Happy birthday to... ME!

Yes, today is my birthday. I have been feeling like Bryan, who celebrates for an entire month when his birthday rolls around - seeing as it's been a week full of festivities already. But SCREW THAT, we needed something OFFICIAL to cap it off, right? So the crew took me out for yummy German food last night, the best in the WORLD (besides my mom's, of course), and then we were off on the hunt for Fat Tuesday 190 Octane frozen drinks.

When I was in college, we used to frequent the Fat Tuesday and I would nearly orgasm in joy over the COMPLETE WALL of frozen drink machines. I get a little tear in the corner of my just thinking about it. Pssst. Have I mentioned it is one of my major goals in life to have a commercial grade frozen drink maker out in the garage, running at all times, ready to pour my perfectly frozen and perfectly mixed frozen drinks at a moment's notice? IT WILL HAPPEN.

But until then, I will have to settle for tracking down Fat Tuesday franchises that have a few of those lovely Fat Tuesday machines, and there just happens to be one in downtown Denver.

Ahh. Bliss. So what if an alcoholic drink can make me sublimely happy on my birthday?


Clearly, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Honestly? I have NOT been feeling all that peppy about turning thirty-eight in a couple of weeks.

But now I've got a infusion of optimism, and a mission: MUST FIND FAT TUESDAY DRINK MACHINES.

Happy birthday! Glad it was a festive one.

First, Happy Birthday!

Second, Cafe Berlin is the best EVER. I lived near the first location, and we would laugh over the giant beer mugs that people had to hold with two hands. If Phil had one, he would leave the restaurant stumbling. The food. Oh, man. Mmm.

Happy Birthday Aimee! I was a 7-11 Slurpee addict myself when I was younger... well I probably still would be if we had any in Wisconsin.
