Well, Darren the Dashing and Heather the Hillarious strucked again (teamed with Becky the Broken). In a pre-emptive retaliation strike, the trio made sure Brandi the Bold had a good birthday (yesterday). How can this been a retaliation strike when Brandi didn't do anything? This is a pay-back that should have been a direct result from Heather's birthday party. Yes, Brandi was not there, but don't let that fool you. She'll get you so good and so quick that she warrents a pre-emptive strike.

Without a lot of details, Brandi's birthday weekend wasn't what she had wanted. Not knowing this, the trio set their plans in action. Earlier in the week, Becky the Broken did a recon visit to a local bakery. Details: One red-velvet black bear cake with Texas Longhorns orange bow-tie. Heather the Hillarious checked KP supplies. Inventory: Mexican food. Darren the Dashing scouted the area. Result: one mowed yard. (HEY!!! Keep up with me. This was a very crucial part). During the scouting of the area, Darren the Dashing had a evolutionary idea. Instead of decorating the inside of HQ, why not decorate the outside of Brandi the Bold's cabin? Reported back with command and Operation Cabin Hide was a GO! Within 24 hours, the logistics and recon was prepared. End result: Happy Birthday greeting on the driveway; Happy Birthday streamer across garage door and front door; balloons strategically placed on front porch. Casulaties: two wasps nest eradicated; one balloon was lost to hostile roof.

Debrief: Brandi's bad several days melted into uncontroled laughter (don't ask her about my thoughts about the blue balloons). It was a good thing it was hot. Her one lone tear evaporated before it was acknowledged it was there. Until next time.... do you know where your snake is?
