Happy Birthday To Me!!!!!!!!!
My day started off with breakfast at the Holiday Inn which is usually a treat and this day was no disappointment. I got to eat pancakes and bacon and an omelet. All while enjoying the company of a good friend. Then I had to do some business which put the party on hold but as soon as 5pm hit we were back in action. My girl K arranged for something to go down as a surprise and all the participants did a great job keeping it all under wraps. I was told to go home after 5 and I got there to find three boxes walking around my living room with chinese words on them. 
I was really afraid at first but then I calmed down when I heard familiar voices coming from within the boxes. Then I got lots of great gifts. I'm a pretty harsh judge when it comes to gifts that I receive but all the ones I got this year were really fun and I appreciated them thoroughly. There was more surprises to come but I didn't even know it. There was a huge box sitting next to the TV that said GIFT on it in English. I kind of suspected what was inside but I was not real sure. What I suspected was my good buddy was inside but then I began to here little puppy sounds from inside. So I start thinking, "Well I'm sure my buddy is in there but why is there a dog in there with him?" My buddy has been wanting to buy a dog for a while now, especially now that it's the year of the dog over here. So I'm thinking that maybe he went ahead and bought the dog and was so excited about it that he wanted the dog to be a part my surprise birthday party. So now I'm finally instructed to open the huge box. And what did I find.............? my buddy and a little dog stuffed into this box along with more gifts. So he hands me the dog and some gifts and I sit down and start opening the gifts and then I read the tag that tied around the dogs neck. Well the dog turns out to be a gift from a friend who had not showed up for the party yet.
I was pretty surprised about it and didn't really know what to say. I mean, I'm leaving here in about 5 months and I just was not expecting to receive a puppy today. He still doesn't have a name yet but if you have some suggestions on a good Mongolian name, let me know.
Anyway, after all that we sat around and ate sopapilla cheesecake and lemon pie all prepared by Special K Kitchens Inc.
I think the strangest gift I got was a bar of sports deodarant. Random but I really like who gave it to me so it's no big deal.
After all this fun at my house we went to eat great great great Mongolian food at one of the best places in town. Like all good Mongolian meals, this one was complete with great singing. After dinner we went to listen to my friend sing some of my favorite songs. He's a great singer!!! It was a fantastic birthday. One of those that will rank among the top three in my book. Thanks again Kel!!

happy birthday! he's a funny lil dude. -van
Yeah, until he pee's on the floor
;-)
tell him to pee on one of those box people. -v
I love it!!!!!!!!
What the deek V...I'm one of those box people!!! (the boxes weren't my idea for the record...)
Oren and I were discussing the whole dog issue... you won't be able to bring him home, right? They probably do that so that you will not infect the US with the Black Plague or something (no racial slur intended). Will you sell him to the local butcher?
Well actually the thought of selling him for meat never crossed my mind you sicko. What the heck are they teaching up in KY anyway?
You are the one who sucks the marrow out of bones and smells so bad that you get deodorant for your birthday, so I would argue that YOU are the sicko. (By the way - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I had no idea! How old are you?)
Happy Birthday bro. I knew you were special-- that is my bday also.
Not sure what to tell you about the dog.
Love ya, Carrie H.
i think the dog is cute, and i had a friend who bought a dog here in france and was able to take it home...
she had to get paperwork, he had to be inspected, and had to purchase a ticket for him to fly home on the plane.
you better teach him to control his bladder or that may be one long flight.
is the end of June a good time for me to visit? could you guys show me around Bejing?
Well how bout me and Carrie H throwin a huge Texas party next year for our birthday. I'll be 30 so it needs to be big anyway but who can top sharing such a day with such a stellar chic?
Beth, I've not even considered bringing this little guy home with me. I like him but he's not worth all that money and effort. Plus, I think he only costs $13.
About Beijing, I couldn't show you around because I don't have anymore vacation days but I think K has plenty. She's a conserver like that. However, it may even be a little better to come at the end of July because you could sight see BJ with other folks from the Station. You won't know them but who cares, we're all Ags.
Happy very late birthday - Im a bit behind on checking buddies blogs!!!! So your a puppy man now eh? You can get a little purse for him and a sweater and look soooooo cute!!
Well Miss Jones, thanks for the style tips but I think I'll stay away from the purse's and sweaters. He's gonna be little and so he'll have to compensate by at least trying to look intimidating. ;-)
Dude! You have a blogger? Thanks for leaving me out on this valuable piece of information. Oh yeah...happy birthday! Love you, brother!
K, thanks for droppin in bro. Hope you had a good time. ;-)
happy birthday...i think i first tried blood sausage in that restaurant where you sucked the sheep bone.
we want more posts, we want more posts!!!! come on...stories of your dog peeing everywhere, anything! you've never had a post that wasn't entertaining
