21 Ways to Celebrate the Big 2-1 Without a Hangover

1. After cutting off the charcoal, eat the top layer of a chocolate caramel bar (along
with your high fiber cereal) for breakfast.
2. Instead of trying to be productive during short breaks at school, sit and chat with friends!
3. When working out, debate whether to type in "2-0" or "2-1." Round up and enjoy typing in
"2-1" for the first time.
4. Get beautiful flowers from your dear old Mom and Dad. Look at them often!
5. Enjoy everyone at school wishing you a Happy Birthday (thanks, Facebook!)
6. Bring treats to class. Just like in Kindergarten!
7. Enjoy birthday cake at work. ("Oh, you shouldn't have!")
8. Swear-off homework for the day.
9. Instead of doing homework, come home and watch "Ellen."
10. While watching "Ellen" (and not doing homework). waste time on Facebook. Blogs. Re-
check Facebook. Re-check Blogs. It is, afterall, your birthday!
11. See the sink overflowing with dirty dishes and decide to leave them for your roommates. It
is, afterall, your birthday!
12. Turn the thermostat up one degree, to a scorching 62. It is, afterall, your birthday!
13. Enjoy calls, e-mails, cards, and packages from family back home!
14. Go out to dinner with friends. Eat every last crumb of your meal. Go ahead- add another Splenda to that iced tea. Order one more free refill! It is, afterall, your birthday!
15. For your 3rd (out of 5!) dessert for the day, enjoy a few bites of your complimentary, 18. Strawberry Rhubarb Pie ala mode.
16. Have a big piece of Better Than Sex Cake that one of your roommates made for you,
open presents with roommates and laugh a lot!
17. Watch Grey's Anatomy and ER. Play Solitaire on your laptop during commercials.
18. The next morning, have Better Than Sex cake for breakfast. With a glass of skim milk.
Yesterday was, afterall, your birthday!
19. Spend a weekend with your brother and friends.
20. Enjoy a surprise party, complete with "Pin the nose on the Owl" and the dice game.
21. Eat several birthday cupcakes.

We sure missed you last night, but it sounds like you had a great time celebrating your big day. I like the breakfasts especially. Think I might try that and it's not even my birthday!

p.s. I found the e-mail you sent out announcing your blog. It went to bulk e-mail for some strange reason, so I didn't see it right away. So, sorry to fuss you about not telling me because obviously you did. Thank you. :)
