fill in the blank friday.

Yesterday was my birthday!

Even though I love birthdays, I’m still feeling a little old at 26 (I know, I know…it’s not really that old…but let me vent…).  I did feel a little better when I got carded ordering wine at dinner.  Although I felt old again when I pulled out my little paper interim license because I had to go renew it today since it’s been…. dun…dun…dun….TEN whole years since I’ve had it.  Oh, getting older….


SO – in honor of birthdays I decided to go with a birthday theme for today’s blanks.  Hope you enjoy!

{picnik was failing me, thus no text}


1.  Birthdays are:       my favorite thing.  I love feeling special and having a day for myself, but I also love celebrating other people’s birthdays and making their day special for them too.


2.  My favorite birthday memory was      my mom bringing cupcakes to my ballet class for my 5th birthday (they even had little plastic ballerinas on top!).  We ran out of cupcakes and I didn’t actually get one.  I threw a fit.  But then we went home and my mom made me a whole batch of cupcakes all to myself 🙂   .

3.  A birthday tradition I (or my family) has is       watching the meteor shower that happens every year on my birthday  .

4.  If I had to choose one birthday meal to eat for the rest of my birthdays hence forward, I would choose       Papa Haydn, which is where we went last night.  I had a delicious chicken/bacon sandwich, french fries and chocolate truffle cake.  Perfection  .

5.  My birthday is on     August 12th – I’m a Leo! .

6.  If I could take a birthday trip I would go       to Dubai.  It seems like the kind of place you could live it up…like Vegas…only classier and without the ads for legal prostitution littering the sidewalks  .

7.  The best gift I’ve ever received for my birthday was      a hot pink LoveSac from Craig the summer before moving away to college.  Even though it wasn’t the coolest gift, it was so thoughtful.  I was decorating my dorm room in hot pink and lime green and he knew it would be the perfect compliment.  And yes…I did say hot pink and lime green.  Don’t ask what I was thinking – I’m still not quite sure myself      . 

Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

  1. Happy belated birthday! I’m glad you had a fabulous birthday dinner 🙂 Also, I love that gift! One because that was very thoughtful of him, but mostly because LoveSacs are so comfortable! One of my best friends has one and I make every excuse possible to sit on it as much as possible.
