I have good reason for creating these weekly lists.  For the (21st!) birthday, the girls got me this necklace that I said that I loved.  Glorious.  Quality choice girls. So here we go.  Not gonna lie, big week.  I had to hold auditions to come up with these five: Heifer International: Most amazing charity in…

<—Crew at Hotel Fig.  Out again last night.  To a bar just a little more legit than the 9-0.  I ordered my first "real" drink: A Raunchy Raspberry.  It came highly recommended by the bartender.  Actually, he recommended the 21 shot idea.  I laughed out loud. Truly, I had a great day.  It was very…

<— We went there.  Vern and I as 21 year olds.  Sat down.  Drank a pitcher of Beer.  Had my first Sam Adams.  Called the Dad to tell him I was drinking a real beer.  He was proud. Solid.  Now we are going to Hotel Fig.  Going to order my first real drink.  Dude.  What’s…

<— This beautiful bouquet just arrived from Katie Bowman.  My darling VPPD who is spending the semester in Paris.  Paris is so lucky to have her.  I am so jealous of Paris. Thank you Katie, for thinking of me.  I am always thinking of you. About to head to Traditions Campus Bar.  A.K.A Traddies.  A.K.A.…

Okay.  That had to be a highlight of the day.  I saw the time 2:22 on 2/22.  Probably the ultimate Birthday Moment right there. So here have been some of the other highlights: Waking up (Alive. Functionable.) Finding my camera Fixing my camera Watching videos from last night Laughing HARD at videos Birthday cards that…

The battery was in backwards.  And the display screen was off.  Dad said it’s my lucky day.  Told me to go buy a lottery ticket.  Really I think it might be his lucky day that he hasn’t gotten fired for taking to his daughter all morning.  I call every two minutes with "updates."  So now…

It was in the trash can.  Where I keep all of my most-prized possessions.  Granted, it does not turn on because I broke it when I dropped on the floor before I "lost" it.  But no bother, the memory card works.  <—And I get this priceless photo from the night. Dude.  This day keeps getting…

<—Out Of Control.  That machine is so smart.  I used to hate it.  Now we are on great terms. So, let’s talk celebration.  Went to the 9-0 last night.  Quality.  Until I LOST MY CAMERA.  Not okay.  Really not okay.  I might just beat up the 9-0 next time I have a chance. There are…

2 hours.  10 minutes.  About to go out.  This is a big one.  This is THE Big One.  I am going to celebrate before midnight, at midnight, after midnight.  Then I go to sleep.  Wake up.  Class-it.  Start over with the celebrating.  24 hours to enjoy the feeling of having endless freedom and limited responsibility. …

The parents are fabulous.  My birthday gift came today.  And as I refuse to practice self-restraint, I opened it to find a very special coupon book.  With 121 brand new $1 bills to be used at "clubs" all over the United States.  Dad’s favorite birthday trick that until now was reserved for Grandparents.  So now…
