The most excellent Eva Walton Birthday Week is HERE! And good lord, it's looking mighty exciting.
Aside from the obvious best part of this week - which is the fact that I turn 24 and ready for more on Thursday - there are SO many other wonderful occasions to celebrate this week.
The first, and probably the one I'm most excited for is that my girl, Gwynnie P, is coming back to reprise her role as Holly Holiday on Glee!
G.P. is shaking things up this week as the substitute for McKinley High's sex ed program. I love Gwyneth. I love her look, her kids' names, and even her singing voice - which I think I like because it's just normal. I also love what she did here with Joan Jett, Brittany and Santana:
Remember - everybody's got a random.
One last oober-excited-can't-wait-for-tomorrow's-episode-Glee-freak-out-must-share-video:
Holly Holiday, Santana, and Brittany singing Stevie Nix. This has the makings to be my favorite episode of all-time:
I'll be listening to this song on repeat for at least the next month. Guaranteed.
Glee is not the only highlight of Tuesday. Not even close.
I've heard there's a killer Glee after-party (also known as a birthday party) for me and my fellow Gleeks - future Governor of Mississippi, R. Brian Wilson, and the renowned, prestigious and soon-to-be-UNC Chapel Hill-published, Dr. William Hustwit.
If you know the first thing about any of us, then you know that for obvious reasons, the theme of the party is "Team America, (expletive) Yeah!"
I can rest assured that I'm one of the best Americans I know. As for Brian and Will, they're fine patriots. I'm hoping the party begins with a full-party salute, "We pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the wild ruckus for which it stands." I'm going to make it happen. Why? Because it's my birthday.
If Tuesday weren't already mind-blowingly awesome, it also happens to be FAT TUESDAY!
Happy Mardi Gras, my favorite family holiday! All I have to say about all of this wonder wrapped up in one twenty four-hour package is "Laissez the bon temps rouler! Time to PARTY GRAS! Huzzah!" I cannot wait to get home to my Mama's etouffe and homemade beignets. Just put me away now.
Lest you forget, this is all the joy for Tuesday alone! The week only gets better when I get to go home for my birthday to see my family! Ally and her boyfriend, Zach, are going to be home too for a weekend of good times, great food, and wonderful memories. From what Mama's told me about what she's already preparing, I know we're going to all be in high Mardi Gras Heaven!
I'm seriously too excited about this coming week to sleep. I hope you have a wonderful Eva Walton Birthday week as well!
Just a little Mardi Gras tune to keep you dancing:
WOOOOO!
