Actually, it feels suspiciously like 27.
My birthday was awesome. I got lots of awesome presents and birthday wishes.
Legal Eagle and her fiance came up the weekend before my birthday. We all went out to Candela Taco Bar and then to Little Bar Lounge for trivia night! It was so much fun and we did pretty well with the trivia.
The night before my birthday the Brit and I went to our local joint for drinks. He informed the bartender of my birthday which resulted in the bartender having the whole bar sing me Happy Birthday. It's a shockingly long song. The bartender then also announced that the Brit and I met there two years ago. A gaggle of girls next to me started aww-ing and oh-that's-so-cute-ing and for real?-ing.
On my actual birthday, the Brit took me to three places. We first went to the Blue Boar where we played this hook game where you swing a ring thing on a rope and try to hook it. He didn't let me win even though it was my birthday! It was a lot of fun, love the game.
We then went to iOWest where we saw an improv show that was actually really good. That stuff can be hit or miss, but we cracked up the whole time.
Eventually, we stopped at a little Mexican restaurant/bar where we ate and watched the women's gymnastics team finals for the Olympics! I apparently put a wrench in his original plan when I requested watching the event the night of my birthday. Oops.
But, the whole night was tons of fun. And I'm going home in less than two weeks to see my family! I plan to just keep celebrating my birthday while I'm there (and other birthdays I suppose).
^ The Brit and I on my birthday night. While we do look awfully good, I think Barbar really steals the picture all lounged out in the background. Damn cat always upstaging me!
