Fantastic Weekend!!

I had an *amazing* weekend! It all started on Thursday. We had the Glenn Miller Orchestra at work on Tuesday and the group invited me to come see them perform on Thursday in Akron. I was excited because it would be a fun night out so I went. After the concert they had a cocktail reception and it was fun hanging out with them. They are a great group of guys. :) I ended up staying out pretty late with that so Friday morning I was completely dragging at work. But that's ok cause it was definitely worth it.

Friday after work Mom and Dad wanted to take me to dinner for my birthday. Ryan wanted to take me as well so I suggested all going together. Not only that, but it was a way for me to not have to do dinner exclusive with Ryan (horribly mean? maybe. over it? definitely). After dinner Mom and Dad had a social dance at their dance studio (they've been taking ballroom dancing) and they offered for me to go and watch. I, being the generous sucker I am, also asked Ryan if he would like to go. Mistake. Because when we got there he started acting like a stupid little baby. We were offered to participate in the dancing and learn a little bit as we went along. He started ranting and whining about how I knew this the whole time and I set him up and I should know better because I know how much he doesn't like dancing and blah blah fucking blah. I was so pissed and so annoyed. I just ignored him almost the entire rest of the time. I'm so over that. He then had the nerve to tell me he had a good time and asked if I wanted to go get coffee or a drink after. Um, no fucktard.
So when I got home he called and we started fighting about it more. I informed him it's my birthday and I'm leaving it drama free and when he decides to grow up, I'll talk to him.

So I moved on from that not letting it ruin my weekend. Saturday morning I had a nail appointment cause Ron wanted to make sure I looked perfect for my birthday. haha! He's so sweet :) What's better than having your nail guy as your friend? Then I grabbed Panera with a friend for breakfast and headed into the office. My wedding went perfect that day! Everything went smoothly and everyone was happy. And it was an early night! The bar closed by 10 so I was able to get out of there by 9. it was great! I headed out of work, changed into a cute birthday outfit and went out. A group of my friends were at 7 Martini watching the game so I went there. Unfortunately the Bucks lost, but I can't control everything on my birthday! haha! A few more of my friends trickled in throughout the night and it was a great time! There was dancing and drinking and laughing and overall good fun. There were a few small random drama things, but nothing to ruin the night overall. After bar close we decided to head over to Steak and Shake for some good, greasy food. Unfortunately they sucked bad. So we rolled on over to iHop. Which was a great idea, until someone in our group went through a light a little too orange (that's what you say when you know it's red when you are going through but you think it should still be considered yellow. haha) She only got a traffic violation, but it still sucked for her night. After some french toast and bacon (yep, I'm healthy) I headed home.

Sunday I enjoyed a cookout with friends and then a haunted house. Let me just tell you how awesome the new Factory of Terror is. It was such a fun time! Seriously!

Anyhow, I would definitely say this birthday made up for all the past ones. I smiled and laughed and had a fantastic time the whole weekend!
