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? 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. 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?
