It was the last weekend of my birthday month and I almost feel like a half an ounce of relief. I’m just so tired and the birthday month celebrations weren’t helping with that and I’m pretty sure that if I kept making a huge deal of it the celebrations could’ve continued. Maybe, but I’m not really that sure. I’m just going to assume that they would and, since I will never really know for sure, assume that I’m right.

Friday was the concert with Freddy and Good Charlotte. Freddy kicked some butt and Good Charlotte rocked it out. Then I was off to my apartment for the big house party that Keith organized. I was in route to my apartment at 11:02PM and only one person had showed up at that point. So I get on the phone and managed to round up 10 people (I think) to come over. We played Guitar Hero and talked. They did beer bongs and swam. I didn’t do the beer bong. I don’t really see how those are sanitary or safe or why anyone would want to touch their mouth to the same tube that 8 people before them had touched. I looked at the pictures of everyone else doing it, but I never actually witnessed it first hand. It was fun and I came in second place in the big tournament. Super Steve pretty much kicked my butt and won 1^st. Oh well. Can’t win them all. By 3:45AM on Saturday morning I called it quits and went to bed. Keith and the rest of the people went to the pool for about an hour, but I couldn’t fall asleep. By the time he came back and got everyone to lay down on the couch and had asked Greg no less than 47 times if he wanted a blanket and a pillow I was out of patience. I swore that my head would combust if I heard him ask one more time, so I just got up to take care of it. But Keith STILL would not shut up and go to bed, so I was over it. I finally got everyone to lay down and try to sleep and then I went back to bed.

On Saturday we got up and had Steak and Shake and it was off to the Saturday birthday celebration. My sister did a pool party at her apartment. It was fun. We just hung out and cooked and had beer and that was about it. I couldn’t stay that long because that night was the Kathy Griffin show. I LOVE her. I went home to shower and Chelsea picked me up and we went and got pizza and headed to Casey’s house. We took a cab to Nokia because nobody wanted to worry about having to drive. Josh met up with us later on and was official DD. Kathy went for about two and a half hours and then we went to Barcadia. It was packed and a total beating, so then it was off to the Regal Beagle. We just kind of sat around and talked until they kicked us out of the place. I went to buy drinks for everyone at one point and some lady with heels made of pointy steel stepped on my toe and now it’s all discolored and swollen and gross. She didn’t even realize she had done it, so I guess I can’t hold too much of a grudge. Or I can and just try and say that I’m not. Why do women wear siky heels made of steel to the bar? She knew she would be drinking and that there would be crowds of people. There’s no way those things were comfortable and she wasn’t hot and the spiky shoes made of steel didn’t do her any favors. So why bother?

Sunday I got up early to take my little sister to the baby expo. There’s so much baby stuff to be had. And so many people who will embroider all the stuff for you. Sam is due in December and doesn’t even know the sex of the baby yet, so we didn’t buy anything. Just signed up for a bunch of stuff. I took her to lunch and then to the mall because I lost another pair of sunglasses and needed new ones. I swear if I lose this pair I’m going with cheap ones. I had to go lame grocery shopping and shower and do laundry and was in bed around 11pm last night. Not too bad, I guess.

Tonight is kickball and then tomorrow night is tennis. Wednesday it’s off to DJ school through Saturday. Yay that.
