Kate-a-palooza - Day 5

I was ready for bed and realized I hadn't posted! 

While I was at work, Partner realized today was the last track meet to see some kids we've gotten to know.  From there, I went to knit night, and 15 hours after I left, rolled home.  

But it wouldn't be good to mess up my own party! So a short post. 

Today's item is a collection of bath items - body scrub, body lotion and a spritzer in a lotus and bamboo scent.

For today's gift... how about... tell me something funny that happened during a birthday celebration.  

I don't know what all I need to tell people, so the "rules" continue to get explained as I think necessary.

You can get more than one gift in this little party.  You just have to leave a comment on each post for that particular gift.

I will take comments for this post, and all Kate-a-palooza posts, until 11:59 PST on May 13th. Please leave your responses on the appropriate post.

My 30th birthday we had just moved to our new town the year earlier, so I invited a few new friends along with family to our place for a cool food party. That week-end the water got shut off in our town for three days. It came back on 5 hours AFTER my party. It really was pretty funny. (Luckily it was the rainy season, so we collected a lot of buckets of water.)

Oh, you will appreciate this: K threw me a surprise birthday party for my 30th (and it was, in fact, a surprise). After we all ate lunch and while we were waiting for some waiter to bring out the cake I asked, "should I open presents or something?" K turned red and my friend Alison said, "oh, he told us not to bring presents." Me: oh, that's so funny...wait, you're serious? What? Alison: Yeah, I didn't understand it either, that's why I left your gift at your house." My husband told people NOT to bring presents. I am okay with people not giving me presents, but don't tell them not to do it! Free will! Free will!! And I like presents!!

This is a hard one for me...cuz I can't hardly remember my birthdays the past decade (always in the field so they sort of come and go without much notice). But the tried and true funny is my 21st birthday. First and last time I drank so much I got sick...but the funny thing is I got kicked out of a Harley bar in Kentucky. I'm a little proud of that one actually!
