Sixty Forty...


038

Only when you reach GROWN WOMAN STATUS can you move your birthday up to fit your schedule.

I planned an impromptu dinner and drinks/dancing for my 31st birthday this weekend.

021

My official birthday is ACTULLY the 31st (Is that my Golden Birthday?).

And that always falls during Labor Day weekend.

But this year I am not off work during the actual day I graced the earth with my presence, so I planned a get-together here.

022

As well as my home town...

The title of this post reflects that sixty percent of my big day/night was AWESOME...

Forty Percent...Not so much.

What I Learned:

1. Things sound good to people at the time, but a LOT can change on D-day...

2. Fun is what you make it...

029

3. Wearing shape wear is OK on special occasions... (Helped a lot with my food baby last night)

4. It's HARD to get even a handful of people in the same place at the same time...

5. I OFFICIALLY learned how to take a Tequila Shot Correctly...ANNNNNNNNNNNNNND the more expensive the stuff is the smoother it is... But the cheap stuff can get the job done!

6. QUALITY in friends is BETTER than Quantity...You don't have to know a lot of people to feel special.

028

7. Putting yourself out there with the RIGHT PEOPLE makes all the difference in the world.

8. I think I like being pictured with Fire Arms...

9. Try new things; you might be surprised how well they turn out!

10. Home Made cake tastes BETTER...Thank you Nora for my cupcakes!!!!
