Hey fellow gorillas,
I had a great Saturday and I thought I would share. First, a little back story. I'm a modest ape, don't really self-indulge and make lavish requests. When it comes to birthdays, I usually don't do much. I'm not a "Bah Humbug I'm getting older" type; but rather, it is just another day and doesn't give me the right to be a Richard.
Usually my b-day consists of going to work and maybe some dinner out at a place of my choice.
So... my wife being the lovely (and highly tollerant) person she is, plans out a great surprise 30th b-day party. A awesome affair with roughly 75 of my close friends and family. She spent a year planning, contacting, designing, & hiding this from me (great job, I had no idea). After it all, she told me that I deserved a party to celebrate me knowing that I would never expect/ask for it. She reserved a whole picnic area in this brand new park so we wouldn't be bothered (aka able to smoke & drink).
Even better I got a bunch of gifts (another thing I didn't expect). Some cash, some clothes, some booze (Mmmm... Vodka & Cognac), & some great smokes. I thought I would post the loot (cigars that is):
A great selection that some friends were so kind in getting me (especially the Partagas 160 at the left edge! :dr).
So lets just say I owe the wife tons for this. Take care of your significant others as when the sun does shine on you, it is amazing. I was truly humbled at this and I had a great day. What a way to kick off the new decade.
Thanks for reading and I hope everyone else's weekend is going well too.
