I had such an awesome birthday weekend that I dont even know where to begin. I guess I could start by saying that this is the first birthday in about 5 years that I didnt cry for one reason or another, that's always a plus. Not that I cry a lot, probably about 2 or 3 times a year, but there's something about birthday stress/getting lost in the holiday rush that has sparked many tears in the past. Anyways, I am the luckiest girl because I have the best friends in the world.
Saturday night me Lauren and Jenny made a kickass birthday dinner, then I had a party at my house. A bunch of my friends stayed an extra night in EL just to come here and celebrate my birthday, which really meant a lot to me. Then there were the people like my brother, Katie, Steve, Kevin, Dan, Ken, etc who drove all the way up here in a snow storm. It was really great to have all my favorite people in one place. Oh and I got 3 cakes for my bday too, yay.
For some reason, I felt that it wouldnt be a birthday without shitty, cheap ass beer (hi life) and cheap champagne. All night I was scared shitless about what was going to happen to me at midnight (I LOVE YOU ALL BUT I DONT TRUST ANY OF YOU hehe). Around 11:30 I changed out of my skirt and into jeans, I dont know exactly what I thought was going to happen to me, but I was pretty worried. Somehow, I managed to escape with an ant piling, and everything in my kitchen being flipped upside down (literally everything in my cupboards and my toaster and stuff, Thanks Katie and Heidi). I ran around the house shortly after with no shoes or socks on in the snow.
Around 1:30 everyone wanted me to go on a beer run. Upon arriving at QD I slipped on a wet spot, caught my balance on a rack of wine... knocked a bottle on the ground (which somehow, by the grace of god, did NOT break). Awesome first experience buying alcohol. I am sweet...YEAH. I wasnt even that wasted either, Im just a dumbass. We all passed out around 5am, bodies sprawled all around my house. I think we all had a blast. We woke up in the am and went to Tony's for breakfast. Then everyone left me and I went to sleep until bar time.
Since most of the EL bars were closed we decided to head out to Rum Runners. Before we even left for the bar I had about 6 beers and a shot of Smirnoff. At the bar I probably had 2 more beers and 4 or 5 shots (cant remember?) tequila, prarie fire, cement mixer, to name a few. Getting home is blurry, but I woke up still in my clothes and with the WORST hangover I have ever had in my life. I couldnt move, I thought I was dying and I didnt really get out of bed until 7:30.
Anyways, I appreciate everyone who made my birthday great. This includes phone calls, messages, emails whatever. Woo hoo Im 21
