Day 327 celebrates with cupcakes

Today was my mom's birthday! We celebrated with cupcakes from Felix's. Cannoli for me, vanilla for her. Yum! Happy birthday mom :)

Day 299 gets some me time

My mom's birthday is this month. In the mail today she got this 15% off coupon from Anthropologie. Plus this adorable bracelet. How sweet of them to mail these out!

Day 270 wishes you a happy birthday!

Have you all already met Irving? He's a star. A traveling mouse that has found his way into much of Europe, most of the US, bridal showers, weddings, road-trips - you name it! Today is his birthday. At least it is according to facebook. We made a birthday hat for him at breakfast. Adorbs, right?

Day 218, no excuses

I got a late start to Day 218. Then I went out to celebrate a friend's birthday. Poor excuses for late posting - sorry faithful readers! As per usual, I was in a rush to get ready. Here I am, still shoeless as my ride was waiting for me outside. Looks like I need a lesson in time management.

Day 55 is feeling old

I'm getting old you guys!! Okay, perhaps that is a bit dramatic, but i've reached a quarter-life age and shit is getting real now. I think. Maybe that's just something I read somewhere cause I feel pretty much the same as I did yesterday. Except tonight I did have a fancy dinner with my sister to celebrate my old age. We ended the night with some espresso/hazelnut gelato and tiramisu. It was a party in my mouth. Birthday part aside, I could go for these kinds of meals on the regular. Yumm!

ps. thanks for alllll the birthday love friends and readers near and far! You really know how to make a birthday girl feel loved. :)

Day 40 knows what's coming

Well friends, it's happening. Every.single.year. of my life I get sick around my birthday. It's probably less because of my birthday and more because it's February and thats when people get sick, but either way, I choose to believe my impending aging is directly responsible for my being sick. This morning I felt the early signs and knew what was coming. A sore throat usually turns into a throat infection and a slight fever turns into the flu and a runny nose turns into a full blown ear infection. I'm not kidding, this always happens to me.

I kicked off my morning with some Emergen-C hoping it would at least help me get through the day. It definitely helped, but I know I'm not off the hook. I'll be sick in bed just like Katie soon. The real question is, who's gonna bring me a heart-shaped dunkin donut??

Day 9 is 25

Today is my 25th birthday! And we all know what that means – I can legally rent a car and I’m more than half way to 40. Woof. Hey, at least there’s cake!
