I'm so tired. Adult slumber party...three beers...freaking tired today! You know what really sucks about getting old? You can't drink. OK, you can drink, but you pay. I was up until 3:00 because of those beers. Damn!

I'm going to admit it right now: It's kinda weird to have a slumber party at my age. In my defense, I wasn't planning to have a sleep-over. But when the invitation went out, my boss assumed she was spending the night, so there you have it. What can you do? When the boss says she's sleeping over, she's sleeping over.

There was a very scary moment at the party involving my bird. I don't know what got into her, but she let herself out of her cage. That's very unusual behavior when I have people around. So she got out of her cage and flew straight into the bathroom. Since she never goes into the bathroom, I followed her to see what she was doing and she was in the toilet!! I know it sounds funny, but it scared the life out of me! She was all wet and looking up at me helplessly. I grabbed her out and gave her a little bath. Luckily I had just cleaned the toilet before the party so there was some comfort in that. My poor baby! One of the guests, who doesn't like my bird, said it was a suicide attempt. She said the bird saw herself in the mirror and decided to end it. This same guest said she would have flushed my bird! Now I'm the first one to admit that my poor bird is ugly. Very, very ugly. Her feathers are pretty much gone on her face. It's not pretty. She looks like a turkey. But I still love her! And I would never flush her.
