Shuffleboard
Last night at midnight Addrienne and I went to TOP Foods where I bought a Bottle of Bitch (which tastes like shit by the way but I liked the bottle. We then went to first street in pursuit of an open bar on a Tuesday night. We decided on the one next to where Wired used to be. We then ordered Vodka Sevens and tried to figure out how to play shuffleboard. Eventually this nice lady came up and actually taught us how to play. It was a pretty fun game and we had a good time. I also got to rip open the beautiful hand painted wrapping paper that surrounded my birthday presents from Addrienne...Of course I enjoyed the presents as well...a plate and a bowl with butterflies, some chocolate and a book about a rouge toothfairy.
So far...this is the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!!!
