So I gotta say that my 28th birthday celebration (yes, I know, I'm old. :P) has been the best of my life so far!!! My wonderful and ever so amazing boyfriend organized a surprise party with the help of our friends Kristy and Leslie. Boy was I surprised! Even my brother showed up!!! It was so fuck*ng amazing! I truly wanna thank everyone who showed up for making me feel so wholesome and so fuck*ng special and loved! You guys are amazing and I'm so glad that you are in my life! I could never thank you guys enough: Joe, my brother, Kristy, Leslie, Bridget, Anne, Chachi, Ana, Jen (thank you both for showing up even though you were so damn sick!), Shawn, MikeE & Dwayne! Kristy thanks for making me the ever-so-awesome cake! Holy sh*t! I had a boobs cake, ha! ha! ha! You guys are seriously the fuck*ng best! I almost felt guilty for feeling so loved and then I realized that I would have done the same for you guys, so it's cool! It sucks that Ileana couldn't make it, but she had a big show that night, so I understand.
Kristy and Leslie put up decorations at Rock Bottom while Joe made me a wonderful candle-lit dinner at home and danced with me to Sinatra and Martin. Afterwards, he said that we were gonna go out to get some tiramisu... I told him I was full, but he insisted, so we walked over to what was supposed to be Macaroni Grill, but it's not there anymore, so he said, "let's just go in here" and we were walking through Rock Bottom all the way to the back room and I still didn't think anything of it, all of a sudden I heard, "SURPRISE" and felt someone hugging me from the back, I turned around and it was my brother! I was seriously shocked! *LOL* Afterwards, Joe, Kristy, Shawn and I went to... well, where else?! The strip joint! HA! HA! HA! It was awesome!!! I even ran into my hairdresser there! I had such a blast! I somehow ended up naked on my bathroom floor, but hell it was the best night EVER!
Sunday, I ate junkfood and slept! I took Monday and Tuesday off. On Monday, Joe and I went into the city and went to the museums and the botanic gardens and chinatown and then I had a doctor's appointment. In the evening we went to Daks in Mt. Vernon to visit our favorite bartender, coincindently that location is closing as well and it was her last night working there. We left there early because I had to get up early the next day for Derrick's surgery. :( His surgery went well, but we were at the hospital the whole freaking day because after the 45 minute surgery they could not get his heart rate and blood pressure back to normal. He was in so much pain they had to give him two shots of morphine. My poor little guy! I felt so bad for him. It was such a long day for me.
As masochistic as it sounds I was kinda looking forward to coming back to work on Wednesday. Work was super fuck*ng busy, but that's okay because the 3 days of work I had left went by super fast. Next thing I knew, it was Friday night and I was hanging out at Kristy's and Leslie's in Oakton. I love their new place! I had to get up super fuck*ng early on Saturday to go to church with my brother and my mom to get ready for Derrick's baptism next month. Ugh, that sucked! I came home and did some dishes and tried to clean up some while Kristy and Joe were out finishing up lunch and getting booze at the store. They came home and we hung out at home watching bad movies and drinking delicious green shots! We were all so beat from the night before. *L* Yesterday Joe and I stayed home and did homework...our spring break is over! Boooo!
Speaking of spring, we're two days away from the first day of spring and it's still fuck*ng cold out, what gives?!
Anyhow, so far this has been an enlightening year. I've already figured out a few things about me and about the way I want my life to go and I do dare say that I'm pretty fuck*ng lucky to have such an amazing person as my significant other and I hope to keep surrounding myself with such amazing people as the ones I spent my b-day with in the future.
