A/C, Internet, and Coffee

I've been ordered to blog despite my protestations of being utterly boring so you get to hear about the one weekend a year when I'm popular! Any of you facebook peoples have already gotten a preview.

Somewhere in this orgy of food and alcohol, I decided that I no longer had a reason to get older so I should just stop counting years. I'll be 25 until I have kids at which point I'll just be another old fart.

On with the show!

25 part 2 - 1 Week
The Death by Chocolate murder mystery doesn't actually contain chocolate! It does, however, contain feather boas, a peg leg, and lots of audience participation. Scanned pictures coming, well, never because I'm not sure how to operate our scanners. Sorry! Also, "clever" or "funny" reviews earn a free bottle of champagne!

The biggest piece of cake I've ever seen. Times 2. The lovely Becky and I had cake at the Dessert Gallery. The cake was forgettable but the frosting was worth eating by itself. I got to relive childhood with a game of Chutes and Ladders (did you know there are little moral lessons in the game? Apparently pet shows: good. Riding your bike without hands: bad.) I was winning until I hit the big slide. LAME.

Sushi with the coworkers! They sang to me with a fish shaped tambourine and gave me a fried banana for dessert. I have a picture but I still don't know how to scan.

Dinner with my dad and his girlfriend, Shelly. My first beer was ready TODAY so I brought a couple bottles over to sample (Dad bought me the beer kit). I think it tasted like pine trees. It will also probably taste better after aging for another month or so. Also got to harass their kitties.

Also, I say "also" a lot because I don't know any better contractions.

25 part 2!
Leftover cake (ok, frosting) and champagne for breakfast! The champagne I won last weekend. Honestly, you get what you pay for... I mean, twist top champagne? Really?! OJ made it tolerable.

Shopping and lunch with the mom, mother in law, and sister in law! There's a little shop in the Village called Naked where you mix your own scent and they'll put it into bath products for you. It was pretty overwhelming. I left with a slight headache. Lunch was at Mi Luna. I love being able to try one of everything.

Late show at the Laff Stop! The host was actually kind of funny when he wasn't making vulgar jokes. Funniest joke of the night: I saw a bum with a sign that said "will work for food." So I gave him a coconut.

After party at the Guava Lamp. I heart the bartender. He gives free shots and makes up drinks for me on command. Strong drinks. Very very strong drinks. Which leads in to....

DRUNKEN INTERNETTING! The facebook posting... sorry guys. Really. And a drunken email to my friend/designated driver that I honestly don't remember. And a phone call to my Husband!! I remember talking to him and that's about it.

25 part 2 + 1 Day
Pedicures!... No, wait, something else first. Ok, worst idea of last night: putting the drunk girl in charge of setting the alarm for the next day. We were supposed to get pedicures at 10am. Remember drunk girl setting the alarm? I set it but didn't turn it on... oops! So rather than being there at 10am, I woke up at 10:40am. Thankfully, the wonderful girls at Fiori were able to squeeze us in at 11!

Post pedicure... SPEEDING TICKET. First one in 6 years. And here I thought I was doing so well. At least I can take defensive driving for it.

Holly's personal hangover cure: giant burrito from El Ray's. It's the right combination of carb-y and cheese-y without being greasy. And did I mention it's giant? Because that's not an exaggeration, I swear it weighs 3 pounds. This was supposed to be chocolate and cheese fondue at the Melting Pot but the fuckers aren't open on Super Bowl Sunday! LAMEx2!

And finally the Super Bowl party! Not birthday related but it just so happened that it capped off my weekend so it gets included as well. It involved a chocolate fountain (and it's accompanying 2+ cups of oil), lots of guacamole, falling asleep during half time, and Guitar Hero. For the record, Guitar Hero is harder than Rock Band. Because I know you kids care =)
