23rd Birthday Recap

First news – I got the Old Navy job!! I was quite excited when I got the phone call. Even though it’s close to minimum wage, a job is a job. And I just need something to supplement nannying for the next couple months.

Now for a birthday recap! Thursday night (on my actual birthday) the roommates and I went to the Madonna Inn for dessert. It’s pretty much a very tacky tourist attraction – but still cool to check out at least once. You might have seen it on the travel channel, The Bachelor, or even The Girls Next Door

The desserts are intense! It took us a good 15 minutes to decide what to get. We all ordered something and shared bites

Banana cream pie (with huge chunks of real banana pieces!)

Apple spice cake – tasted similar to carrot cake.

Toffee crunch cake (sorry no close up)

And me with my strawberry cake

All sooooooooo good!

Unfortunate blurry photo

I was also surprised by flowers on my doorstep!

I seriously did not expect my parents to send me flowers since I’m going home this coming weekend to celebrate with the family. But it made me happy

The day of the party, we ordered pizza for dinner.

I had 2 slices of pesto cheese.

And two BBQ chicken.

Pizza never has never failed me for a night of drinking. I was hoping it would be my friend again

We then got ready for some celebrating! Started out with my new purchase – bubblegum vodka (yes – you read that right).  Wasn’t bad as a shot, and quite tasty mixed with sprite!

Oh and PS – I obviously chose this dress I loved the other one too. But got many more votes from all of you and people here for this one. I didn’t decide until 10 minutes before I got ready!

I also got my hair cut the day of our party. It’s hard to tell in many of the pictures. I only got a trim and a bunch more layers added. I actually wish I got more – I love layers

Then we headed over to our friends’ house for the joint birthday celebrating to begin!

And then we headed downtown to dance away, but there are no decent pictures to post. Or that I feel comfortable posting. Sorry – just not attractive photos! haha

The night was lots of fun and it was a great birthday success!

Today was filled with french toast

“California Dreamin” sandwich from Vons (sans bacon) for lunch (turkey, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, onion, peppercinis, mustard, and ranch spread on rustic Italian bread).

Pssst Vons/Safeway has the best sandwiches! And for $4.99!! Can’t beat it.

And egg scramble with Amy’s veggie burger for dinner.

And multiple snacks throughout the day – of course.

What was your most memorable birthday ever?

My 10th birthday, my mom took me and some friends to spend the night in a hotel. It was so exciting! And my friends also kidnapped me the morning of my 14th birthday to go to breakfast before school. Both those are pretty memorable But this one is up there! It was lots of fun to dress up and celebrate wtih friends.
