It's a celebration bitches!

This weekend we were ready to party!

This weekend was a bit stressful. There were a lot of things going on, and the fact it was Easter weekend didn't help. I'm a planning person, don't get me wrong. I love to plan things out and organize stuff. It's in my blood. If you've ever met my mother, you know exactly where I got those skills from. Laura and I wanted to do our birthday weekend early. I actually have to go back to work, on THE DAY of my birthday this year...not cool. So it's not bloody likely I'd go out and rage on a week I have to work. I've done it before, but have crawled my way into work the next day. Ew. 

We wanted to do dinner and drinks this weekend. It was incredibly stressful. My friend Anthony came into town for a visit. He lives in Phoenix, and I haven't seen him since we graduated high school. There's a really great Japanese restaurant in our area that we like to go to, so we had planned on eating there Saturday night. I don't know what happened, but plans seemed to get super fubarred. A few of the girls, including Laura had already gone the week before. I wanted to stay with Laura for the night, considering it was our birthdays together. We both have really indecisive personalities. We couldn't come to an agreement on where to eat, so I just chose to eat at Kampai. No big deal. The other girls went to a new restaurant in the area and we ended up meeting at a few bars.

Dinner was a lot of fun. We sat and ate hibachi, which you ALWAYS end up smelling like it later. I was prepared with my Febreeze, which I ended up spraying all over everyone! I was so excited to get out and go! I finally got to wear my purple tunic dress with the sparkly sequins all over it. Shake said I could totally wear it as just a dress, but it's short. I wore leggings underneath it, with a pair of new heels.

                                     

I picked up this dress at Express a few months back, and have yet to wear it. Tonight was a perfect night to throw it on, and get out and have a great time! Dinner was a lot of fun! They do this thing there, where they throw shrimp in the air and you have to catch it in your mouth. Usually, I'm not a fan of doing this at all! It started out with Pat catching it, then Frank, Anthony, Jeff. Marissa ducked out from doing it, and then it was my turn! I kept saying "no, no no!" and then it was too late. The little shrimp flew up into the air, and I just opened up my mouth. It landed perfectly and I was super excited to keep the shrimp toss going! I saved the day! LOL. We all had so much fun. After we went out and met everyone at our local watering hole for Ashley's birthday. It was so nice to see all of my friends out in one spot, literally a big high school reunion!

After we went downtown to another spot we like to go to. It was incredibly crowded and needless to say things started getting crazy. Towards the end of the night, these two nerdy guys came up and asked to join Aisling and I. I don't like being mean to people, and there was no way I'd ever go out with these guys. I told them they could come over and sit with us, and we had some good conversation--but not GREAT. After a while Aisling and I slunked out and said we had to find our friends. It wasn't a total lie, because we did! Aisling teased me about making her talk to nerds, and that was her good deed for the night. I said I was sorry, but in hindsight, I'm glad we did. We probably made their night! They were bold to say the least, but who wouldn't want to talk to us!? 

In all, I was really happy to go out and spend the weekend with my friends. Laura and I warned everyone in advanced there would be no fighting! The only fighting there would be, is if someone literally punched someone else. Other than that, no drama please! We were happy the night went smooth, and when it ended I'm sure our feet were happy! Running around and dancing in heels for like seven hours, is never a good idea. I seriously don't know how other girls do it! Laura is a dancer, so she has an excuse. Laura wears the cutest and highest platform heels and can last all night in them. The rest of us however, are not that great at it. I was glad to get home, snuggle up in my blankets and sleep with a happy face on!
