Photo Tag!

Hey guys!

So the lovely Christy over at w0ngturn tagged me for this photo tag. Hurray, I've never been tagged on blog for anything before, so this should be interesting! PS. Go check out Christy's wonderful blog, although I'm sure many of you have already!

OKAY. So...the rules:
1. Open your 1st Photo folder.
2. Scroll to the 10th photo.
3. Post the photo and the story behind it.
4. Tag 5 or more people.

So the 10th photo in my 1st photo folder leads me to...





This picture was taken in December of 2008. It was my friend's birthday and her boyfriend wanted to surprise her with something, so I decided I would help him decorate her basement for her.

We were supposed to have our secret santa that exact same night, but the boyfriend suggested we move it to another day so we could surprise her on her birthday with this. So we told her secret santa was moved (and she was super bummed because this was her way of celebrating her birthday and now she thinks no one will be celebrating with her) and the planning begun!

The day's events were as follows:
1. Boyfriend takes her out to try to make up for the fact that she now has to celebrate her birthday on her own.
2. My friend and I call her mom to let us into her house.
3. My friend and I decorate her basement.
4. All those participating in secret santa now go meet at a restaurant.
5. Boyfriend brings her to the restaurant.
6. SURPRISE!!!
7. We eat dinner.
8. We bought her a cake! SURPRISE x2!!!
9. We call say we're going home.
10. We're actually going to her house while boyfriend takes a SUPER LONG DETOUR to take her home.
11. She gets home. Boyfriend makes dumb excuse to go inside with her.
12. She goes down to her basement.
13. SURPRISE x3!!!!!!!!!!!!


It was some fun times. Here are more pictures of the decorations:


Success !!! I love love surprise parties. I've had 2 thrown for me before. Perhaps I'll save that story for another time.

I think many of you have done this tag already but the rules say to tag 5 more people so here goes..

I tag:

THERE! Gahh I hate this tagging other people business. It's so hard to pick! Please, everyone who wants to do this tag - do it! I'm sure 4.99999/5 of the people I tagged already did this anyway but yeah.

OKK! Until next time!

Oh yeah! For today's question - Have you ever thrown a surprise party for someone or had one thrown for you??

And super random question..
When someone types LOLOLOL would that be..."laugh out loud out loud out loud"? Or does LOLLLLL mean "laugh out loud loud loud loud loud"? In my head both of these convert to "hahahaha."
Yeah. Random.

PS. I've started a beauty blog! Uh...yeah...here I am whining about how I may not be able to update my blog as much due to school, and then I go and start a second one! How smart of me...Haha.


Anyway, I'd love it if you would drop by and say hi! Click here to do so =)

  5. My comment was supposed to say: It was awfully nice of you to decorate and help her BF pull off the surprise!

    I'm making too many typos lately!!!

    We had a surprise anniversary party for my parents once and a surprise birthday party for my dad. They both went well, but nothing interesting to share about them.
