The Adnostic

What I Remember:
- Arriving at the bar and securing a corner chair and couch
- Drinking three very strong tequila martinis
- Opening wonderful gifts from wonderful friends
- Having a great time with all the people I enjoy hanging out with and being very glad that they were there

What I Don't Remember:
- Dancing wildly to Anarchy in the UK
- Half the night
- Jodi, Sandra, and Kim consolidating my gifts to fewer bags so that I could use the now empty bags to puke in
- Passing out
- Being carried out of the bar slung over Mark's shoulder as someone yelled, "Hey! That's the girl who barfed in her gift bag!"
- Puking in another gift bag in Jodi's car and throwing it out the window on the way home because it was leaking
- Jodi helping me inside my house
- Changing out of my dress and into my pj's to go to bed

What Happened the Next Morning:
- Going from fine, to very nauseous, to dry heaving every hour on the hour, until about three in the afternoon
- Calling Jodi to find out everything I "missed"
- Calling all my friends who I wasn't sure if I should thank or apologize to
- Leaving very drawn out rambling messages on said friends' answering services
- Arriving at my parent's house for a little love and comfort and being greeted with, "You look like shit."
- Mom giving me Pepto-Bismol and Coca-Cola with all the bubbles stirred out until I felt well enough to try eating food
- Having to reassure my mother that I wasn't on my way to becoming an alcoholic and that the reason I was so hung over from the previous night was because I NEVER drink like that, EVER
- Telling JDate Guy about the whole evening, finding out that he read the dating section of my blog in its entirety, and being downright shocked that he still wanted to go out with me again

All in all, another great birthday the later of which will hopefully never be repeated. Happy 29th to me!
