This Friday we celebrated my 23rd birthday. I was lucky enough to have my best friend Ave come from the White Mountains and our mutual friend Kristin come from Tucson to help us celebrate. The week had been crazy with my move to Phoenix and helping my mom clean out the Tucson house as well as getting my room set up here at Jasmine's house, and despite a blowout on I-10 everything turned out well. We made some very fruitful trips to SAS in both Tucson and Phoenix to get pounds of faux fur and had everything ready to begin preparations for the festivities. I chose the theme "Party Animals" and the plan was for each of us to be dressed up as an animal of our choice. Friday Jasmine went to work and I started working on our costumes. Despite me ragging on her "Brotha" sewing machine it held up well enough to produce 2 pairs of catpants, a bambi bottom, a beaver butt and a piglet posterior. I was thrilled to have Heather, Gerard and Gosia join our herd for the nights activities. (Heather wore the original catpants from '05). We started at a bar called Coachhouse where we were an instant hit. Everyone wanted to know the reason for the costumes, as well as chime in with their own animal puns....some of which were rather disturbing. This was probably the most fun I've ever had celebrating a birthday and everybody wound up safe and sound at home with tails, teeth and claws intact :)
