Master's Birthday Weekend
Master’s brother is so cool. He must be the world’s nicest, most altruistic guy. Thursday was Master’s 53rd birthday so deidre and His brother, K, planned a big surprise for Him.
Thursday night deidre made Master a “wonderful” dinner of baked herb-crusted salmon, a nice crisp green salad, a loaded baked potato, rice pilaf and white wine. For dessert deidre made Master’s favorite cake, German chocolate with coconut pecan frosting from scratch accompanied by Godiva’s raspberry chocolate truffle ice cream. We/we normally eat fairly simply so it was a nice change for Master to have deidre be His little kitchen slut, slaving away all day for His meal. And honestly, deidre really enjoys cooking for Him especially when He is as pleased with His meal as He was with this one. He didn’t really want to do much, just take it easy and relax for the rest of the night.
Somehow He found out about the surprise that K and deidre had planned, but didn’t let on to K so it wouldn’t ruins K’s fun. Earlier in the week K sent deidre a package with a Law and Order DVD and a plush Eeyore (deidre’s a big fan of both) The poor Eeyore needed an emergency ticketectomy though. Before he was mailed down, K had opened him up, inserted 2 baseball tickets and the sewn him back up. Using a Trojan Eeyore was the only way that we could think of to get the tickets here without Master knowing.
Friday night deidre took Master to Tropicana Field so that We/we could watch the Devil Rays and Braves game. Just when the game was about to start K showed up to surprise Master. Master wasn’t supposed to know that K was flying down, or that K had purchased game tickets. He pretended to be surprised, but didn’t really pull it off very well. Master is not anywhere near being “the great pretender”
The game was great. Both teams scored runs in the first inning then nothing until the very end scoring just enough to keep themselves tied into 2 extra innings when finally the Braves won. Master had decided early on to root for Tampa Bay, deidre for the Braves and of course K is for the Braves since they are his home team. It’s probably not a very slavelike thing, but it was still fun to niggle at Master saying “ha ha, you lost and we won” afterward. By the time We/we got home it was almost midnight so E/everyone went to bed.
Saturday was supposed to be a surprise too, but Master already knew most of it. We/we slept in a little and deidre made fresh banana bread muffins for breakfast. Then K got out some remote controlled pool toys that he brought for Master. They went out to the pool and played with their boats and sharks until about 2. Then it was time to get ready to go and see The Da Vinci Code. deidre doesn’t get why so many of the reviews that she read were bad. she loved this movie. Granted it’s been almost 3 years since she read the book and she’s forgotten most of it. Master and K liked it too.
The best part of the day was afterward. K asked Master what there was to do that was fun near BayWalk and Master answered “The Pier” We/we walked down there and hung out for a little while, then Master decided He was hungry and that We/we should get something to eat. He suggested one of the restaurants there. It was awesome to see the surprise on His face when We/we went in and said that We/we had reservations for 3. K and deidre couldn’t have planned it better if we had tried.
After dinner we came home and had more cake and ice cream then Master and K went out to get into the hot tub. deidre can’t go in ‘cause of her piercings, but was allowed to dangle her feet into the water for a little while before We/we all headed inside and to bed.
Today was a lazy day. It rained and there was thunder and lightening so We/we really did nothing but sit around chatting and watching the rain. K left so that he could catch his flight a little while ago so Master’s Birthday weekend is officially over.
It’s good to be back to normal, speaking in 3rd person, Calling Him “Master” and being naked. deidre will spend the rest of tonight working, trying to play catch up for the time she missed over the weekend and for the time she will miss while she’s in California and getting things ready for her trip on Wed morning.
