21 Things

in All Posts

Last night was my brother-in-law Nick’s 21st Birthday celebration!  It was quite the experience.  🙂

We started things off at Dexter’s, a cute little restaurant in downtown Orlando.  Dexter’s has good drinks, yummy food, AND it’s only a rickshaw ride away from the clubs.

I started off with an Upside Down Pineapple Cake Martini.  I drank quite a few drinks last night, but I decided it would be pointless to photograph them all.  So, multiple this by a lot:

By the time our food arrived, I was practically chewing off my arm – 17.0 mile runs will do that to a girl!  The Husband and I ordered Zuchinni and Goat Cheese Empanadas.  I had one:

And we also split a Veggie Sandwich:

And fries:

Part of Nick’s Birthday celebration was that he had to complete a Scavenger Hunt that the Husband and I put together.  It was pretty silly and fun to watch Nick try to complete these 21 Things:

 

Chug 2 Waters:                                     Make scary faces with a girl:

Find a business card:                           Do the YMCA:

Do a minefield shot (4 of these are water and 2 are clear liquor; that’s why it’s a minefield):

Find a girl with a tattoo:                       Find a girl with an October birthday:

Chug a beer with a girl:                        Play Truth or Dare with a stranger:

Find women in animal print:

Find an out of state license:                Get a kiss on the cheek:

He couldn’t complete all 21 Tasks (some of them were HARD), but he had a really good time trying!  :)

We didn’t get home until 2:30 AM! I managed to avoid the pizza made in the kitchen around 3 AM, which is a good thing because I’ve found that eating late at night actually makes my hangovers worse.  Anyway… Woo hoo, I partied like a young person again.  :)  The hangover remedy that the Husband made for us last night WORKED like a charm.  I also took it again when I got back home, and I’m currently sipping another brew.  We’re taking about bottling it and patenting it! 🙂

 

I’m also eating a lovely bowl of oatmeal:

And trying to pull my life together because I have another party to attend tonight!   🙂

 

HAPPY HALLOWEN!

    REALLY cute idea with the 21 things scavenger hunt. I love it when people come up with creative ways to make special days even more special. I’m sure he will always remember that. Well… maybe.

  • Cynthia (It All Changes) October 31, 2009, 12:01 pm

    I love that you gave him a scavenger hunt. Looks like it was a blast all around.

  • Joelle (The Pancake Girl) October 31, 2009, 12:02 pm

    How fun! Those animal print women are hilarious!

    Eating after I drink always assures that I WON’T get a hangover.. guess it’s different from person to person!

  • Susan October 31, 2009, 12:10 pm

    Aren’t you happy you ran the 17 miles yesterday and not today? 😛

  • Mama Pea October 31, 2009, 12:18 pm

    I feel like a complete old lady for saying this, but my gosh, I had no idea people actually wore those skanky costumes in public!!!

  • Diana October 31, 2009, 12:28 pm

    Glad you had a good time! 🙂
    Wow, that minefield shot is dangerous ahah

  • Lee October 31, 2009, 12:35 pm

    Did he pick the water or the liquor for the minefield shot?

    Sounds like a fun time. I think everyone needs to party like a 21 year old at least on occasion!

    • Caitlin October 31, 2009, 12:42 pm

      you have to do all 6 shots in a row but you dont know which is which until you swallow. good times!

  • Amanda (Two Boos Who Eat) October 31, 2009, 12:51 pm

    I love the scavenger hunt. How fun!

  • Sammi October 31, 2009, 12:52 pm

    That scavenger hunt looks awesome! I’ve never heard of the minefield shot thing but sounds like something really fun to do! Hope he had a great time and won’t get into tooooo much trouble now that he’s 21!

  • Lex October 31, 2009, 1:04 pm

    HAhaha I love the scavenger hunt!!!

    The minefield shot is AWESOME!!!!

  • Deva (Voracious Vorilee) October 31, 2009, 1:16 pm

    I had never heard of a minefield shot before – that sounds… interesting! I love the idea of a scavenger hunt, it’s awesome 🙂

  • Jessica @ How Sweet It Is October 31, 2009, 1:18 pm

    I can’t believe the hangover remedy worked! I gotta try it. Also, the party looks like a blast…I wish I was 21 again.

  • Jacqueline October 31, 2009, 1:30 pm

    You sure know how to have a good time! Love the scavenger hunt idea!

  • Meg C. October 31, 2009, 1:52 pm

    love the idea of minefield shots. never seen that one before! i have seen the stoplight shots (one red, one orange, one green – and you dont know what the liquors are bc they have food coloring!)

    i actually have less of a hangover when i eat late night while drunk – last time I went out I had easy-mac as a midnight snack and the cheese and salt must have soaked up all the alcohol because I felt great in the am!

  • Brooke October 31, 2009, 3:03 pm

    Is this the brother that is single and ready to mingle?!?! Homegirl is single and ready to mingle!!

  • Jenna October 31, 2009, 3:44 pm

    looks like you had a great time last night!

  • Cynthia October 31, 2009, 3:50 pm

    The party looks like it was a blast! That’s such a fun idea to make a bday party with scavenger hunt. I need to learn to have willpower to not eat pizza or other greasy foods after a night of drinking. 17 miles is great! It always feels so good to be out and eating after you completing a run.

  • Jolene (www.everydayfoodie.ca) October 31, 2009, 4:06 pm

    Happy Halloween!!!!!

  • Heather @ For The Health Of It! October 31, 2009, 4:10 pm

    LOVE the minefield shot! Never heard of that one. Looks like fun!

  • Angie October 31, 2009, 4:13 pm

    That scavenger hunt is hilarious!! What a great birthday idea!!

  • Emily October 31, 2009, 5:11 pm

    Minefield shots, that’s amazing! I have to remember that one and put it to good use one day!

  • Errign October 31, 2009, 6:29 pm

    Brother in law is cute! Glad you guys had a fun night!

  • skinnyrunner October 31, 2009, 8:15 pm
