Twenty- Four

Well I must say... I am still freaking tired from the weekend, but I wouldn't have traded it in for anything!!!

Lets start at the beginning... Friends show up at 6:40 ( I told them 30 mins earlier than we actually needed to leave because of the previous time issue we have had. Read the time blog if you don't know what I am talking about) 

We head downtown to get my "cake" ...ok cupcakes and get to the restaurant on time. Here is where it starts: 1. there is a Halloween parade going on so a ton of "one way" streets are closed ...we drive around in circles for like 20 mins trying to get to where we need to go.   2. We have to go on an uphill-one way valet lot. ( yea it was nuts) 

But we get the cakes and we are on our way! 

Dinner was amazing! 10 girlies showed up and we just had a ball. We took pics and laughed. Food was pricey but the experience was priceless!

After that was party time....and boy did we! The pub was nice enough to give me a free bottle of champagne. (which I drank by myself) got tons of free drinks and even money! 

Remember in the previous blog, Mr. R??  Well through random text messaging I invited a ton of people and told them to come to my party. He was on the list and told me he would ask his buddy if he wanted to go. 

Low and behold, him and his friend showed up!!! Now I know I have been a man hater for quite sometime now, and don't get it twisted I still am. But boy did it feel good to have a boy show up just for me.

We hung out all night, took pics together and he bought me drinks... I felt like we were getting comfortable with each other. 

At the end of the night we got dropped off at my house to get my car( there was no way I was going to drive myself) and set off to his house.

I was fully prepared to stay on the couch and just chill. But that is not what happen.... 

We pillow fought, laughed under the covers and looked sweet at each other ( bedhead, morning breath and all) 

We finally got up at 12 and ran errands and then went to lunch ( guess it was a date)! he paid. 

It was the best thing I could have ever asked for...He says he will call/text but I am very content with just leaving things like they are... I guess I am saying if he doesn't call, I wont be upset. 

This birthday is up there in the top 5! 

Next year: Vegas baby! 

Craziness

It has been crazy. But fun.
Im tired, but making progress.

OK random thoughts.. but that is how I am feeling.
Have you ever been so busy that you dont have any other time to think critcally about life or your situtation.

Life is just flying by... Birthday and new 2nd job has put me in a total crazy situtation.

My brain is to occuiped at the moment. Stayed tuned.

It's my party and I can cry if I want to...

Birthdays.... What exactly is the big deal? It is the day that you popped out and said "Hello" to the world.

Since my grand entrance, with the exception of a few years, I have had some what of a lavish party to celebrate my birth.

Huge pizza party at 11, Boy-girl party at 13, and Delicious BBQ for the big
2-1!

But for some reason this year is different? Its not a milestone birthday just a regular year... So why is there so much drama?

After talking this over with my mentor she gave me some insightful information that made me have a different perspective about the predicament.

She says: " As you get older... its not always possible to have a party or get everyone together at once because of the busy lives that we live. So just know that all your friends love you and will show you with a gesture of their own". She also says that some years are better than others and you get blessings that you would never think of.

I don't know if I agree with that. Life is busy yes, But we somehow make it to hang out with "friends" after work, get together, and dinner.

2 hours for a friend's birthday dinner will not kill you (unless you don't like the person)

I will continue to try to not let the conflicting schedules, messed up invitations and over priced cakes worry me.

Perfection is one of my weaknesses.
