Mi Vida Loca

Apparently my life has been too busy to blog for the last few months, although I can't really explain why it's been that way. I guess my social calendar is more full than I thought!
I've been 30 for almost a week now, but don't feel a lot different. That age sounds so old when I say it, and I really don't think I act it (which may or may not be a good thing). I feel like I've had an extended celebration, starting with Hive fun last weekend. Renting a giant water slide was the greatest idea ever. It was fun to watch everyone try to out-do each other with tricks, and awesome to see all the kids get so ballsy to go down the slide, as well as daredevil Biscuit! I had a few slip and slide/water slide injuries, but it was all worth it. Even though I was lectured on why to stay single, I still look forward to having a fun family like all the Hive-ers do, and being an amazing mom like all of them. For now, I'm still happy to sleep in. : )
The only bad thing about Hive was catching the disease that all the kids seemed to have, which is still hanging around making me miserable. I thought it was running it's course earlier in the week, but over the weekend it feels like it's gotten worse, or at least taken a different route. I'm now coughing almost constantly and sound like a phone sex operator/teenager going through puberty. It's wonderful.
Probably didn't help that I went out on Saturday night to celebrate my b'day with all my Orlando friends. We went to the Firkin & Kegler Entertainment Center, which was really fun! We started with dinner in the pub, then did a game of bowling, then headed upstairs to their dance club area. I drank a LOT of Shock Top, which led to me getting quite tanked. I had so much fun, even if I couldn't sing along to the sweet tunes upstairs (we heard some Heartbreaker by Mariah, plus of course the Tootsie Roll and the Train!).
Anyway, now it's back to work for a five day work week, which I haven't had in a while. Boo. Now begins the countdown to my Mediterranean cruise...27 days until departure for Rome!!!
