Pickle's Birthday and Peterson Babies

Packing Pains...Literally

So, if I were to make a list of things I absolutely abhor or hate to do, packing would be one of them. Finding a job would be another one. Anyway, I started packing this weekend and because I got a little overzealous about getting out of Fresno my toe suffered. The bookshelf decided to slide out and land on my big toe. It took me down like a little girl. The pics look pretty weak but I am telling you it hurt like a banshee.

The culprit.

My big toe. Mike says my toe looks like a block because it is swollen. You always wanted a sweet view of my foot, right.

Happy Valentine's Day

Look who showed up in Fresno...Brad and Jordan. They were supposed to be moving Jeanette's stuff to Sacramento but Mel just called and said she wasn't ready to move. Ha! Oh well, we still got to party with them. So, on our Valentine's Day we went to the Nickelcade, went to a glow-in-the-dark putt putt golfing course and watched the movie Taken.

Valentine Barbershop Quartet

So I took my camera to work on Friday because I heard that my coworkers wife had planned a Barbershop Quartet surprise for him. It was pretty funny. Check it out.

Halo Calendar

Just FYI. Michael Patterson who sits right next to me at work gave me a Halo calendar for my birthday. Not gonna lie...it is wickedly sweet!!! And just so you know, Michael P. ain't no holla back girl!!

Celebrating 30 Years

I finally hit the big 30 yesterday. Wanted to thank everyone for making it so special and for giving me shout outs throughout the day and espically to...

• Mikey - for decorating the bathroom and filling it up with 30 balloons, taking me to the Olive Garden and getting me Mamma Mia, a book and Prince of Persia (video game).
• Karen & Gavinator - for being the first to call and wish me Happy Birthday.
• Nick (Pickle) - for calling me twice in the same day to wish me a great day
• Work Friends - for giving me a Game Stop gift certificate (do they know me or what) and someone even folded up a $5.00 bill (see pic below). I thought that was pretty cool.
• My Boss - for singing a solo that was so loud the entire office heard it. Not too mention she danced a jig. It was hilarious.
• Ayzha & Tiago - for singing the "you live in a zoo" version of Happy Birthday to me.
• Jilly Bean & Sarah - for leaving me birthday messages.
• Mom & Dad - for paying for my ticket to get to Jilly Bean's wedding.
• Angela, Gager, & Kyah - for singing to me and giving me birthday love.
• Huntskys and Jordache - for playing video games with me on my birthday.
• Randawg & Little Trippy - for telling me Happy Birthday.
• Shimm Doctor, Randitty, & Kelli - for emailing birthday wishes to me.
• Brian & Jenny - for calling me and telling me how hot I still am.
• The Bowens - for singing the loudest and most energetic birthday song I have ever heard in my life.
• Angie - for getting me huge pics of my favorite kids. I complained that the pics I got were mini sized so Angie took care of it. Check out the top of my fridge in the pics below and then compare with the bottom of my fridge.
• Ben - for being the last to call at 11:15 pm to tell me Happy Birthday. I guess he has an excuse because he decided to steal my day for his anniversary.

My little buddies.

Hard to see, but it is the $5.00 bill awesomely folded.
