HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY SISTER!! :)

Well, today was Carlene's 23rd Birthday and we celebrated over the weekend by having a get together Saturday night with Carlene's friends, and bunch today with the family at Mission Inn.

Saturday night was a lot of fun. Since redecorating and landscaping the backyard with ideas of "when we have parties..." or "oh we can have dinners here" we finally had an an excellent excuse to go all out do just that. It felt grown up with all the candles and glasses of wine... and talk of "WORK." Oh goodness. The only thing was that at 11pm that evening, we were visited by 2 possums who decided to walk across the back fence. One actually fell off the wall and the other possum decided to skip out on his homie and left him to fend for himself. Useless. It was my first time seeing a possum, and when we heard the crash of the first one, I first thought it was a really ugly cat. A really really ugly cat. Then someone yelled "OH MY GOSH! ITS A POSSUM!"... followed by "TAKE A PICTURE!!"


"I want to see it hanging from its tail..."

The rest of the night went possum-less indoors with lots of old school Nintendo, hookah as well lots and lots of greek leftovers. Joe, Ken, Jean, Sonny, Chelle and myself claimed the table battled it out for chips in probably the most hilarious game of Poker I've ever gotten to participate in... complete with ample smack talking and killing of spirits with the girls managing to knock out all the guys (VAGINA POWER!). Oh and we can't forget Joe the dealer and his obsessive need to organize chips.

Ken: I see pride! I see power! I see a bad-ass mother who don't take no crap off of nobody!

Joe on losing: I'm really good at the begining... its usually during the end that sucks.

20 minutes later.
Jean: Hey joe. Come back! We're starting over! You'll be good again!

All in all, the party was a sucess. In the words of all our SL girlies... *good times* It was good times today also at the Mission Inn for bunch... yay for waffles!

But most of all YAY for Carlene, who's my bestest sister and friend in the whole wide world. :) Love yooouuu!!
