Woke up at about 4:30am this morning. Showered, got dressed, grabbed all the stuff I needed and jumped into the car around 5am. Drove 30 minutes or so west to Manassas, my gf's house specifically. Stood outside the door quietly knocking on it trying to get her dad to wake up and let me in (without waking my gf up). He had promised to unlock the door at around 5:30am but apparently had a late night. He let me in (finally) around 5:50am, only was out there for about 15 minutes, not too bad. I haul all my junk into the kitchen and start slicing up the strawberries into a bowl (and washing them). Once I get that done I hunt around for a mixing bowl, not finding one I just grab a pot and throw stuff in there and mix it up. Then I slap the stuff down on to a cookie sheet and let it bake. Pull out the biscuit-like things, slice 'em open and stuff them with strawberry slices. Then I slap some cool whip on them and put on some more strawberries, tada! strawberry shortcakes! I take them downstairs to my gf's room and open the door and wake her up w/ breakfast in bed, pretty slick, eh? Okay, while things were baking upstairs I also took the really big bear I bought for her and put it at the top of the stairs (her room is in the basement) and put its arms out and place in its little hands a jewelry box with an emerald and diamond necklace in it. After we ate the strawberry shortcakes I head upstairs in front of her and she comes up after me and spots the bear and is suprised yet again. ;) Mwahahhahaa, it all rocked. I drove her to work this morning and then drove to work myself (30 minutes east, not too much traffic, amazingly). I'm about to head off to pick her up from work for lunch at noon and then I'll head back to my work, do some more stuff, and pick her up from work this afternoon (she loaned her car to her brother for about a week).

Oh, yeah, it's her birthday. ;)
