I just wanted to post some birthday wishes to one of my LJ friends. kat_nic I hope you are having a wonderful day!  It would be nice if you were able to have a day off from work (please tell me this is so!) 

Thanks again to kat_nic for the wonderful birthday brownies! I do believe that when you open a restaurant or a bakery I will most definitely be one of your first customers!  They are pretty amazing (especially the raspberry and walnut ones).  Who knew fruit could be so good in chocolate?  ;)

My birthday was pretty much amazing, though.  A couple of close friends threw me a party, which was well attended, and I was so hung over the next day that I couldn't open my eyes because the light was killing me.  Not to mention, my best friend came for a visit.  I also received the most amazing Kitchen-Aid blender on the market.  I crushed ice in it just because it has a setting for that.  :)

I also was lucky enough to see most of my family a couple of days before the birthday.  We had a nice visit...and Chipotle.  It was mighty good.

Although I did have to freeze half of my cake--there was simply too much to eat all at once. 

I woke up extremely ill this morning. I have been in bed all but three hours today. I cannot form complete sentences; nor can I move quickly. I think I have a zombie plague...

I have a head cold (at least), but I feel drunk, I have vertigo, I am feverish, and my throat hurts so badly that I can hardly speak/swallow/breathe without feeling pain.

I am going back to bed now.

Oh and my roommates are throwing a kegger tonight for one of their birthdays.

At midnight I turn 29.  I have nothig prophetic to say, no words of wisdom.  In fact, I have nothing at all to say.  This birthday is going to be kinda lame.  No plans other than eating Chinese food, and possibly seeing SuperBad.

My friend Simon visited a while back and brought me an interesting birthday present: 



I was shocked when I noticed that the bottles of ghetto wine were color-coordinated with the picnic basket's cloth nearly made me laugh until I died.  You see, in undergrad I was a sometimes drinker of MD 20/20.  This was in the time before I turned 21.  After that, I switched to much more sxpensive beer.  Sad to say that a pint of beer was twice as expensive as an entire bottle of ghetto wine.

Still, the thought was pretty nice.  It took me back to a time when things were simple and the alcohol was extremely cheap.  :)
