it’s a gloomy day in Chicago
March 27, 2008   |   birthday,me me me

…but I don’t care because it is my birthday!!!

Honestly, I’m not really ever too psyched on birthdays. I really don’t want to get older. Really though, this year so far has been a pretty big bummer with all that is going on, but I’m determined to make today a new start. I have lots of incredibly awesome things planned for the rest of the year, so this is kind of the start of it all.

I’m super excited about all that is in store for my three day birthday extravaganza!

Today
First off, today I have to stop by the travel agency to confirm the fabulous trip Jenn and I are going on in July. San Francisco and BlogHer, watch out! Maybe grab lunch or dinner with the boyfriend. I’m kind of feeling like some pasta! Leona’s? YES. Oh and maybe go buy Enchanted! Wrap it all up at boyfriend’s for some cake. Then tv catch up and cuddles with boyfriend.

Friday
21 comes out tomorrow so William and I are going to see that. Vegas! A movie is the closest I will get to Vegas until October, but that is okay. Then get myself all dolled up for a night on the town with friends in my little black dress that went unused in Vegas because I was sick. We got a table and bottle service at my most favorite night time spot in Chicago and a bunch of friends will come out. Hopefully. They better or I will punch them. In the eye. If you are in Chicago and want to come out, I might just tell you where, only if you have a cupcake in hand when you greet me! haha. I also won’t punch you in the eye.

Saturday
First, Edie and I will have puppy class at 11, which will definitely be hard to get to after Friday night. But we will persevere! Then an adventure with Jenn, since our first adventure went smashingly. This time a movie and mini food. Another day of fierceness all around.

And of course, even though it was a few weeks early, my favorite birthday present (to myself) was my little Corgi fluffy pup, Edie. She brightens every day for me and was the best thing I have ever got for myself.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes so far. You all are fabulous and I love you to pieces!

Turning 24 21 doesn’t seem so bad today ;)

Again, Happy Birthday. And though I’d like to think I could keep up with you young 20-somethings, I actually have going out plans of my own on Saturday. A night with some cool Spanish Guitars (to see if they’re worthy for my wedding). Have a great weekend and those of us not included expect a full recap next week!

Happpppy Birthday Lovely! Sounds like you have a great multi-day celebration going!

And it’s always fun to get to wear new clothes (and to get all dolled up of course!), especially when you’ve had them awhile…I can never wait though….I wear new clothes the day after I buy them!

Happy Happy Birthday Jamie! My birthday was at the beginning of this month and I turned into birthday WEEK. Try it. You’ll like it :) I agree though about your puppy, when I bought Chester he was the best thing I ever bought. Even if I had to pay for him with a creditcard because I didn’t own that kind of money. lol
