ME! My 32nd Birthday was last Friday and everyday since then I've done a little bit of celebrating.Here is the rundown of the festivities:
Friday
I had decided to take Friday off earlier in the week, with no real plan as to where I wanted to go or what I wanted to do. It wasn't until Thursday afternoon that we had a list of things to do each day of the long weekend. On Friday afternoon I stopped at my parents house to drop off some dog food for the puppies. My parents greeted me with a warm happy birthday and a Kate Spade bag, named
Jane. ooh la la.
I left my parents house and The Boyfriend and I made our way to the
OC Fair where we shared a giant jalapeno and cheddar corn dog, tri-tip sandwich, ranch beans, ice tea, beer battered bacon wrapped dog, bacon wrapped Gouda filled mushrooms, fries, and lemonade.We looked at farm animals, watched the pig race and received a coupon for a free pound o' bacon (weird), looked at the photography and art exhibits, and listened to some live music. Over in the craft area we finally found ourselves a fountain for the bedroom, because all bedrooms should have fountains. Its very zen you know. ;)
After a long day at the fair, we made our way home where my gift from the Boyfriend was waiting in our mailbox. I ripped through the amazon box and found a card with a sweet message (he writes the best cards) and Season 7 of Friends. My collection is now complete! Best Birthday EVER!
Saturday
On Saturday we met up with my college friends and their husbands for a late lunch at Avilas. We sat outside and enjoyed the sun and company. It was a very nice and relaxing lunch. After lunch we made our way home. We were going to go out again in the evening, but lets face it, I'm old and was tired out from the fair the previous day so we just made ourselves a light dinner and watched movies and TV the rest of the evening.
Sunday
On Sunday we had decided to wake up early and head over to the Farmer's Market over at the Great Park. It has been something I've been wanting to do FOREVER. The only thing better would have been if it was the first weekend of the month so that I could go to the Antique Market too. Unfortunately, we did not get out of bed until after 11 and seeing that the Market closed at 2, and we are the slowest movers (which is fine for us because we move at the same pace hehe) we decided to ditch the market and do another semi lazy day. The Boyfriend's mom was down at the pool with some friends so we strolled down there around 3 to hang out and eat some freshly made hotdogs off of the grill. It was nice, relaxing, and I was able to get a little more color on my whiteass legs.
After about an hour, we drove down to the Fresh & Easy Express to check out whats they gots going on over there. It was pretty uneventful. We ended up buying the few items we needed and quickly headed home.That evening we made dinner and watched the Bachelorette finale. Every season I say its going to be my last and then I'm right back there watching it yet again. I blame the Boyfriend.
Monday
On this day, the Boyfriend's mom had planned on making me dinner in celebration of my birthday. The schedule didn't really work out so it was postponed to the next day.
Tuesday
Birthday dinner at the Boyfriend's mom's place. She made the most delicious fettuccine alfredo with blackened chicken. For dessert she had bought a german chocolate cake. It was sooo good..and I was soooo full. Its Wednesday and I'm still feeling the grossness from overeating such yummy food. Why does good food have to hurt so bad???
Wow this was a long post. I will come back later and insert some pictures from the fair so that it doesn't look so wordy.
