Thirty Years of Sass

Well. It's about time I reported back on my big birthday bash this past weekend.

So, little sis Mary rocks my socks because she really pulled this off in high style. We started out with dinner at Papaya Thai in SoNo.... YUM. I mean seriously... If you go - and you simply MUST - you've gotta try their crab dumplings, coconut shrimp, and the soft shell crab..... oh my fucking GAWD. Wash it all down with a Thai iced tea and you will have one happy tum tum. Promise.

Heather, Brandon, Laura, Lauren, and, of course, SteveKam joined us for a tasty and boisterous meal. Global warming kindly afforded us with "patio" weather, so we dined outdoors. 'Twas nifty.

We then headed over to The Loft, a martini bar a couple of blocks over for the boozing of a lifetime. P and E met us there - and soon after Dan and Tara joined us and then Anne and Michelle showed up and even Scott at the tail end of the evening.... We managed to get dibs on the entire corner boothy type area - that was a good thing because we were rowdy and would not necessarily have played well with others if forced into close quarters. (We're a LOUD gang of peeps yo.)

I sampled many a martini, friends. It's the only way to ring in your 30th. DRUNK and SUGARED UP. I was hap-hap-happy. The evening concluded with some trademarked Sarah ass shaking. It's just not a special occasion without it.

SteveKam (as always) was a real sport and hauled my tanked rear home. I told him I'd return the favor on his birthday... but let's face facts:

1. SteveKam will never allow himself to get as wasted as I did.
2. I make a terrible designated driver as I like to get wasted.

I'll give it the ol' college try, though! I owe him, after all...

Anyhoo, it was a really faboo birthday and even though some people DITCHED at the last minute (*cough* FRO! *cough* GORDON! *cough* SMACK! - wait, well, Smack and Factor had a good reason for not attending... but, whatever! Ditchers! *cough*)

I was glad to be surrounded by people who make me laugh so hard I almost pee my pants on a regular basis. You guys are the bomb-diggety.

So. I'm officially old or some junk. I don't really feel any different. I don't feel any more mature or any better prepared for what life is going to throw at me next and I certainly don't feel any more grown up. And I don't wanna. Take that, 30! Your foul attempts at making me feel decrepit and lame have been TORPEDOED. By me! So there!

I'm going to kick 30's ass this year. You just wait and see. Boo yeah.

ps - our little photo albums can be found here, here and here. :)

Eat me, I'm unemployed. When I get that stellar job in the sky I'll make you come here and we can eat and shake the booty all night long. Until then, make me a tshirt, I'm ditching a lot of things with rent due!
