Last night I had a very fun birthday party!

There was enough alcohol consumed that everyone had fun and was loosened up, but not enough so that there was any vomitting, confessions of love, or crying.

I received some very sweet presents, ate 3 kinds of desserts (flour-free cake, cupcakes, and mini bananas foster), and finally tried some "brutal juice" alcoholic beverage (tastes like strawberry punch). There was a small amount of dancing along with a strobe light, and the discovery that you can create the illusion of a "stopped" fan by shining a strobe light on it at the right speed. Very cool. No one was drunk enough to stick their finger in, thank goodness.

I asked people to bring "mini" foods, and they were very creative: aforementioned mini bananas foster, mini cream puffs, mini chips, mini crackers & cookies, mini veggie corndogs, mini "pigs in a blanket", mini pizzas, mini candies.... I provided mini cakes (cupcakes) & mini vegetables, along with a rockin' bowl of red pepper hummus that wasn't so mini. It's always good to have a theme. ♥

The best part was getting to hang out with my friends before I move...hopefully everyone upholds their promise to visit this summer. Eugene in the summer makes you fall in love and want to stay!

I don't have much to say right now, nothing profound, but it was a good time and I feel very loved.
