simple dinner at Terriyaki Boy, Libis. (One of our fav jap food place. Besides Helen's dad's own cooking.) In the area, we passed by Firefighters to finalize and put down a deposit for Ken's surprise party of Friday. So that'll be another one this week. Fun on Friday.
