Anyways, the party was a hoot and I don't think I poisoned anyone, so, bonus:) Everyone dressed to the nines and I *hope* everyone had a good time! After an epic shopping trip to Sam's and Meijers on Friday, I spent most of Saturday cooking and cleaning. Luckily I had some excellent helpers and Jon was awesome (and infinitely patient) and spent a good chunk of the day helping me get stuff ready after already having been dragged on said epic shopping trip. The iDJ contest went well, lots of people brought entries and in the end, Wife's crown went to Jon and Husband got second place, which isn't shabby at all:)
Here are a few photos from the night:
I still can't quite belive how much gin we drank...and I have the feeling that I am responsible for drinking a good portion of it (hence the pounding headache the next day). Husband and Wife got me a fabulous red purse and a Rolling Stone book which will be wonderful reference material for my writing. I got a number of other fun things as well, including an iTunes gift certificate from Ben & Jessica with the caveat that I "don't spend it all on emo music," which made me laugh quite a bit. (Does Fall Out Boy count as emo? If so, I better figure out something non-emo to spend the rest of it on;) The night ended a little weird, for reasons I'd rather not go into at the moment but I think some of it was in my head and partly because I'm generally a bit paranoid, partly because I had been drinking vast quantities of gin and partly because the last time I looked at the clock it was 6am... things are good though, so no complaints.
My "real" birthday wasn't terribly exciting (at least compared to the night before) but it was a good day once I was able to get rid of the feeling my head was going to explode. It was pretty great though that I didn't have school on Monday because of an "energy incentive day" (aka-the school is trying to save money on heating) and then ANOTHER day off (unplanned) because it was so damn cold. Of course after getting spoiled by a four day weekend, I really was hoping school would get called off today, but no such luck. Oh well:)
It looks like it should be another fun weekend, if not quite as crazy as last weekend. I'm heading out to dinner with Wife and Mindy for some girl time on Friday (mmm, Prickly Pear...yum) and then Saturday I get to see Dora, one of my college roommates whom I haven't seen in years. She'll be in town for a wedding so we're going to meet up for brunch which should be a lot of fun. I can't wait to hear what all she's been up to! Sunday I'm probably having a birthday lunch with Elana since she couldn't make it to the party. I'm also trying to decide if I want to brave the Magic Stick on Saturday night for the Fall of Troy show. I'm a bit hesitant because I'm 100% sure a few of my students will be there and I don't want to seem like a stalker...maybe I can con Harry into going...
So, all in all, it was a good birthday with few complaints. I really feel like things are kinda coming together in various areas of my life. I've got some awesome friends who came into my life within the last six months as well as some old friends who I can't imagine life without. Ok, lest I get too sentimental, I better go:) Can't have too much sap in one day.
Peace out, starving nachos.

Listening to: Fall Out Boy, "Infinity on High"
PS-I totally forgot, as always, a number of quotes were written down. I'll include some in the next post. There were a few great ones.
