One of my loveliest friends had a birthday coming up AND she was in desperate need of some r&r.... We busted into her house playing Wilson Phillips "Hold On" and had the effect you recognize when you've genuinely surprised someone– shock and maybe a little bit of terror. Surprise! Lady's trip to the desert! Over 10 people managed not to blow this secret for almost two months! There were some close calls with significant others but we persevered.
**It should be noted that I am either very early or I'm late. I'm working on it. I almost blew the surprise by being SO EXCITED that I showed up nearly an hour early and had to park blocks away in case she came outside. Then to kill time I went to get a coffee which took so long I was almost late... ANY WAY. She had no idea we had anything planned and our dear friend flew into town to surprise her!
Then we were off! Cue: Desert Vibes. A stunning house and pool... Cheeseboards. Massage guns. Facials. Hot tub. No children. No spouses. Just friends who've known each other for so long that I won't list the number because it contradicts my fake age.
Long live the birthday girl!
