I know you are DYING to hear the real deal on Ape's surprise partay Molls and I planned for the past 2 months or so ,, yes you read that right 2 months to surprise our very own little one ,, and we did it ,, of course this could had not been possible WITHOUT the help of Ape's mom ,,, Julie, high five for you awesome job!!!

Chapter 1 - What to do for the Apes B'day??
While enjoying a 'hot chocolate' at a local Starbucks down in LA back in March ,,, on Molls b'day weekend Apes and I spend with her ,,, April got up to go to the ladies room ,,, Molly and I were left alone for a good 3-5 minutes ,,, my mind started spending and an idea popped up ,,, 'what if we do a surprise partay at Apes home town' I told suddenly to the Molls ,,, she replied ,,, 'Lupes that is the most amazing idea you have ever thought' ,,, well she really did not say that ,,, however, I like to think she did so ,,, anyhow ,,, we brain storm on how to surprise the Apes ,,, many ideas were brought to the table ,,, but the surprise partay was the most appropriate ,,, specially since we wanted to include her home town friends and family.

As the freak shows we are ,,, we started the master plan ,,, but we did not have any info on any of her friends and/or family ,,, ohh what to do now??? Fortunate enough, Molly had Apes home number ,,, and that my dear readers was all I needed to execute 'Da Plan'. One afternoon I called Apes' home and her lil sister answered the phone, I kinda told her what we were tying to do for the Apes and she agreed, however, I wanted to talk to Apes mom, at that moment she was not home, but April was ,,, so I just told Aubrey that I would get in touch with her mom and for her to keep it on the LOW. A couple of weeks past by, and on mothers day, I received a call from the Apes on my cell ,,, I answered and what a surprise I had ,,, it was the own and only mother of the Apes hollaing at mua!!! We chatted for a few, let her know what the plan was, and with not hesitation, she was on our side!!!! She took care of the most important thing to do ,,, keep the Apes in town!!! *Phew* So after that it was a piece of cake, all the planning was taken on e-mail. All after, the waiting for the day to come.

I've been talking about 'Da Plan' but have not explained it, ha??? Ok, so the plan was to have a gathering at Ape's favorite restaurant, which is Applebee's (that we know FER sure, right Molls!!??) Of course, we wanted for her friends in Sac to join us and family as well. Manly that was the deal, at the end it did not work that way, but just keep reading and you’ll find out what happened.

Chapter 2 - Liar, liar
You don't know how bad I felt for April when I read her blog on her b'day ,,, she certainly needed a lift of spirit ,,, when I spoke to her on the phone, even her voice sounded bombed ,,, man I wished I could say something encouraging, or at least to keep her alive until the weekend ,,, but all I could say was that I had to work the entire LONG weekend!! DAMMIT!! LIAR X 74857848593485987 ,,, Just part of the plan ,,, and it worked. On the other hand ,,, Molls' endless assistants to her moms at those fun events that we yet to go one of these days ,,, convinced the Apes to spend her b'day weekend by herself. Days later I read at her blog that she wanted to go out of town during the long weekend ,,, and I started freaking out ,,, nevertheless; THANK GOD FOR MOTHERS PERSUASION!!!! Julie e-mailed me stating that she managed to keep Apes in town due to a service they had to attend on Sunday ,,,, so that gave me a sigh of relief ,,, I was soooo anxious for Saturday to be here already.

Chapter 3 - 1st part of the Plan - get to Lupes Place
Molly drove up to my place at time record ,,, she got to my house at 4:30 AM. ,,, ahh yes, you read that right AGAIN!!! ,,, couldn't expect less from her!!!! ,,, She calls me around 11:00 pm. Friday night, and tells me that she was barely getting up from her well deserve nap ,,, that she was going to drive into Visalia in a few ,,, I told her that was cool with me ,,,, she also said ,,, 'Lupes, if you want, just go to bed and as soon as I get there, I'll call you on your cell' ,,, sure enough 5 hrs. later ,,, my phone rang confirming that the Molls was waiting for me to open the door.

