Party in the USA at a Chinese restaurant.

I survived my birthday party, barely. I had every intention of taking it easy but people kept buying me drinks and next thing I know I'm doing a shot of whiskey at the Tavern and dancing to Tears for Fears. I woke up feeling like death. Dave drove us back to his house for the super bowl so I slept in his bed all afternoon while he played video games and took care of me. I couldn't eat anything until about 5 p.m. Apparently I think I'm still 21. Needless to say I had a very sober Super Bowl. I couldn't look at a beer without feeling queasy.

To make matters worse the Patriots lost. They deserved to lose with the way they were playing. At least we didn't get slaughtered. Was anyone else disappointed by the commercials this year?

My nephew Hunter was not a happy camper. A true Patriots fan.

Here are a few pictures from my birthday party. Despite being horribly hungover the next day I had a really fun birthday.

 Fact: Chris was my Junior year prom date.

 When I start stealing Dave's hat that's when I know I'm on my way to drunk town, population me.

 I know barf barf barf.

 Ashley is the tannest Canadian I know.

 Ah yes the fake bike thing on Beacon Street. Someone always pretends to ride it.

Hmm my hair is looking weirdly red in some of these pics. I'm secretly part red head. I'm not so secretly pale.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes on facebook and my on my blog. It made my day.

I've got the fever

I've been all sorts of mixed up this week. Having Monday off really threw me. I somehow turned my alarm off without even remembering doing so. Luckily I'm super paranoid about over sleeping the paranoia worked it's way into my dream and I woke up with a start arms flailing for my phone. I definitely slept later than usual but still made it to work on time. I think I need the weekend stat.

We finally got a little bit of snow this week but it was pretty pathetic by New England standards. Its already melted.

January is flying by. I've been putting off planning my birthday party extravaganza because I'm in denial that it's almost February. I'm also in denial about getting older in general. I don't feel like I'm in my late 20s. That has to count for something. I finally picked a place. The same place I went to on New Years. I'm getting predictable in my old age.

Dave now thinks I have baby fever but I assured him it's only baby nephew fever. Just because I'm getting closer to 30 does not mean I'm ready for kids. Besides I have an adorable little nephew to dote on.

I'm an auntie!

Today my brother and his wife had a baby boy.  They went into the hospital this morning where Ashley was to be induced. It seems Hunter was ready to arrive because there wasn't much waiting after that. Before I knew it he was here. He is adorable! I will post a picture once I get permission from the parents. Trust me he is the cutest. I wish I didn't have to wait until March to meet him.

My brother is going to be the best dad. I'm so happy for him.

Ok I best wrap this up before I get all weepy. This is my little brother having a little baby here.

Give me my chick-fil-a and long weekends.

The 20SB bootleg winners were announced today. I didn't win for best vlogger but I didn't really expect to. There was some serious competition. Some of my nearest and dearest blogger friends did win so I'm very happy for them and for everyone else who won.

My long weekend was pretty good. Saturday I went to a small dinner party at Dave's house. His mother made a really nice dinner and we watched the Patriots beat the Broncos. Yes I'm a Pats fan readers. I grew up in New England. I don't hate Tim Tebow though. I don't get all pissed off over sports like some people do.

When I got home Sunday I just relaxed and watched some Netflix. I probably slept way more than necessary but I love naps and it's been cold so I want to hide under blankets with multiple cats.

Since I had today off I decided to go to the mall to use a gift card I got for Christmas. Ok, and also because I really wanted Chick-fil-a. There are only two locations in Massachusetts and neither are really close to Boston. Get on that Chick-fil-a. I know you have many fans here in Mass. The mall was insane. It seems everyone else decided to go to the mall on their day off too. I only bought one sweater so it was kind of a fail shopping wise BUT Chick-fil-a was eaten!

I'm not ready to go back to work tomorrow but I am ready to be an aunt! My sister-in-law Ashley is going to be induced tomorrow. Baby Hunter will be here soon. I'm going to be the crazy aunt who blogs and wears "interesting" coats.
