Birthday Weekend

I would like to thank everyone for the birthday wishes!! While most of you are on the other side of the Ocean celebrating I was in good ole Allentown ringing in the 21st. But dont you all fret, I was not alone. My new roommates were there to help bring in the big birthday! Sarah and Liz decided that they would get me dressed up to go out. Of course no complaints by me, after all I love to watch make-over/model shows so why not let someone else doll me up for a bit. We decided on what was a modern 1950's pin-up girl style (i had leopard print flats and a flower in my mess of a hairdo). Of course the night Feb 4th (the night before my b-day) started with drinking some Yellowtail, a staple beverage in 2235-101. And well most of you reading this know I'm a bit of lightweight, so starting off the night with 2 glasses of wine before heading to a bar was not a good idea for me. While getting ready we decided to BLAST a little Brit-Brit, hopefully the girlies upstairs and nextdoor enjoyed listening to our music as much as we enjoy listening to theirs. So eventually around 12:30 Liz and I made it over to The Tarvern on Libery (AKA Woody's) where Sarah was gonna meet up with us. I got carded which was exciting since they wished me a happy birthday and gave me a free 21st b-day T-shirt. They helped me pick out some beer, a raspberry wheat? Now I planned on only having that one beer since I already had the 2 glasses of wine, and had a small dinner 7 hours prior. However that did not occur. I somehow managed to start talking to some random townies who told me that I needed to try a different beer and bought me and the roomates a round and started talking to us. Then Stacy came in and saw me and decided she needed to buy me a beer as well. So somehow my "I'm only having one drink" turned into a few more. I saw some other people stumble in after their night at 100 days and hung out with them.
We eventually made it back to the house and of course I pulled out my camera and took some rather interesting photos that I dont think I want to put on the internet. Anyway I think I made it to bed sometime after 3 am. Alas I didnt fall asleep, I spent most of the night totally sick with a bucket by my side. I must say I do have some great new roommates cause Liz stayed in bed with me most of the night. My next morning was not much better, feeling exhausted and still sick to my stomach I decided not to skip class and went to the first 1/2 of my drawing class came back and went to sleep.
Eventually I felt much better and came home to celebrate my b-day with my family. When I got home I opened up a package from Eric, red roses and a stuffed sad-puppydog holding a heart. Thanks love! Then my ma, pa and bro went to this restaurant called Martini's and I got myself a Pineapple-Upside-Down-Martini. It was quite delish! After that we came home and ate a GIGANTIC birthday cupcake, chocolate cake with strawberry frosting-my fav! My parents got me 21 random gifts: A totebag, A shotglass, a mini-bicardi my mother bought in Peuto Rico 2 years ago, 21 quarters, 21 hershey kisses, a Pedi-Egg, nail polish, travel tissues, insence, Sybil (the book), a pack of gum, a scarf, pj's, 2 shirts, a lunch date, a movie date, chocolate bar, Hello Kitty Pez and The Dirty Dancing workout video!! It was quite exciting.
The rest of my weekend is pretty chill. I ran some errands including getting my new lisence! I also went to see He's Just not That into You, it was rather cute. And my cuz's took me out to Friday's get a drink. Overall I must say even tho my most of my nearest and dearest were not with me it turned out to be a good time.

Catch ya laters
