Don’t miss me too much!
I’ll be continuing the birthday celebrations for the next two days in Tampa with some pretty awesome ladies. We’ll be seeing Bush live (twice in one day – who has the opportunity to do that) and then visiting Busch Gardens! I’m really excited for a girlie road trip, and even more excited to finally meet the lovely blogger, Terri, of Delightfully Darling after years of online friendship.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
So who doesn’t get excited for not only the astonishing athleticism, picture perfect finishes, and swelling moments of pride of the Summer Olympics, but also for the eye candy?!? Every hot blooded female knows exactly where it’s at too: swimming. These dudes are in extraordinary shape, making the sport pretty easy on the eyes, but it also helps that it is usually one of the most exhilarating to watch – namely the mens relay. And although the US were striped of the gold during the final seconds by France, our boys took it in stride. Namely, Nathan Adrian, the 23 year old, 6’6″ hunky Berkeley grad.
Put on your cougar hat and proceed with caution.
After a fun trip to the Keys with some of my closest friends, I closed my birthday weekend with a family get together at my sister’s house. We had a great time laughing, reminiscing and comparing sibling similarities. I wanted to be comfortable, but also play the role of the birthday girl. I thought it was the perfect opportunity to pull out my new H&M outfit that I picked up while in California a couple of weeks back. I can’t tell you how in love I am with it and I can’t wait to remix the separate pieces. Apparently polka dots were a theme this year. 😉

Even though it seems like the hubs and I would spend a ridiculous amount of time together, we don’t really get a chance to be alone and romantic too much. Life tends to get in the way, like it often does, and before we know it, we have not gone on a date in months. I think dates are a super important part of relationships that help keep them fresh and fun, so I was very happy when the hubs suggested we have a romantic dinner date for my birthday this past weekend.
We ate at Grazianos, a really delicious Argentinian steak house (we are carnivores), where we had good wine, good conversation, and snuck in some sweet hand holding and flirtatious looks. It was followed by seeing Wes Anderson’s latest flick, Moonrise Kingdom, which was hands down adorable and the perfect choice for the evening (he had deemed Batman wasn’t romantic enough). And it was lovely. I couldn’t imagine starting my birthday weekend off better.
I am such a lucky girl.
I had a thing for Stitch for a very long time (OK, I still do). My 21st family birthday cake had his face on it (my friends got me one with Elijah Wood’s face on it – ha), and I basically had every single piece of Stitch-related paraphernalia available. People even state that my dogs are very Stitch-like (they are), so naturally I NEED THIS CASE. Did I make myself clear?
