:woohoo: It began on a Thursday! The next ten years of my life! I woke up singing Happy Birthday to myself. No one else in the house was stirring. There might have been a mouse, but I didn't see one thank goodness for that! After putting my makeup on, Hubby came to wish me happy birthday before he jumped in the shower! Aw, sweet. Before we left for work, Hubby gave me my new yoga mat and gym bag for all my yoga goodies! So wonderful! I went to work and got some presents! First, my boss brought pastries for my 9:30 am meeting! Then, I she gave me a box of chocolates! Yummy. My other boss brought in tulips to make my cube nice a bright! In the mail, my prezzie from my Brother and Sister in-law arrived and I opened it right away of course! Two belts, a gift card to Target, and a beautiful necklace were each wrapped up in cute paper and placed in a pink leather box...wonder what cow gave up his hide for my pink box! :rotfl: Work was just normal, but then I came home and went to yoga. Yoga was brutal and started late, but the class sang to me and some of the people even gave me hugs! It was a perfect birthday! Friday Hubby had the day off and I had an appointment with Trainer. Hubby took Izzy to daycare and then we went to work out. Trainer kicked my butt in the arms. Geeze. It totally made me happy yet extremely tired! I signed up for 6 more sessions! Hubby and I came home and decided while we were in the shower to go to lunch at a favorite pizza place, Tutta Bella! Yummy. On the way to lunch, I started to get a migraine, but I had some exceterine migraine and was fine! We ate delish. pizza and then had some gelato! Yummy to the max! Yummy in my tummy! MMMMM. Can't stop thinking of the wonderful Tutta Bella. Oh, I almost forgot, I went there on my actual birthday the day before too! So good. I say that if you're ever in Seattle, go to Tutta Bella in the Walingford neighborhood! Yummy! So, Friday, on the way home from Tutta Bella, we stopped at the mall for a little spin. I don't think I bought anything, but it was still fun. That's when it started snowing! Never thought it would snow on my birthday weekend! Well, there it was, pouring down.Snow on the way home from the mall. Hubby's friend came over and so did the babysitter and we went out to dinner at the Mexican Restaurant, Azteca. Yummy Arroz con Pollo and Sangria!!!!!!! I know, right, you all wish you were me! We came home and drank a bottle of wine, oh wait, I drank a bottle of wine while the guys drank beer and then we engaged in a little three way action. Just kidding, but I'm sure I made you want to read on! I did my nails and chattered on Sugar while we all watched that Matt Damon movie about the CIA. What the heck, I can't remember the name...Oh, the Good Shepard. Confusing while drinking wine and doing my nails and chattering on sugar, but still a fine movie. My nails were awesome!Casino Nails! Woohoo. Saturday I slept in a little bit and then we got up and played for a while at home. Then we got ready and went to a kid's party about an hour away! It was actually my friend from when I was little's little girl turning one. I met back up with my friend by finding her on Myspace. She used to live four doors down from me when I was growing up. She was like a sister. Then she moved away and we hung out way less. After high school we just drifted apart and she got pregnant, married, preggers again, divorced, married again, preggers again and then we found each other. Wow. Anyhoot, the party was at the YMCA and was tons of fun! Playing at the Y I wanted to stay longer, but we had to get Izzy to the In-law's and get up to my party! We jumped a little more on the trampoline and then began the trek back up North. We dropped Izzy off without incident and then we almost got to the freeway when the In-laws called to say that there was no carseat. CRAP! We forgot. Well, they just worked it out and we didn't have to go back! We stopped and got the cake and found the classiest truck ever! I wish I was this classy. We got to the hotel, checked in, and then had ice cream cake and did more prezzies!!!! Good blow! We loaded into the shuttle and walked right into a bachelorette party! It was funny to see all these already drunk chicks on the bus. One told me my bra was showing and I just thanked her and didn't adjust. I was a bit pissy, but my cleavage was spectacular! Hot mama coming through! One chica announced, "My jacket doesn't have any pockets...that sucks." That summed up her intellegence...nice. :rotfl: Then my dad, yep, my DAD, put a $1 in the bride's bra as per their scavenger hunt...I said that he should use his teeth, but mom nixed that idea. When we got to the casino and immediately lost $50 playing 3 card poker. I perused other games and lost some more. I drank a ton of lemon drops though...everyone bought me drinks. It's not like Vegas, you have to pay for the drinks...even when you're gambling. That sucks! I came back to my original table and sustained just about all night. Brother lost $250 and got up...first hand with "Alfredo" and he got a straight flush which paid 40 to 1. Well, bully for him. He was happy and we were all just reeling. Hubby announced, "Don't tell Brother! He'll go out and kill himself!" We told him anyway, and he went to the bar to start the shots! Three out of 6 of us got comps so we went to eat. Brother kept wondering out loud where his French Dip sandwich was. He was plastered. I wasn't too bad, but I didn't even try to count how many lemon drops I had. I'm guessing a dozen or so. Nice. After some yummy seafood pasta, it was already 2 am and time to go home. The shuttle back to the hotel took forever because there were a bunch of stops! Ug, we didn't know what was going on and we were tired...the same jacket chica was on the shuttle home! Brother kept saying jerky things to her which were funny, but I can't really recall what he actually said. So, she was silent, but Brother kept saying stuff. We rocked like party stars and then tried to sleep it off. Brother...stupid brother, woke up early and then woke us all up. "The mall is open, let's get going." Yes Sirree! We then went shopping and I bought my Spring/Summer bag! I love it! My new bag from the Coach outlet!!! Then we came home and picked Izzy up and we all took a long nap! Bliss, right there. So far, 30 rocks!
