My Birthday and Junk

It was a great birthday weekend, I celebrated with friends and family. The weather was really nice and allowed us to stay outside. Friday, after contemplating whether I should stay home or go out like I promised, went out on the town with my friend and co birthday girl Amber and a few friends. We met up at Fish Tail where they were just finishing up dinner, I met Amber's sister and a school friend two others from work were there Sasha and Ali and Ali's husband. From there we decided to head over to a dive bar called McCoys and had a few drinks before Ali received a text from another co worker suggesting Whiskey. Not really sure what that meant we took to the streets once again to find what used to be the Vault. The actual name of the place was The Big Whiskey Saloon, which used to be a gangster's paradise is now a country bar, line dancing, cowboy hats, and Copenhagen in your back pocket, what's not to love. Oh and can we say mechanical bull? It was a great time with a few more drinks in us all it was time to call it a night at 1am. Saturday, my actual birthday, found me waking up to many birthday wishes via text, phone calls and facebook. I've never felt so damned loved in my life. We started out at the casino to cash in our freebies and then headed over to Chinese buffet to meet up with the bear's brother and family. The bear's folks couldn't make it but they called to say happy birthday and to give me my birthday money. From there we headed home to pack up the dogs and headed out to Shelton where we spent the rest of the day outside drinking Jack Daniels drinks. I must say one of the best drinks I've had and the fact that no one else liked the kind I was drinking I knew they were all mine for the taking. As the night drove on it was getting colder and we decided to head home at 1am. Wow two in a row, didn't think I had it in me. Sunday, we stayed in to watch 3 good movies. First was The Invention Of Lying starring Ricky Girvas and Jennifer Gardner, so funny when people are blunt and have no filter. The second was In Time starring Justin Timberlake, great movie but reminded the bear of Logan's Run. The third was a classic from 1984 All Of Me starring Lily Tomlin and Steve Martin. That one just made me smile. This was the most we've done on the weekend in a long time. But now it's time to head back to the grind, Happy Monday!!
