Surprise surprise

Last Friday was yet another momentous occasion in my crazy office family of simple joys (and simple minds). We decided to throw a last minute surprise birthday party for dear sweet Corinne who turned twenty something last June 12 and already feels over the hill (where does that place the likes of ME???!) So, in keeping with our very childish hearts and minds we decided to throw a kiddie party right in the office. May Anne and I went merrily shopping at SM Toy Kingdom, where we loaded up on the kiddie hats, masks, a birthday crown, and buntings.
The food was ordered from McDonalds... and we really did maintain the surprise element -- well orchestrated, am impressed! May Anne brought her to the employees sale next door... while we hurriedly decorated our mini meeting room..laid out the food...we put on our masks / hats... and waited for Russel the security guard to give the pre-agreed signal -- a very loud COUGH. And cough away he did! one long asthmatic bronchitic sounding cough that called us all to action... crouching low , with lights dimmed we waited for that moment ... SURPRISE!!!!
