It looks like it is safe now. Waiting for someone to go to bed so we can start decorating can be very trying, don't you agree?

Where do you want this giant billboard-sized blow-up of the birthday girl? Are you sure we can get it in the room? I'm not sure the doorway is big enough

Did you pick up the streamers and confetti bags? Did you find anyone to help with those or are you going to stay up all night arranging them yourself? Once the confetti is in place, all we have to do to break it open is pull the string, right?

The balloon people promise that those balloons in the rafters will all drop on cue, or we don't have to pay for them (perhaps we need someone up there to guarantee that we won't pay for them). (I'm sorry about the printing mix-up on the balloons but I doubt anyone will look close enough to notice they say "Happy Birthday Bambi")

The flatbed truck carrying the giant card for everyone to sign is on its way, but it may be late. (They said something about such a wide-load requires temporary street closures.)

Where did you stash those neon-colored plastic uzi's? I think 20-gun nerf ball salute was a great idea and I'm sure she will be touched (but unbruised).

Is CW really jumping out the cake? Did Dan have any problem picking him up and putting him up in the hotel until tomorrow? You don't think she was suspicious when Dan was so late for dinner, do you?

And, no, I don't think a garlic-flavored cake is what she wants. Who is baking the cake, btw? Are we using the full count of candles? (Do we have a fire extinguisher and do the guests have a copy of the evacuation plan, if needed?)

Who is making the punch and can we trust them? (And if they don't spike it, do we have a back-up plan? What do you mean ask Lather about "better living with chemicals"?)

Should we test the lights? What about the sound system? Do you have a copy of that CD she has been listening to all week, or should we play that one of her own "Greatest Hits"? (Who has the complimentary ear plugs?)

When are the guests supposed to arrive? We did send out the invites, didn't we? I mean, an event like this only happens once a year, and we don't want anyone to miss Rambi's Birthday Blow-out Bash tomorrow, do we?
