I declare this party AWESOME

Well, today was G. Monkey's surprise party, and it was a smashing success.

She genuinely WAS surprised, and it was really awesome having all of the gang (and then some) there. Even Most Perfect Mom Ever was there with her husband (King of All Graphic Design) and 2 of the bridesmaids from G. Monkey's wedding. She loved the cake, and received some wonderful gifts. (She loved the Monk Box set- I customized the labels with Monk's picture on them.) I think she was most bowled over by the fact that Mr. G. Monkey arranged the whole shebang. Truly, we had an excellent time.

I really missed hanging out with The Professor, Horsty, Stoltz-a-ma-fus, and Super Sharon (she's a newcomer to the pack, but I really think she's awesome). I emailed everyone, and invited them to come on out to the boonies for an evening. (Probably my birthday weekend, but I will stress that it's not a party, and they shouldn't bring presents, because... c'mon.) We're also going to attempt to resurrect Cheddar Theater and Board Game Night. Should be a lot of fun. As much as I do the whole "I really REALLY have a hard time dealing with people" it's different when it's friends. And I have been stupid to stay here isolated for so long.

Anyway, enough about my crap- back to the party.

It was quite possibly the best time I've had in a while, and I really hope Ellen had an equally excellent time. :) I'll post pictures of the cake either when Stoltz-a-ma-fus emails me his digitals (and a group shot) or when maa gets her film developed. Woot!
