21 celebration...

So we (as in Sam, Kyle, Allison, Ben, Colin, Moreen, Haley and Kristina) went out to Mint...this really sleek restaurant off of Interstate. It was pretty sweet! I had an awesome time spending time with my friends and such, but the service was so freaking slow. I mean there weren't even that many people in the restaurant. They should have been on us like peanut butter on the roof of your month! Sheesh...nevertheless, I had a good time! :)

1) Shot of Patron
Not too bad. Although my reaction was a straight face...seriously. I had no reaction whatsoever and I chugged it like champ! Yes! haha At first, Ben and I checked out the HUGE shot glasses. Really now, these glasses were unusually large, and the amount of liquid in them was immense. Then Allison and the rest of crew were getting restless and just wanted us to get it over with. So with Allison's lead, we downed the shot of patron...

It reminded me of Cognac, especially afterward when I could taste the nutty aftertaste. haha That was interesting. But yeah, are you supposed to have a funny face afterward? Hmmm...one's thing for sure, I turned pink fast. I look like I was blushing the whole night. haha What's that supposed to mean?

2) Tropical Punch

"It's FRUITY!" Indeed it was! It tasted just like juice...ah! Delicious! Too bad I freakin' SPILLED it when I was trying to get a napkin. OMG...I was devastated. Luckily they gave me another, but that one didn't taste quite as good. Sad day. We ate fried calamari and sweet potato fries (mmm....fried foods)!






3) Sweet Love
Coffee + Alcohol...with Pasta?! Yeah, not exactly the best combination ever. Really wasn't thinking when I decided to get that drink. Should have gotten something fruity...like Velvet or Bella. Oh well. NEXT TIME. So I just ate my pasta and drank the drink later. It was alright. It just taste like coffee (probably why I'm still up right now...darn caffeine).

After some of that, I had dessert - fondue, to be precise! It was good! Oh my goodness gracious me...I'm the biggest Chocoholic I know! Seriously, we were finishing off the fruits and cake you dip into the chocolate, and I just started eating the chocolate. Oh how I love it!! It even came with a candle. Cool huh? I just wanted the candle to glow, but they all wanted me to blow it out. I tried re-lighting it, but no such luck. Dessert was tasty...

Overall the restaurant experience was good! I had fun with my friends and they were really cool to hang out with, especially since we don't get to do that often.

I went back to the office and did some work. Good stuff! Got to see a couple folks, including Colton. I think he was hoping for me to be a little out of it, but whatev. I was fine, drinking water and everything. BUT then they all left me. I was alone in the office. How was I supposed to get back to Mehling?! Luckily, Andrew came in and I got a ride with him. However, he noticed I was a little different, saying that I talk too much and everything. GAH...not my fault. I just have a tendency to talk more when I have a little bit to drink. I also get really honest, which could be a good or bad thing. I hope he's still my friend tomorrow and the day after. But I guess time will only tell.

Alrighty, my clothes are waiting for me to fold or at least pile onto another location, so I can sleep...GOOD NIGHT! :)

21

Today's my 21st birthday!! :)

I don't feel any different, and I haven't done anything too out of the ordinary. I had to study for a huge test, which I don't think I did too well on. *sigh* I totally messed up and forgot to study essential parts of my notes! I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to drop this course, but we'll see. I have until Friday to decide...

ANYWAY, I feel like my friends are MORE excited about my 21st birthday than I am! They have been like:
1) Counting down the days.
2) Constantly reminding ME that my birthday is coming up.
3) Planning what we are going to do when I turn 21.
4) Randomly bring up that my birthday is soon.
5) Talk about alcoholic drinks (all in preparation, right?)
It's actually been pretty entertaining, watching them get all psyched about TODAY!

When I went to the office, Allison decorated my side of the room! It's SO COOL! There's pink and purple streamer coming off the lights as well as a HUGE High School Musical table cloth, draped over part of the lights to create a sign. Why it's High School Musical I'm not really sure...because I'm pretty sure Colton like that movie more than me. haha ANYWAY, my desk was covered with Post-ies thanks to Colton. There was also a soft pink bunny with Starburst jellybeans! It was quite a surprise when I walked in this morning as I was talking to my mom. So awesome though!! LOVE IT! :)

Alright, so I must continue getting my chores done before my birthday celebration tonight.

I just wanted to start a blog because when I was in NEW YORK over spring break, Meredith Vieira (yes, one of the anchors on the Today show) told my new friend Natalie and I that we should start blogging. This was not the first time I've heard this advice. My cousin Daphne told me the same thing. So here's to the start of a blog...I hope to keep it regularly updated.

Now...I'm off to doing some laundry and getting ready to celebrate my 21st year on Earth. WOO!
