Welcome to the Fish Tank!

We celebrated Fish's birthday on Friday...I know, we do a lot of birthday celebrations. Hers is the last!
Tish Tank - get it?!
Domo is guarding the tank.
Office shannigansWe are snorkeling in the tank (notice my celebritree is still up!):
Off to Lucille's BBQ for some grub!
Yeah, I know - it's not my birthday but the b-day girl is lactose intolerant (heh heh)...

In the afternoon, Fish opened her presents and we had cupcakes.

Check these out - I made them from the book, Hello! Cupcake: TV Dinner

Happy Birthday, Fish!

Pun in the Sun

Yesterday we celebrated Little B's birthday in the office. The theme was Pun in the Sun in Costa Rica! Little B went to Costa Rica a few months ago and fell in love with the Capuchin Monkey (white faced monkey). She also loves puns. A lot. Do you see where I'm going with this? How could we not combine her two loves :)

Yes, we are nuts (and bananas) - ha!

I made cupcakes! On a more serious note, I'm pretty pleased about the Presidential election but I'm saddened about Prop 8 in California. How can we as a society, be ok with the preserving the safety of chickens but not gays? How can we possibly justify that? It makes me angry because back in the day, there were probably the same arguments against interracial marriage. Hello! Mr. Pie and I would not have been allowed to get married. Stew on that proponents of Prop 8 you bunch of assholes.

Ok, I'm done! Thanks!

Oh! One more thing - good luck on your trial Mr. Pie! Kick some ass!

Why so serious?

The Pies had a great Halloween this year! My work department won this year's costume contest (2 years in a row baby). It was a lot of fun as you can see below. After work, I rushed home to where Mr. Pie was already dressing for his costume. I was still BatGirl and he morphed into the Joker (Heath Ledger style). I thought I'd never hear the words "Hon, can you help me with my makeup?" :)
After we passed out candy, we headed off to Peldia's to surprise them. They were! We then left to go to an apartment complex party. Where we knew no one. It was truly so much fun. At only $5 pp and $5 strong drinks, we had the best time! We were able to meet up with CrashTestDummy (GolfGirl's ex-roommate) which was awesome - check out his make up!
We also made some friends along the way :)
And I ran into an old friend from high school and college - random!
Saturday
I got beautified - it was extreme makeover day! I met up with Fish and Little B at the spa where we proceeded to laugh our way through our makeovers. I got eyelash extensions, a facial and a spa pedi. Later that day, I got my hairs cut and colored. We were ready to go to dinner with Peldia! Pablo pulled up in his brand new black Audi A4 which was gorgeous and smelled sooo good. We went to Agora Churrascaria where we proceeded to eat our way through a lot of meat. It was a great birthday dinner!
Sunday
The Phamily came over for a crabtacular birthday dinner (I keep celebrating!) and it was a lot of fun. We shared oysters and crab and when it was over and done with we couldn't move.
Birthday month was a success - even though I'm not done celebrating with Mr. Pie (aka, the Joker)!
