my bday

[joycie21]

So my 23rd birthday...it didn't start off the greatest..I woke up at like 4am with a terrible headache, which kept me up till 6am...arg! The other bad thing, it was snowing!!! Then when I finally got up I wanna say around 11ish, Connie made me open the gift from her...which is this super cute Tinkerbell ornament...its like a porcelin one. Looks expensive. We munched, sat around, I laid down for a nap, Connie, Grandma, Grandpa and Dad all left around 2 to head to LaCrosse, to look at Home Depot for some stuff. Mom and I left around 3:15 to go pick up Tina and headed to the Outback. We got there, they had basically just opened so we got seated right away, everyone else came, and the only person we had to wait for was David. We ordered and shortly after he came. He made me open the present he got me shortly after, which he got me...Hidalgo, Face/Off, one of my Faery books and 3 candles. We ate.....I got my free bday ice cream and was sang to, and we all left very stuffed. We got back into Winona, dropped off Tina and headed home. Where we had cake, and I showered and got ready to go. We ended up running kinda late...but we got to Tina's and I opened my gift from her. She got me a Playboy Bunny Martini Glass, a candle and my faery calander. Then we took a couple pix and headed out. Shai was still at work, but said he'd call me, we went and picked up Diane and headed to Gabby's. Which is where everyone from work was suppose to meet me, but we sat there for an hour and no one showed up, I sent Molly a text message...she claimed to be sick...and I didn't have the other girls numbers in my phone. But they all have mine, so if they couldn't make it they should have called. While at Gabbys I had my first Jagerbomb...even though it was made wrong, and also got my free bday drink. But then we headed to Brothers, which was super empty, but I got my free drink there...beer...which Diane mostly drank. Shai and his roomie Dan finally showed up, Shai bought me a drink, plus all of us a T-Bomb shot. They didn't stay long though, cuz they had someone else to go see. So we headed over to Schydes cuz Maggie and David were on their way. We got there and it was also empty, but we ran into them, David bought me a yummy Strawberry Cheesecake shot...along with a sex on the beach. We stood around making fun of guys that couldn't dance, and then I saw 3 people from work!! Shar, Crystal and Warsame! So I went over to them, Warsame flipped out, and when he found out it was my bday he had to drag me to the bar! lol. Then he had to take me on the dance floor. He's a pretty good dancer...haha. I had to get pix with everyone....we ended up leavin Schydes before it closed...I kept getting calls, and missing them so I wanted to go to the car to listen to the voicemails I had. Which I freaked out cuz it had been Dan from Illinois calling me!! He was using someone else's phone though, so I called Chris and he wasn't with him anymore...so I told him to tell him I was sorry I didn't answer. We ended up going over to George's across the river...stayed long enough for me to get a drink, and then headed back. Tina drove me home...I stayed up for awhile talking to mom, then called Steffie to apologize for not being able to talk while I was out. Then I finally crashed.
Here's some photos from the evening....

Overall it was a good birthday...I had fun. :)

Today all of us, plus David, Maggie and Tina went to see Harry Potter 4. It was a good movie. We came home and ate and now Mom, Connie and grandma and grandpa are playing Dominos while I sit and do this. I told them I'd play cards with them later. I'm sleepy though...so I need something to do. haha I think everyone is leaving tomorrow now, mom and I will go grocery shopping and get pix developed. I'm not ready to go back to work on Monday...at least I know I'll only be working overtime on Friday....Santa's Day on Sat and then going to Lacrosse to do some shopping. but i'm gonna leave it at that.....
