so....i turned 25 years old on June 29th....

i was pretty out of it on my birfday so my co-workers and friends waited until the next day to celebrate...

the next day i was forced to get off of work at 5:45pm...i usually stay later....

we ended up at a sushi restaurant with everyone!  =D  good stuff.

came back to my apt...we were all playing games...perpetual commotion!!  if you haven't played this game yet...you have to!  it's da bomb diggity!  did i just say that? !!  indeed it is!

it's such an intense game...and i get really into it...so as we were playing...all of a sudden the fire alarm in my apt goes off?!!  what the crazy?!!  and then i smell that peppery burning/cooking smell...you know how it makes you start to cough and everything too!  i get up from the ground and start to run toward my kitchen screaming..."pepper is burning!"...and then i'm like..why is someone cooking pepper?!  lols...what the crazy?! 

all of a sudden my roommate comes down from her room upstairs with a cake with a ton of candles on it...lols...surprise!!  happy birfday kathy! lols....

yeah everyone thought i was crazy b/c i thought i knew what was going on....little did i know the alarm just went off because they were lighting my birfday candles.....

the odd thing was...it really did smell like pepper cooking....guess what it was...??

the bowl of jalapeno pepper flavored chips on our dinning table...lols...them stuff are strong!
