My Birthday!!

This weekend we celebrated my 24th Birthday! I love birthdays :) Friday night (my actual birthday, I went out to eat with my Mom, Stephanie, and Brian - we went to Babbins for both of our birthdays (mine and my sisters). Food was delicious as always :) Thanks mom!!!

Saturday night I went out with my friends to celebrate. We went to Howl at the Moon - a dueling piano bar in Midtown - I had a BLAST! It was SO much fun and a bunch of my friends showed up... and they kept buying me shots... and more shots... and then they had me go up on stage and spin the 'wheel of death' (dont know if thats the real name of it, but it was the wheel of death to me!!!). It landed on 'Bartenders Choice' So basically a bunch of people from the audience started naming out different things and the bartender mixed them up and made a shot... well I could still kill the person who said tabasco sauce! I wanted to vomit right there on stage! it was the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted!! needless to say... I had enough shots at that point... being that can only handle one shot (on a good day) and I had already had 5+ I needed to go home....

YUP! I paid for it aaaaaaaall day Sunday... talk about the WORST hangover OF MY LIFE!!! I was running to the bathroom about every 45 minutes... not very fun... but Brian was a sweetheart and took care of me and got me anything I asked for - which was either ice chips or sprite! haha, I started feeling better around 4pm... today my throat is killing me, so I guess my body is STILL paying for it...


I included some pictures as the night progressed so that you can see in the beginning, I did look cute! haha

Pretending I'm a rockstar as I am dancing on stage

Not understanding whats going on anymore...

Taking the shot that pretty much killed me....
My face here explains it all...
Well I said I wanted to party extra hard for this birthday since I didnt celebrate it last year... My wish came true! BUT I had a GREAT time! Thanks to all of you who joined me!! I had a BLAST!! I love you all!!!!

You sure looked like you paid for it on Sunday. Hehe! I think we've all been there at some point or another. Glad you're feeling better now though. And in the future - JUST SAY NO (to bithday shots)!

I like how you've tried to piece together the evening. FYI: It was the piano girl that suggested the tabasco. And the pic with your arm raised...you are promising to do whatever the wheel said you had to do! HAHA! You're welcome for that! :)

Rachel, not pictures that your mom needed to see...maybe in the future you will learn not to take all the free shots your little body can't seem to hold...I am glad you had a fun time but when I saw you on Sunday I would say it wasn't worth it.

hmm... That's probably why I have no desire to drink. :)
