Pre-birthday Nashville shenanigans all weekend long!
Brunch with my gal pal Coco at my own personal Cheers bar, Dalts.
Coco gave me a gift that I will put to very good use…
When dessert came and we didn’t have a candle, my ever ready pal had the next best thing in her purse – a match.
I returned from brunch to one of the best birthday cards ever from my Mama.
Saturday night party time with one of my fave couples…
Many toasts took place…

Skinny Pirates for me while watching March Madness.
I was presented with a gluten-free chocolate chip mini bundt cake, which I immediately felt the need to take a bite of at the bar.
After a few cocktails, it only seemed reasonable to pose for pics with jazz hands. My show choir teacher would be so proud to know that I’m keeping her legacy alive.
While drinking at the bar, why would it make sense to put the glass of rum up to your mouth when you can bend all the way over and take a drink? Well it didn’t, obviously.
What goes better together than drinks and shopping while supporting a fabulous cause?Β Cute girls selling t-shirts for cancer came through the bar and while I might have been happy enough buying the entire bar t-shirts, I limited myself to just one.
Saturday night festivities led to Ted and I eating the rest of my birthday bundt cake in bed Sunday morning, while watching our favorite Bravo show with Andy Cohen.
My girl Tiss Face read about my want of a overly priced bag last week – and look what she found for my birthday in an alley of LA! (I hope she didn’t have to perform alley tricks to purchase the bag…)
After Sunday afternoon hot yoga (I needed to ‘cleanse’ my pores after the Saturday festivities), I treated myself to my favorite Pei Wei snack – Vietnamese chicken salad rolls.
Then promptly went home and planted it on the couch, napping and waking up to this in my face.
And if you’re looking for any last-minute gift ideas (and no, it’s not Frank Shirley with a big red ribbon on his head), here’s one…a diamond Chanel J12 watch.Β I’m sure the entire blogging universe would have to kick in a year’s salary each to afford the damn thing but still, wouldn’t it look fabulous on my arm?
What’s a birthday without decor? I’m dining off my favorite napkins today.
Can you tell I hate the day I was born?

Happy (belated) birthday! Love the pics, looks like you had a great time. And that hat is great!
I had a fabulous time – and thanks on the hat. It’s a $9 miracle worker from Forever 21 (hides hangover eyes and greasy hair)!
That’s what I love about shopping – finding the treasures that don’t cost a fortune :). I have short hair, but I’ve noticed it makes it only more probable to have a bad hair day. Esp. when going to bed when hair is still wet.
Oh yeah, going to bed with wet hair never help anyone! Ha! You can still rock a fedora or beret with short hair. I might not go with a cowboy hat though…! π
That hat is awesome and I hope your birthday and birthday month have been the best. I have the WordPress upgrade that lets me post video and I cannot rave about it enough. What I got in the upgrade was well worth the money.
Thanks! Had a fabulous month! And I appreciate the video feedback – did it change anything about your site, aside from being able to post video? I’m technologically challenged and can’t have anything thrown to me out of left field on here! π
I bought a package for $79. I think, and it removed adds, upgraded my storage capacity and let me post video. It compresses the vids as you are uploading them, so they end up loading faster. It never altered the look of my theme in any way. You can cancel it within thirty days if you don’t like it. Just click on store in your dashboard and see your options.
Thank you! I’m going to check it out and am so glad it sounds easy to do (which is a must for this blonde!).
Love the hat
Thanks – it helps cover the greasy left-over-from-the-night before hair! π
Hey! Happy Birthday! Just seeing this now, I’ve been AWOL!!! Looks like you had lots of fun!! π CBXB’s style!
Thanks Girl! I am still living it up and celebrating all week! π Hope the new job is going well for ya!
Forgot to say that I LOVE your birthday card from your mama!!!
Oh I know – she really nailed it. I kinda want to keep it out all year long…
Yay!!! Happy Birthday! Looks like you rang it in in true CBXB fashion! And you got some good loot! Looks like a perfect weekend, birthday-style. Wishing you a fabulous year!
Thanks fellow March baby! It was a fun celebration indeed!
A Very Happy Birthday month π I wish you a wonderful Year ahead π I love the purse and the Chanel watch (and I don’t want to know the price as I will be greatly disappointed lol ) Hugs for you and for my wonderful Teddy xo
Thank you so much! It’s been a fun time celebrating, that’s for sure! I didn’t want to know the price of the watch, either…I think the sky might fall if I heard the truth. Teddy says meeeow!
When is your birthday? I want to be able to say happy bday properly π awww Ted makes my day, thank you and please say meeeeow back from me π
My birthday was Monday, the 25th! I am still celebrating though and I take well wishes all year round. Ha! Teddy likes having you as a meowy pen pal.
I wish you a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY and all the very best to you and Teddy π I love having him as my meowy pen pal. Please post more of him. A video would be awesome hint hint π
I’ve been thinking about upgrading and getting the video package! And, with Ted being the little camera hog/ham that he is…this comment may be all of the coaxing I need! π
Reading on line is so different than on my phone! Happy Bday Month! Glad you got the purse!
It’s true – reading online is way different that the phone. Thanks for the wishes and I can’t wait to use the purse!! π
