Birthday bash!
Ugh. I'm still a bit hungover from my birthday party on Saturday. Tequila is not my friend.
But despite the hangover, my birthday was really fun.![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
katieledge, hotpantsgalore & I got up early & went to Bushwick to take part in NYCares Day. We joined up with some friends & painted murals in the lunch room of a junior high school. HPG & I spent the bulk of the day on a scaffold, hanging out with a super-cute 12-year-old named Alex (short for Alexandra). She was a really great kid, & between the three of us, we painted a lovely mural of the Brooklyn Bridge. I think that's the first time I've ever painted something that was supposed to look like something. It was fun.
We zipped home, took a quick nap, & then headed back into Manhattan for dinner at Hill County Barbecue withvulgarbarbarian, chaosvizier, T*, chyrsoberyl, & chrysoberyl's sister K*. I feel that the restaurant lived up to its hype, with delicious, delicious barbecue, excellent side dishes, tasty drinks, & some by-God amazing ice cream. After dinner, vulgarbarbarian had to go home, but St. John the Clean joined us at Rodeo Bar - & he's the one that bought the tequila shots, so I blame my wasted Sunday on his largess. The bar was a ton of fun though; lots of BoSox fans were there & Boston won that night in a blowout. We were dancing to the live country music by the end of the night. hotpantsgalore poured me into a cab & got me home safe & sound.
My day was punctuated with great phone calls & text messages from family & friends. Perhaps the best one was fromfunkyplaid & evilfb, my former housemates from le Chateau. They called from funkyplaid's store, & sang for me, & then I heard evilfb declare: "It's No-Pants Day! WOO HOO!" & for once that clarion call did NOT fill me with horror, because I was 2,600 miles away. But it reminded me of the crazy days of living in San Francisco with my two boys, & our house full of shenanigans. Good times, good times.
So,hotpantsgalore, being the loving girlfriend that she is, got me two birthday presents. One is a sammich maker - OH YES!! I have wanted one of these ever since I got back from Scotland. Delicious hot sammiches will be served at my house all winter. She also got me an Eagles jersey! As I was opening up the jersey, I was overwhelmed - my dear HPG, somehow overcame her Texas upbringing, & got me this lovely Eag- WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE.
It's a NUMBER 81 TERRELL OWENS JERSEY I AM GOING TO KILL HER.

Anyway, I was feeling too delicate to eat breakfast at the house this morning, so around 10:30 AM I had the chefs at le Dunkin Donuts prepare me a low-carb breakfast: an egg, ham, & cheese sandwich on a muffin. And it was pretty good! This may become my new breakfast. My mom told me an easy way to cook the egg in the microwave, so it sounds like a quick, low-mess breakfast option that meets my endocrinologist's dietary standards.
Speaking of my endocrinologist, she called me - herself, not a secretary - last Friday, just to see how I was feeling on my new dosage. Wow. I can't remember the last time I spoke to a doctor on the phone. Overall, I am feeling much, much better on the lower dosage - although perhaps I should lay off the sauce a bit. Heh.

Glad I could be there with you, buddy! Hope your liver recovers in time for Cinco De Mayo, because there's more tequila coming your way!

(and why will you kill her about the jersey?)
The jersey.
He played for Philadelphia during the 2004 & 2005 seasons & then they traded him to Dallas, where he now plays.

Re: The jersey.
Still, I have to admit, that was a pretty funny gift. Now I just have to find a cheap Cowboys TO jersey to give her for her birthday.
BTW,
Re: The jersey.
Might be an option.
Re: The jersey.
Jason Avant. (http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/team/player4.html) Never heard of him. Will totally wear his name.

Re: The jersey.
She got it at a thrift shop, when she was picking out costumes & props for her latest show. She's had it hidden in her closet for weeks.

Oh, and as a longtime 'Boys fan, I did chuckle at your acquisition of the TO gear. He hasn't been a cancer on the team yet, but I know it's just a matter of time. Hopefully, we will get Super Bowl ring #6 before it happens. *snicker*