The original plan was to surprise April at dinner time ,,, but since we were going to stay only Saturday and Sunday in Sac ,,, we thought that lunch will give us more time with the b'day girl ,,, so we were supposed to leave Visalia around 10:00 am. ,,, the good part was that Molls and I managed to leave my place even before 10:00 am ,,, but what delayed our schedule was the factomatinariportunoctios cake I bought for Apes ,,, the waited was extended for almost an hr. and a half ,,, and paraphrasing Molls words 'That damn cake is worth the waiting' ,,, finally the 'contact' brought in the factomatinarioportunoctios cake out of the trunk (j/k) and us in our marry way to Sac. Oh, but wait ,,, do you think the 4:30 am arrival and cake delay was hilarious???? Keep reading ,,, if you are Mexican, you know that when you buy anything 'homemade', you are lucky if the tray, container, or whatever you buy is included with the food and/or dessert, as a typical cake maker, she was entitled to bring the cake ,,, don't even think a box will be provided ,,, so here we are Molly and myself carrying the cake back and forth ,,, and there was NO way in this crazy world that I was going to hold that baby for 3 hrs. on my hands ,,, so what to do??? We needed to go to a bakery and buy a box ,,, we hit it to nearest Save Mart and went straight to the bakery section, asked politely for a box to be sold for our beautiful cake ,,, the ladies was like 'sure, let me ask how much it cost' ,,, she calls a second lady ,,, this one starts searching for the price ,,, after a few ,,, she tells us that she is not ALLOWED to sell their supplies ,,, I could see Molls eyes rolling over ala 'exorcist' ,,, we asked ourselves ,,, why selves, why??? Why 'Mexican cake makers' don't provide boxes for the factomatinarioportunoctios cake!!! ,,, After having our moment ,,, we went up to one of the employees that was 'pretending' to work (tee heee hee j/k) ,,, once again, we explained our situation ,,, and kind enough he went back to the warehouse to look up a box for our cake ,,, he comes out with the 'perfect' size ,,, we almost kissed the guy and left to continue our odyssey ,,, ohhh ,,, this does not end here ,,, Molls had the greatest idea on what to get April as a present ,,, she suggested to get a bouquet of flowers and put some gift card in between flowers ,,, we were going to put those gift cards on 'card holders' that these type of arrangements come with ,,, so here we are now at the flower section ,,, with our kick ass box for the cake ,,, Molls searched through the flowers ,,, and finds the perfect floral arrangement ,,,, she looks around for the card holders and realizes that there are NO extra card holders to take with us ,,, so what does ghetto Lupe do??? Well ,,, starts taking 'others' arrangements card holders and putting them inside the kick ass box ,,, perfect, I said to myself ,,, as Molls rushed to the register to pay for the beautiful arrangement ,,, I was waiting for her at the end of the register with our kick ass box for our cake and our 'borrowed' card holders I had inside the box ,,, and as a moron one can be ,,, the stupid kick ass box slips off my hands ,,, and ,,, yes ,,, the card holders fell off the kick ass box as well ,,, as 'classy' as I am ,,,, I got down ,,, picked up the card holders, put them back inside the kick ass box ,,, waited for Molls to sign the receipt ,,, and as soon as she walked towards me ,,, we busted in laughter ,,, yes all this fun and it was not even noon yet ,,, funny ,,, yeah that's what I thought so!!!!

Chapter 4 - 99 North - Our marry way to Sac
While driving on 99 North to Sac ,,, we saw so many interesting people, animals, cemeteries and many other 'unusual' scenarios ,,, everything went well ,,, until we got to Sac ,,, I swear to God that every time I go to Sac, I get confused with the 80 business and the I 80 ,,, sweet Lord, what's wrong with me??!!?? Molls was all cool driving back and forth on one of the eighties (can't 'member which one anymore!!) ,,, when we thought that we were on the right track ,,, we realized that Reno was ahead of us ,,, we got back on the other side of I 80 ,,, drove into town AGAIN ,,, and finally got to our destination ,,, we arrived to Apes place ,,, mmmm around 5:00 pm. ,,, the Apes comes down the stairs and sees us in confusion and loopiest <----Is that even a word??? She really was surprised ,,, which was the intention ,,, we hugged her, sang happy b'day and hit it to Buca's ,,, cuz da Molls and da myself were STARVING to dead ,,, the rest ,,, you read it already ,,, if not read right HERE.

Chapter 5 - Da End
I tell you ,,, those two crazy mofos ,,, wait a minute ,,, I think this time Molls and myself were the crazy mofos ,,, anyhow ,,, those two have become very close friends to me ,,, and as we spend time together ,,, I learn and share special and not that special moments in their lives ,,, thank you MOFOS for being who you are ,,, I'm looking forward to MANY insane trips like this past weekend ,,,

LOVE YA MOFOS!!!!
