I was hanging out at the apt with grace and teeda this weekend, and Enj called me to go to a work thing with her. so she picks me up and we go to her place because she forgot the directions. we go up to her place, and sue pops out from the balcony yelling "SUPRISE!"
ribbons and streamers are draped all over the place, lit candles, and balloons for some reason.
i'm like huh?
turns out Sue and Enj had been planning a "Ricky Appreciation Day" for a few weeks for me. we had wine, ice cream cake, in a fully decorated apt. they read a letter that they had written, with the top 10 reasons they love me. they got me a new pillow just because i mentioned getting a new pillow case for the one i have. they chose a pink one. i even got a massage on a pillow-topped bed.
it was definitely THE best thing anyone has ever done for me, and i will treasure you girls and the letter forever. who knew that the sorta stand-offish ex-lookalike from berkley and her random online friend would put on a suprise intimate party for someone they have only known for just under 2 months?
I been had. Hoodwinked. Bamboozled.
But in a good way this time.
I sometimes joke about how everyday is my birthday, but with people like this in my life, its more true than i let on.
Thank you again Sue and Enj, if you only knew how much you mean to me.
