My brother's birthday is September 4th. When I inquired about what he wanted to do - which was a text saying, "Want me to bring SugarJones cupcakes and Boggle?" - he was noncommittal and not really wanting any company.
And then Friday happened and my top secret informant let me know that perhaps Bryan's noncommittalness (which is a word, right?) was totally a cover.
Plan B commenced.
Friday night to throw Bryan off of my plans, we played online Boggle. Meh. We had two uninvited people join our game which would not have happened in REAL life. *sigh*
Mom called Bryan and asked if she could come up and see him for his birthday. He liked that idea so she rented a car in Georgia and drove up on Saturday.
Meanwhile, yours truly connived out of Bryan that what he really wanted to do for his birthday is go to the Toledo Zoo.
Saturday night at 7 pm there's a knock-knock-knock on his apartment door and his charming sister announcing she is here for the birthday shenanigans.
Mom rolled in around 11ish.
Sunday dawned a lovely day for a birthday.
We headed to T-town around 10ish.
Spent the day at the zoo...then went to Red Robin for lunper (lunch + supper). We hit Costco and Meijer so Bryan could get groceries while we already in town.
We returned to Bryan's around circa 9 pm.
The following morning Bryan got up bright and early to go fishing with his work peeps...this meant I had to arise from my slumber to bid him farewell.
I left Michigan at 6:03 CST and arrived back in the 'hood at 10:49 CST. Traffic moved along nicely and I really only NEEDED one coffee break. :)
What a fun whirlwind weekend. Bryan loved it and that is ALL that mattered.
