oh oh ohhhh birthday bliss :)

"A decade ago, I never thought I would be a 23 on the verge of spontaneous combustion, woe is me."

No, sir, friends, I can no longer sing that line when I feel like I've been spread out too thin and find it acceptable to express myself over-emotionally through song, sans dance.

I am 24.

How does it feel? The same.

Anyway. Birthday weekend was an extended fun time since the Fourth of July landed on a Friday ... hooray!

Friends, family, wine and cake ... It really can't get any better than that -- oh wait, it can, throw in my wonderful boyfriend and we can call it perfect. :)

Thursday pre-birthday birthday dinner with amazing friends at Cafe des Artistes (lamb chops and wine!) in a little alley in Hollywood, followed by more drinks at the Standard in Downtown LA.

Friday birthday dinner at the Hotel Bel Air Restaurant with a flippin' fantastic bottle of a Cobos Malbec.

Saturday BBQ with the fam then off to watch Wall-e.

Here are a few cake highlights:


Thanks to everyone who celebrated with me. I love y'all. Yes, yes I do. And yes, that was a y'all.

random.

I think I'm more of a behind-the-lens kinda girl. I love to take pictures of other people and things and places and etc., but I'm not always too comfortable in front of the camera. I think I've got an issue with the way my face looks, maybe more specifically my eyes. I believe I've got a lazy one... oooh, attractive, I know. eh. So I'm more keen to take a picture if I've got my sunglasses on, or tennis ball sized hemispheres of white chocolate with strawberry swirls covering my eyes (profile picture).
