We gonna party, like it's ma birthday

Last week was my birthday. My 24th birthday to be exact. That means next year I'll be a quarter of a century. I feel so old and so young at the same time mostly. It bothers me when I try and think about everything I have done, and everything I haven't done. But for my birthday we had...

Ice cream cake! The momma makes this every single year for my birthday. Because I'm a July baby and we have to have ice cream to keep it cool...
Blowing out the cute black and white birthday candles...
My teen cousins who are officially and embarassingly cooler than me
Other ickles swimming in the pool
Lifeguard daddio
It was good times in beautiful California!

Goodbye Cali

Yesterday I flew back to NYC and said goodbye to my sweet California for the next who knows how long! Of course for my last meal I got In'n'Out goodness.

Chocolate milkshakes!
Burgers animal style
Yum Yum!

Oh me, oh my

Don't tell my husband how many nail polishes I'm bringing back to NYC with me.


I think I have an addiction...

Why going home for vacay is nice...

You get to make treats to your hearts content : )


Chocolate cupcakes with a surprise inside and chocolate ganache


Doughnut muffins covered in butter and cinnamon and sugar. Yum!

Task #2

Task number two of arriving in California....



Eating an animal style hamburger and sucking down a thick chocolate milk shake. Officially back in Cali!

Task #1

Task number one when I get home? Get a much needed hair chop!






My head feels so much lighter and I feel so much sassier : )

Observations

At present I'm stuck in the dallas airport. This being my first experience with Texas, I have some observations.

1. The airport in general and all food places (even mcdonalds) smell like BBQ. Texas apparently loves their BBQ.
2. They have a little room specifically for veterans/service people. They love their troops!
3. There is a chapel, with a check in. God is watching yooooou!

So far, texas is interesting : )
