B'Day 2012

9........4....8........5.....

Yeah, so I am delayed like 7 months...I am already 27 1/2 HA! Anyway, this past birthday was quite awesome like! I felt loved, had a house guest, lost a friend, gained some acquaintances 

So my BEST Krystal Dawn came to celebrate my birthday with me, she hit me up months in advance stating how she wanted to come visit for my birthday and it was gonna be a surprise but she needed to check my schedule :)  Birthday fell on a Tuesday this year, unlike other years I was not in a planning mode... I was sorta feeling down about the whole thing. My parents weren't visiting and I didn't have anyone to kick it with. I worked all Labor Day weekend (life of retail) and I was tired. Big thing going was ALL you could Grub Shrimp at R.L. (Red Lobster) *insider

So I knew that was definitely a plan and K Dawn loves them, so it was in the plan. Tuesday, I took off....I think. Yeah, I was off. Relaxed most of day around house, phone rang, people texted. I felt the LOVE! I decided to do dinner and drinks....RP was suppose to come through, otherwise it was gonna be Lisa A and me. My homegirl came through, so it became more social....decided on Cheddar's (cheap, strong drinks) and it was a centralized location. Got my brows threaded and of course was late to restaurant. I had a table of 5 people awaiting me...it was heartfelt. They ate, I drank to my heart's desire. Funny moment was shot time......Rosa wanted to order me a shot, Nina chimed in....she doesn't like Patron anymore, that was like last year! Me: shaking head. Rosa: Well, she always drank it before. I was like just get 1800, it will work. Nina and I are pro tequila shooters and yes, we're over Patron. So needless to say knowing the two of them really don't care for each other I knew that would probably be the last combined gathering (some friends need to be apart). I laughed inside though as the thought of them two going back and forth about what I like. 

Krystal wasn't due in town until the weekend.......

For Krystal arrival, we were set to hit Fridays for a quick meal, then The Park once I was off.....Malikka even drove up from San Ant to see her cousin. The out spot was cool, more shots, free shots off the white boys trying to show the ladies a good time. Definitely a great time, Krystal was on the picture taking. We crashed that night once arriving home. Saturday, I actually cooked for my friend ( it was a requirement) LOL 

We did shopping all day Saturday(not my idea of fun)...I wanted to be drunk, she was not having that! I got away with a quick snack at Fridays before hitting up the dinner spot. Table of 8, I felt the love! RP and her man flaked out on me last moment (sidebar: we didn't talk again until recently). Then downtown dirty 6th was set plan with Nina and Adriana (her co worker)....I had been bugging Quincy all week about Krystal coming and how he needed to come out for my birthday. After a few shots at home.....Krystal and I drove South headed downtown to meet Nina but swung by and grabbed Quincy ( I wasn't taking no), it was my night! Downtown was uneventful but we had a blast drinking, taking shots and dancing....yes dancing all night! We stayed out all night that eve. Drove back North in wee hours of the morning after sobering up. Slept like a few hours, grabbed some breakfast tacos and get Krystal to the airport. It was a WONDERFUL WORLDWIND OF CELEBRATION!! Would not change a moment......
