Lisa and I decided to put on a dinner for Hamish's big birthday (denial) party. His birthday was over a month ago, but this was the first time we could all get together. The following is the story of one of the most pathetic birthday parties ever (aside from my own, which are always much worse):
the dessert we bought had CAT HAIRS on it, so we didn't use it and lisa was going to make a cake with some cake mix I'd bought from France but couldn't get the oven to light, she also had balloons and forgot them at her house, but that didn't matter because she showed up an hour late and Victor showed up 2 hours later, so the party was just me and Hamish for a while. then we got the grill rolling and it started to rain, so we had to bring everything inside and use my new table (which did a great job!) and set up an umbrella to protect the bbq. food was good, but there was no b-day cake and I only had 3 tea lights and some cheese, so I thought we'd do dessert French style, with cheese, though Hamish wasn't too keen to blow out the tea candles I was holding in one hand and feast on the cheese (wedge of Laughing Cow, grated parmesan, and a bit of spanish cheese) I held in the other. Can you believe the ungratefulness!? :) Then we were going to go to the fireworks, but they got rained out, so it was a terrible bust but at least we had a great light show au natural. At least we managed to get the birthday boy good and drunk, so maybe he won't remember what a pathetic party he had!
