Ropo and Sarea Do Not Go to White Castle ... But They Want To, And Get Weed, Too

( Read all about my week! You know you want to! )

And how have all of you been? :D

Eeeee!

Okay, so you know how Robbie called? This was how our conversation went:

Her: Can you come home for lunch?
Me: Yes.
Her: Oh, good. I went and got a surprise for you today.
Me: Is it grilled cheese?
Her: .... yes.

Two minutes away from home, Robbie calls me, demanding to know where I am, as she is slaving over a hot stove. I say that I will be there shortly, thinking that she certainly gets pissy when she's cooking.

When I get to my door, there's a note taped on it, saying that there's a surprise for me and directs me where to go. Fun! I open the door, and Robbie's there with her camera, saying that it's the start of my scavenger hunt. I go, "YAY!" because how fun is that? It must be something pretty good, if she's taking pictures.

So I go from place to place, wherever the next note leads me, and then I finally get directed to this little storage closet out on my deck. I open it, and out pops ... JADE!!!!!!!!!!!

:O!!!!!!!

I screamed, because, you know, person popping out of my storage closet, kind of scary.

And then I cried. I am not ashamed to admit it. Robbie has it all on her digital camera.

It was the BEST surprise. I was extremely surprised, which I think is the key ingredient in a good surprise. Robbie had picked Jade up at the airport this morning (I did wonder why the hell she was so diligent about getting up so early), and they'd been planning this for weeks and weeks, apparently. (Jade even booked appointments at the same beauty clinic for this Sat., and Robbie almost ruined it all by pointing out that someone with her area code had appointments at the same time as us -- she didn't know Jade was going to do that, and Jade had used a pseudonym and left her cell number! Luckily I wasn't overly concerned, and wasn't paying attention! Crazy.)

And now Jade can help us finish the puzzle we can all have t00by fun together for weeks!! *:(( in joy*

I really have to commend Robbie, who has the worst memory EVER (except for maybe Drew Barrymore), for keeping this a secret for SO LONG, and detaining me in doing some of the things I wanted to do, as she wanted to wait for Jade to get here so we could do them all together, without making me suspicious or wanting to hit her for not wanting to do anything. Truly, Robbie, bravo. *does the slow clap for you again*
