its all about ME day

1. today i officially turned twenty eighteen. not sure at what time given that i was adopted so i started celebrating last night which is the only right thing to do.

2. 3 of the greatest ladies that i know took me out for a tapas dinner. none of us had been to a place called kelly jae's so thats where i picked. it was SOOO yummy! this is a key lime cheesecake that we all split. my face is beet red in this picture. our waitress came out singing happy birthday in her beautiful voice. it was awesome yet so embarrassing!

3. today we headed up to new buffalo, ate lunch at the stray dogs, shopped some, went to the beach, got ice cream then headed to colma, michigan to visit a winery called karma vista. went home only to get ready for dinner at the vine and to pick up hamilton. {we did this last year and decided to make it a birthday tradition}

4. i was showered with a gift card to the evil donut shop called krispy kreme donuts, krispy kreme donut mugs, a pre- order of justin{shitmydadsays} on twitter book. i also finally, finally, after many visits, broke down and bought a stray dogs sweatshirt. i also got 12 bottles of wine- tradition from last year. they only sell my favorite- watusi red at the winery so i had to stock up.

5. i feel like i've gained 10 pounds from all the delicious food i have consumed in the past 24 hours.

6. my old, back in my high school days, boss who is also my friend is taking me out next saturday with some other girls to dinner and a movie. its tradition though this will be my first birthday to be included in their group. the last time i went out with them...kristi did a few too many shots.

7. i wish i could celebrate something everyday because this has been pretty fantastic. everyday should be a party!

8. watched love happens with jennifer aniston tonight. it was a decent movie. i've always wanted to open a flower shop like in the movie. my hippie high school name was gertie flowers so it only makes sense.

9. ham asked me at dinner what i wanted for my 40th birthday. i said a house in hawaii but in reality, i really don't know. do other woman want something materialistic for their 40th or is it just a man thing?

10. mike wants a porsche. my brother got a corvette. my dad got a boat but he was over the age of 40 when he got it. mom made him sell it.
