Officially it was my birthday yesterday. Yay! Another year old, and another year wiser I say. Since I am a firm believer in the idea that knowledge is power and that being wise is the ability to use information effectively I don’t mind another birthday. The festivities actually started last weekend when I went to the Detroit auto show. That was my dad’s big idea he wanted to do for his birthday so I obliged him.
Yesterday in keeping with the tradition I had begun in high school where to my delight one year, it was a blizzard the night before my birthday. It snowed all though the night and well into the morning dumping many inches of snow. So much snow fell in fact that they cancelled school! How excited I was to be able to say that school was canceled for my birthday. It was one of the best birthdays ever.
Unfortunately, even though the greater Grand Rapids area public schools were closed for my birthday, the university was not. The elementary and high school kids thank me still. Sadly I still had to attend my one class in the snowy nastiness. But despite my frustration of having to go to school on my birthday I made it though class and began celebrating my day. I went to dinner with my friend Holly and later that night went to the bar with another friend of mine, AJ, where we spent the rest of the night chatting with the bar tender until 1am. Good times were had by all and I even got a couple of free drinks out of it. Depressingly, no one wanted to come home with me. I will have to start investing in just for men.
This weekend brings another round of festivities. I will head up to Traverse City as it has been far too long since my last visit. I plan to drink and be merry yet again in celebration of my birthday. There is a new restaurant that my mom wants me to try out and I hear that there will be a few drinks bought in my honor by a few friends who will be around as well. It sounds like a good time to be had.
Sunday I will head back to Grand Rapids to have dinner yet again with another friend whom was sadly indisposed all week and was unable to help celebrate my birthday. He insisted that we have dinner and then perhaps catch a movie. Who am I to argue with dinner and a movie, especially when the movie is Cloverfield? I hear it’s an excellent movie. I cannot wait to see it.
Making out is fun.
