verbicideWaking up early was SO worth it.
I hustled in, got the press release out, and then ran over to Jeff's office with all the accoutrement I'd bought at Fred Meyer last night. Mary, across the hall, came over and we wrapped the entire door, stuck bows on it, festooned his walls with balloons and banners and threw mardi gras beads and flowered leis on every surface. It looked fabulous!
I was worried that it was getting too close to the range of times Jeff comes in, so I grabbed the remaining balloons and went back to my office to blow. Then I tiptoed back in to dump them around. Kirsten had added a few fantastic features (including a giant tikki god thing and a pin the tail on the donkey). I was just stealthily sneaking out, when Jeff (who saw me sneaking and saw an opportunity for some fun) came up behind me and said, BOO. I totally shrieked. Twice, even. First because I was startled, and then because I saw it was him. He was looking rather pleased with himself when he saw the door, and he came into the office and kept saying, "My. God. What have you done!!" Heeeeeeeee.
So that was wildly entertaining. Many hugs and birthday wishes. It's going to be fun to torture him all day: we walked to get coffee in the breakroom, and there were people outside of our group, so I innocently asked, "Wow. I wonder if we should make you wear a sign so people know it's your BIRTHDAY." And all the people in the breakroom chorused, "Happy Birthday!!"
Muhahahaha. It's going to be a good day.
Finally, I ran out to my car to get his present, because I'm just that impatient. And yay, he likes it! I knew he wanted a big, tiled, tin mirror, but I'm glad he likes the tiles I picked, too.
One of the many things I love about Jeff is that he's very easy to shop for!
Now I'm all bouncy and have no desire whatsoever to work!! The next fun event needs to happen now, which is in roughly 1.3 hours.
