For my 23rd birthday I wanted to do something really fun, because I usually don't do much to celebrate my birthdays.  Kelly suggested that we do a girls night in Canada because we still thought Canada was fun and Kate and Jill weren't 21 yet.  So we decided to spend the night at the Windsor Casino hotel and just wander around and hit up all the bars without having to worry about who would drive home.  We all drove over to Canada in one car, and for some reason we decided we would bypass the duty free liquor shop and just find some liquor once we got to Windsor.  Well, we drove around for about 20 minutes, and couldn't find anything.  Finally, we stopped at what looked like a convenience store, but they didn't sell alcohol there (because Canada is weird).  The convenience store was run by an Asian man, and we asked him for directions to the nearest liquor store.  He gave us directions by telling us how many "twaffics" (traffic lights) to go through before we turned.  So we got back in the car to drive, and at every light we counted "twaffics"--"One twaffic, two twaffic...:" and so on.  But the man must have been mistaken because we never found the liquor store, and we just went to the hotel.

We checked into our hotel room without incident, but realized something about the room was a little strange.  We were all starving and went downstairs to a little food court, where we all got bowls of pasta and breadsticks.  These bowls of pasta were HUGE, and I couldn't finish mine.  I looked over and saw that Kate had finished hers and I jokingly asked if she wanted to finish mine.  To everyone's surprise (and disgust) she said yes!!! LOL...we will never let her live that down.  Kelly says it reminded her of the movie Seven where the gluttonous guy was forced to eat spaghetti until his stomach exploded.

After dinner, we went back to the room to get ready to go out.  As we were getting ready, someone (I don't remember who) finally figured out that we were in a handicapped room.  We had all been confused as to why there were metal bars on every wall and why the light switches were so low, but after we figured that out we laughed for like 1/2 an hour.  Jill stayed in the room to watch the Pistons game, and Kate, Kelly and I went down to the casino bar.  I think we each had 3 Camacazi (sp?) shots and finally went back to the room to get Jill.  We watched the end of the Pistons game (it was the last game of the CHampionships and we lost--Jill was not very happy) and headed out to the bars.

I don't remember a lot of details about the bars, but one interesting thing that happened was that Kate got approached by a guy on crutches who asked her to dance.  She laughed because she thought he was joking but he was serious and he gave his crutches to his friend and hopped on one leg to the dance floor.  Kate was laughing so hard, and she humored him and danced with him.  Meanwhile, I hung out with Jill and Kelly, whose boobs looked great in their shirts (lol) and we got approached by a lot of random guys.  This one guy bragged about how he could get into the VIP sections of all these bars (are there even VIP sections in Windsor bars) and then asked if he could crash on our floor in our hotel room.  Obviously, we said no.  And then when we were going back upstairs to our room at the casino, these 2 random guys (who were trashed) asked us if THEY could crash in our hotel room.  How stupid can people be? Do girls actually fall for that?

Anyways, the next morning, Kelly, Kate and I put on our Napoleon Dynamite shirts and we each spent about $20 in the casino before we went home.  It was a fun and interesting night...I'm sure there is a lot I'm missing, but that's pretty much the whole story. :) I also have more pics somewhere that I'll have to upload.
