twenty three is going to be a great year

i can tell

friday evening i clambered into my best friend's hot little car to find roses, a card and a tiara made of blinking LED lights. oh joy :}

we met up with jeremiah and marshall at the sports bar and i proceeded to see if i could possibly get alcohol poisoning, which apparently i can't. despite what seems to have been my best effort - with 16 shots, six beers and vanilla vodka burning a hole in my liver.

as embarrassed as i am now, i can't overlook the fact that i had a table full of people there to take care of me. and that means alot. i mean ... i'm pretty sure i was ungodly and ridiculous not long after eleven oclock, and they still love me. my heart is just full with how happy i am there were people to celebrate with and to laugh off my embarrassing moments

the next day (sat which was my actual birthday) found me shrugging off a hangover from hell to meet my coworkers at chili's for lunch. how very grown up i felt having a lunch with my department. we're a tight little bunch in IMS and i love it, adore them

i had to work for a tid bit after that, but nothing terrible ... an hour or two to 'roll' the college games.

then back home o my wonderful boys whom i live for. michael surprised me with a shopping spree for new clothes since i've lost some weight and nothing fits, and then we three had chocolate cake in the warm and lavender scented house.

i had a great birthday, with great people to celebrate with.

i'm a very lucky girl and i'm looking forward to the year ahead.

best birthday ever :]
