Party Dress

Did you notice my earrings? They’re very subtle. Just wanted to make sure.

You didn’t think I was done talking about my birthday, did you? Because I’m totally not. But I will be in just a minute, I swear.

A weekday birthday just means you get to extend the celebration through the weekend, when you can actually get your friends together to spoil you with attention and presents and drinks. I was lucky to have lots of cool people go out of their way to hang out with me in two different shifts on Saturday. In the afternoon I went to New Day, which is a bar that just serves craft meads and ciders. I usually don’t like super sweet drinks, but I was pleasantly surprised that I liked all 6 of the samples in my flight! These weren’t like syrupy honey wines I’ve had before (yuck); they were all light and yummy. After a nap (#thisis30), I went back out with more friends for Mediterranean food (one of my favorites) at Canal Bistro. One of my friends told the waiter it was my 21st birthday and he believed her, bless his heart. Best birthday gift I could have asked for. So basically, lots of fun and deliciousness was enjoyed by all. Great birthday week.

And one of the best parts of any birthday is having an excuse to dress fancier than everyone else, and sometimes fancier than is really acceptable for what you’re doing. YES, I WILL WEAR GINORMOUS EARRINGS FOR DAY DRINKING. IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY 2 DAYS AGO.
