Richie arrived from Jersey around 12:30, and we went to Spice for lunch and to catch up. Then we headed back to the apartment so I could put a chicken in the oven for dinner, and hung out for a while. We also picked up a cake from Leske's Bakery, a little shop a few blocks from my place. This was basically the best cake I've ever tasted (even though Richie couldn't figure out how to tell the girl at the bakery how to spell my name). People started showing up soon after we ate dinner, and then the party really got rolling.
All in all, it was probably one of the best parties I've ever been to. Emma and I had been a little concerned about the intermingling of our different groups of friends, but everyone got along really well with each other. There were some really memorable moments, such as when Emma and I sang "Monster" to each other at the top of our lungs, when I dumped a full cup of punch in the middle of my living room floor, and when the entire party serenaded us with "Speechless".
I also received some really excellent gifts, such as an awesome muffin pan from Ella, quite a few assorted bottles of things from people, and a T-Rex silly band thing from Steve, which I'm sure will make all the six-year-olds I know very jealous.
The party went on late into the night, and as I watched the sun come up on Saturday morning, I knew it was one for the record books. The rest of the weekend was relatively calm, consisting of mostly hanging out and a lot of sleeping (it was HOT outside!)
But now it's back to the daily grind. I'm going to be getting a lot of extra hours for the next few weeks, since my co-worker is on vacation, so maybe I'll be able to treat myself to some new back-to-school clothes!
