It is 12:30 pm on April 11th, and I'm substitute teaching in 5th grade. So far today, I've dressed up in my cute birthday dress from last year, been wished many happy birthdays by 5 year olds to 70 year olds, been sung to twice in English and once in Spanish and frosted cupcakes to give out during lunch to the other teachers. After school, I have a lesson with Nacho til 6:15pm... But after that?
I have no clue what I'm going to do!! >_<
My plan in my head had been to go out to dinner with my friends - but then Abby told me she had a birthday mission to go on for me tonight, and wouldn't be home til late. My plan had been to get dressed up and go into Madrid to go out Forró dancing with H, but after our snowboarding adventure, we're both still so sore that we're not 100% sure we can dance.
Sooo...
I don't know how it will turn out!? But hopefully SOMETHING exciting will go down tonight!! If not, I have big plans to actually celebrate my birthday on Saturday... Which shall involve Abby and I going to some fancy Arabic baths for a massage and spa afternoon, followed by lunch, possibly a show, and then dancing at night! ^_^
Every year my goal is to top my previous birthday... But, as you can see, I might have set the bar a little high too early on! Here is a list of my past birthday celebrations:
23rd Birthday
J and I got all dressed up for my big day! We started at Mother's Bistro, where I had chocolate chip pancakes, ham and eggs, two Bellinis and got a big slice of chocolate cake at the end! J had her usual migas and spicy Bloody Mary's. It was - without a doubt- the best start to a birthday a girl could have!! ^_^ Afterwards, it was off to our shopping spree at Coach and Tiffany & Co. In the afternoon we went to a friend's house, and she did our hair. :) A little later it was dinner time at The Melting Pot, and then finally off to Sassy's.
22nd Birthday
J and I went to San Diego to go to the zoo to see panda bears. No. Joke. The trip was awesome - filled with panda bears, sunshine, a cute hotel room, Starbucks breakfasts, meals at California Pizza Kitchen and Cheesecake Factory. My actual birthday birthday, though, was kinda meh. Ha! We went in search of sushi for half the day and finally gave up and ended up at TGIFridays drinking red headed sluts! Then we made it to Cinnabon, where a bird tried to attack us. Next we went on a mission to find the beach, which turned out to be kinda crappy... But we did finally find a really yummy sushi restaurant for dinner! ^_^ When I got back to Madison, a few friends and I went out to Opus - my favorite martini bar. :)
21st Birthday
Sam and Grandma came down to Madison to take me out to lunch at Chili's and gave me a VS gift card. :) After lunch, they took me to the mall to get Mrs. Field's cookie cups, and then over to the grocery store to get me a big birthday cake! ^_^ Later, Laura took me shopping for a perfect birthday outfit at Forever 21, and when we got back to the co-op, Julia was there to wish me a happy birthday! O_o It made me super nervous, but it was nice of her to stop by and on her way out she told B to "take good care of me" that night. <3 After I was all ready to go out, I went down to B's room and he had a bunch of Brazilian candy spelling out "Happy Birthday" with a big bottle of Brazilian cachaça for me! With one of my giant frosted cookie cups in one hand, and the bottle of cachaça in the other, I took my first HUGE swig of cachaça, and followed it up with a little bite of cookie. "Yummy!" I smiled. B stared at me incredulously and said I should really be careful with that drink and that he was going to tell his dad what I just did. Haha. It was the beginning of a beautiful love affair. ;) After a teaspoon of olive oil (B says it prevents hangovers - from experience, I think he may be onto something...), we were off. I honestly can't tell you where we all went (nobody is surprised), but I know that at one point everybody at the co-op was at The Argus drinking tootsie roll shots and singing along to, "I've got a brand pair of roller skates, you've got a brand new key..." Hahaha! ^_^ I remember that the capitol building looked really pretty in the moonlight the walk back to the co-op afterwards. :)
20th Birthday
This is weird... But I don't remember a thing from this birthday. Obviously J must have done something... But I have no clue what? O_o
19th Birthday
I went to Minneapolis for my birthday to see Steve. We went out to Sakura Sushi for dinner - where I had the BEST sushi roll of my life!! ^_^ Yummmy.
18th Birthday
Sammy and Kenny came with me to get my first tattoo. :)
17th Birthday
John had just gotten his pilot's license, and took me up in Cessie for the first time!! It was so much fun!! Then, at night, I went to Stephen's place, where he gave me a big Spongebob piñata (wtf) and his mom drove us in her convertible to the movies to see "Ice Age 2." ^_^
16th Birthday
This was my most epic birthday party ever!!! ^_^ I invited about 10 of my guy friends over to my house (mostly OLDER guy friends, who considered a "party" to have drugs and alcohol - haha) and we tie-dyed shirts, had silly string wars, grilled out, had cake, played pin the tail on the donkey (the prize was a Barbie doll named Chelsea - haha), etc. Best. Party. Ever. This was also the birthday that Stephen gave me Wellington!!! <3
15th Birthday
My birthday was on Easter, and so Scott tricked me into thinking he couldn't celebrate with me, but he showed up later and we had dinner and cake! :)
Birthday Parties K can remember from when I was a kid:
Easter egg hunt in 7th or 8th grade
Hotel sleepover in 5th grade
A salon in Cherry Creek North to get our hair and nails done, and then to Maggiano's for dinner in 3rd or 4th grade.
Make your own puppet followed by a puppet show in Kindergarten or 1st grade.
Old Spaghetti Factory - not sure when.
