Carrie’s birthday party was a classic one. Mike and I took our time heading over to Carrie’s as we sipped on a few beer after a hard week of work. I was also setting up Leopard to its optimum capabilities which was no easy feat with two external hard drives and some stuff on my old computer. The only victim of the move was all the videos I took at Katie’s back in January. This was quite disappointing actually as they were on my SD card in my camera and I said to myself “Well, it’s not like I need them anymore. They are on the computer!” and I formatted the card.
Once Mike and I arrived, we spied a cooler of beer on the back porch so I braved the snowbank to raid it. Carrie caught us red-handed but it was all in good fun and we have more than enough of our to share.
After ordering a few pizzas, the night descended into madness involving some euchre, some jumping into snowbanks (it’s so tempting!) and some good tunes (including Uncle Greg’s mixed CD which was hilarious because he ended up making the same copy twice!). The video games also came out near the end of the night and Rob and I tried our hand at Contra but failed miserably. Clearly, it was the wonky Xbox control pads and not our superior video game skills which messed things up.
I would also like to point out the fact that I met an…interesting girl at the party who was friends with Carrie and Amanda, who proceeded to point out that I have…feminine arms! Ha ha…we al had a good laugh at this throughout the night. Anne-Marie sure has some balls.
All in all, everyone had a great night, Carrie had a great birthday (and she especially enjoyed the new Snoop Dogg album Vero and I picked up for her) and all was well in the world. The ride home was a little hairy as it was storming out…I thought we would have definitely got the extra 25cm we needed to break the winter snowfall record in Ottawa!
Thanks for the grand times Carrie. Happy birthday! Also, thanks for the dance.
