SAVE THE DATE

I am having a BIRTHDAY PARTY on Saturday, August 16th! This will be the first party I had to celebrate my birthday since my 21st at Juarez, the token Mexican restaurant in Savannah. I decided to deal with my fear of aging like a big girl and grab 28 by the horns! Last year I spent my special day stuck in bed at my parents house watching t.v. with a bag of frozen peas so this year I plan to do it up.

Balloons in front of the house, goody bags, streamers, maybe a face cake...

Details and Evite to follow.

If I forgot to...

Invite you to my latest soirée either I'm not that crazy about you or I don't have your email or you live too far away or I forgot so please let me know.

GreenReaper, I'm talking to you!

Margaritas, Mojitos, and Sangria, Oh My!

Hey all! I guess a solid number of you received an evite from me and Clay. If not I’m sorry and shoot me an email to let me know I forgot. Then I will decide if I want you to come. I have been adding on more as I remember like my boss Mark who when opening the email bellowed from his office “Hey Colleen, what the fuck did you just send me”. I have been working overtime on my house and can’t wait for people to see how much progress I have made with the help of Dad, Tim, and Mike. I know some of you live far away but if you are looking for a weekend getaway you have a place to stay in Fishtown. My door is always open. I have an aerobed and fridge full of beer!

Sorry, I don’t mean to false advertise but there won’t be an ice luge at this party. Maybe if I have a Christmas party… I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the birth of Christ than kamikaze shots poured down a block of ice. Adeste Fideles!

Aren't We Aging Well?

Since I am on the birthday topic today I vow to not spend my special day curled up in fetal position bawling this August 20th. I am going to deal with creeping up on 30 like a big girl. There will be a party. I will get a facial, a salt scrub and a mani/pedi. I will wear a new dress and a feel good about being becoming older and wiser.

Dar sang:
"I'm so glad that you finally made it here,"
"You thought nobody cared, but I did, I could tell,"
And "This is your year," and "It always starts here,"And oh "You're aging well."

This picture is from my 21st birthday party after dinner at Juarez where I consumed a Margarita as big as my head. This was taken in the kitchen of my apartment after and I honestly do not remember the names of these people but I know I worked with them at the Olde Pink House.

Clearly I had a good time.

That was the last birthday I ever did anything or let anybody do anything for it.
