So today I turned 22.  I love when people ask “well, do you feel any older?”.  Cant say that I do, but im happy to be it!  I was pretty tired in work from sketchy last night but I was still able to enjoy the day.  We went to Spur for lunch to celebrate mine and Shaunas birthday, and had a few buns when we got back with the rest of the guys in our department.  Everyone loves a bun!

As was always planned, I had some birthday drinks in Laverys and definitely had one of my best birthdays yet.  So many people came out which was fantastic and nearly everybody stayed to the end!  I know there were people who were already going to laverys and might not have been specifically out for my birthday as well as all the ones who did,  but I want to personally thank all these people for being there or for catching up:

My lovely and wonderful girlfriend Jess
My siblings Rónán, Laura & Conall
My parents
Lucy & Chris

Liz & Matty
Susan & Noel

(If ive forgotten somebody please let me know!)

It was great getting to talk with and hang out with you all and I really enjoyed everyones company!  Thanks for all the birthday drinks too.  Amazingly I didnt have a hangover this morning so it really musta been my birthday!  So to finish todays post off, heres a video of Ross hiccupping:





Day 77 – Good Times

Everybody!

Everybody!

Woke up feeling fine and ready for the day, although by the end of it felt like id been hit by a car.  Seems that the hangover wanted to lead me into a false sense of security.

It was Liz birthday today so the plan was Rollerblading at 3pm, dinner at spur for 5.30pm and Indiana Land at 8pm.  I get very jealous of the girls as they seem to come up with the best ideas for their birthdays.  Between Jess animal party and this, I feel slightly ashamed of just going out for drinks for my birthday next week :(.  I was a bit of a spoilsport when it came to the rollerblading as I really didnt have the energy so apologies to everyone for being a bit of a bore.  Spur was legendary with the best all you can eat ribs money could buy!  But the highlight of the day DEFINITELY had to be Indiana Land.  Jesus, i cant remember the last time I had so much fun.  Although it probably was the last time I was at Indiana Land which was probably when i was 10!

I was really annoyed at myself for being so hungover today.  Losing a whole day to alcohol is never worth it.  Regardless though, I did have a fantastic time 🙂
