Birthday Extravaganza part deux.

Well to go with last weekend Corey and Erin came over and took Chris and I out to dinner at Cancun- a fantastic Mexican restaurant. They then came over and baked me an awesome cake we celebrated with board games. Here is a few pictures from that evening...







Moving on to Toledo!
I went down to Toledo for a few reasons... one to attend a BFA show, and the other to celebrate birthdays! The BFA show was more or less a joke... sad to say but barely any of the faculty were there and the ones that were barely spoke a single word to me. I drove two hours to see one girl in the show= who ended up leaving within five minutes after I arrived. I'll make sure not to go out of my way to see old friends again that's for sure. However Amy, Andrea, and Kara showed up and that was an amazing time and I am glad at least someone cared to show up.
After the show ended at 8...even though it was to go til 9. The girls and I headed toward the Blarney Stone, an Irish pub downtown across from the Mud Hens stadium. I got my cover paid and a drink for my past birthday! yay!
Here is a great picture of my old drawing room- oh how I miss it!





Then on Saturday, my sister and her husband came down to celebrate our birthdays, mine a week late and hers a week early. We went out to lunch at Zingo's an awesome Mediterranean restaurant. I had a nice grilled chicken gyro. I'll take Chris there someday. After that we went shopping for maternity clothes and then back home to go out to dinner at Tony Packo's! It was a good time. Afterwards we went home for cake and presents!





It was a great night with lots of good cake!



Finally here is one of my presents from my sister and her husband- it holds our polaroids quite well!

Happy Birthday to me!

My car stopped working...and I had to get it towed to be fixed. yay. Thank god my parents are here to cover the payment until I can pay them back.

*enter emo sad face here*

Birthday!

Extravaganza issue:
So much to say! Well on Saturday Chris had class and I took the pleasure of sleeping in pretty much until 11am. Afterwards we met up with his mom and brother and they took me out to lunch at Ruby Tuesdays! and bought me presents!! Yay! Two art books- one being the 20th century art book- to match the other art book I have in the series- just two more and I will be caught up= One being the 500 self portraits and the photo book.
The other book being "Stencil Pirates" another book about graffiti artists and their trade. It also has tips and way to avoid the PoPo- not that I will be grafting anything soon but the slogan "Kill Sally May" does sound quite nice posted everywhere the eye can see. :D

Then afterwards I came home to nap for almost 2 hours in which Corey and Erin came over to take me out to dinner- this time Cancun- which was some amazing mexican food and Chris and I have never been. It was marvelous! Then afterwards they made me a devil's food cake and we played board games and got a little of the good times in with Jerry Blank. "I once cried when I had no shoes...then I met a guy who had no feet. Then I laughed... really hard." Sigh* my life would be incomplete without her.

Birthday over! yay one year wiser I guess.

Sunday:
Slept in again! and then off to Erin's apt to meet up with Corey and her friends for a little BBQ- which was also amazing. I got a little frisbee exercise in as well. It was a blast even with annoying children running around with fake birds....

so there you have it- a birthday update- of course when I go down to toledo this weekend there will be a part two of the birthday extravaganza! w00t! Of cours happy birthday to my twin too- Too bad you won't be able to come over next weekend too T-T Present is in the mail ^-^

Alanis

I know this is kind of old- but after Alanis remade "Humps" from Black Eyed Peas- she also did a Seal remix of "Crazy." I think it is fantastic! She also just released a new album and is now touring for it- her first new album since 2004. Should be promising- her new single is called "Underneath" check it out on the radios fools it is awesome!

Update

Time for an update- This weekend was a lot of fun- I spent Saturday up in Saint Johns- it was fun to go outside since it is getting nicer out. The barns were fun and I got to go in the "other one" that I haven't been in. I want one. Plus I got to dissect a mauled rabbit- which the only organs it has left were it's heart, one lung and one kidney...Awesome! We think Ming ate the rest. [dogs are gross]

Sunday my parents came up to have lunch and do tax stuff. We went browsing at Kean's and at the Antique market- it was fun. I made Red Velvet cake for dessert and it was pretty good for a box cake mix. It went really fast- but most Sundays do...especially with work looming on Monday.

Monday - after work Chris and I met up with Corey and Erin at Smokey Bones to chat and have some light appetizers. It was a great time- but hopefully Corey remembers to pick up some NORWEGIAN hand lotion.

Which leads to today- still trucking at work- and still off of overtime. It is nice for a change but hopefully we will resume in a week or so. Can't turn down the money at times like these.

Other than that just keeping busy trying to do some art everyday- and can't wait to be able to go outside all the time!
