So here's the big day in a nutshell: The night before, I went to a friend's house to watch a movie and we took a shot at midnight. We finished the movie, I went home and slept. I taught dance in the morning, ate lunch, then went shopping with my mom, then taught dance again in the evening. For dinner my mom, grandma, and I went out to eat and I ordered a martini with the appetizer and a glass of wine with dinner.

Guess what, this is EXACTLY how I wanted to spend my birthday (minus the part where my boyfriend was however many miles away on vacation)... But, I've gotten mixed "reviews" from friends and family.
1. "You weren't drunk all day?" Nope. I had to dance, and be in charge of children... they usually frown upon doing that while drinking...
2. "You didn't go out with your friends?" Nope. Like I said, that was how I wanted to spend it... "going out" isn't really my scene **DISCLAIMER** I did go out a week and a half after my birthday and enjoyed myself - but it's still not "my thing"
3. "You drank?!" Okay, so we go from one extreme to the next... YES, I drank, it's legal to do that now, so why are you making me feel awkward and guilty for doing so? (this one's mostly from the fam)
4. "What's your drink?" I don't know! I have some things I like, and some things I don't... but I haven't found ONE thing... I'm still experimenting... and it definitely depends on my mood... and the contents of my wallet.
Basically, people are either surprised that I drank (get over it!) or surprised that I actually remember what happened. But last I checked blacking out ISN'T healthy. Yeah, I'm in college, yeah I'm supposed to make stupid decisions - but life threatening stupid decisions are ones I usually stay away from..
