join the club.

dave made it to the big 3-0 last wednesday! ha ha ! i'm not the only one now!!! shane and i headed to fort greene for the celebration.

we all met for dinner at the smoke joint, a small and casual but very yummy bbq joint.

we had to wait a while to get the food. and since you just order at the counter and one person basically makes all of the food, we all got our food separately.


dave got his first. i guess this was his impression a pirate eating bbq!

in case you were wondering, the smoke joint is vegetarian friendly! i was actually curious as to why we were going there as dave is a vegetarian! he orders the crispy catfish and devours the fries.


i got the hacked chicken sandwich! ooohhh! i loved it! there was so much meat! and the sauce dripped all over your hands! lovely! the fries were amazing! just spicy enough!


shane also ordered the joint rubbed corn on the cob. i was unexpectedly full and coudn't really try it. but it looked good!


britt and gabe join the festivities.


james and yasmine are normally very smiley, happy people! they conversation must have been riviting!


adam strikes a pose.



on to some irish pub across the street that i can't remember the name of. i had the great idea to pick up some twinkies from the newsstand next door to the restaurant and bring them to the bar and then surprise dave with a "cake"! when we got the the irish bar, the waitress said that we couldn't eat outside food. whateves. so britt and i ordered dave a slice of chocolate mousse cake. you gotta have cake on your birthday!


surprise!

i was craving somethings sweet myself, so i tried to discretely pull a package of twinkies out of the bag that i had shoved under my seat. in my effort to be discreet, i created an embarrassing scene .... i slid off my chair and pushed the table down and fell to my hands! all for the love of dessert!


shhhh ... don't tell the waitress!
*note, these aren't real twinkies! the news stand only had lady linda's. sounds fancy.

since it was a school night, we had to head on home.


britt and i on the train, having a conversation about people we don't like anymore that just a little too loud. oops!


nap time on the metro-north.

here it is ...

6.24.76

yes, the day is here! my big ol' birthday!!! i can't believe it - i'm thirty!!! i don't feel thirty. i don't think i look thirty! (or do i ?!?!)

i used to always think that being thirty was a pretty big deal. my parents had me when they were thirty. and growing up in the suburbs of chicago, being thirty meant that you were "older" now, not "fun" anymore. an adult who was having kids, driving the mini van, getting fat - you know the type. settled.

but living in new york, i feel the complete opposite! i feel young as ever! i go out and do new and fun things and act just as crazy as i did when i was 22! i can't imagine being a boring adult. why settle for that?!

so here is to just being another year older (why bother with calling out numbers!) i apparently just get better as i age!!!

finally, my birthday!!!

june is a very important month. 2 major things happen.
#1 this little blog here turns 1 year old very soon! congrats to you, whats the code!!!
#2 it's my birthday!!!! my birthday is actually on the 24th, but due to scheduling, i had to celebrate early. so saturday nite was my party!
woo hoo!!

now this is a big birthday for me! (i won't say the number - you guess!) but it required a fabulous party! it was great! so many friends showed up! we ate, drank, drank, drank ... good times!
i really think it was probably my best birthday ever!!!

hope got me a tiara to wear! appropriate!


here is the real princess though - mills!!!

i decided to make turkey tacos for everyone. mostly because i am a horrible cook and i seemed pretty easy.


here i am trying to peel the head of lettuce. god help me.


and voila! the first taco of the evening! and they were pretty damn good!
i must say thanks to hope for cooking up the meat. i can't take credit for everything!


but this here makes a much quicker and easer meal! how i love you!


shane eats his first taco ... ever!! you know, he's irish. he only eats meat and potatoes!


hope displays her pot o' meat. looking back, it kinda looks like little rabbit turds! yum!


shane approves.


kelly shows up with her overly-spicy guacamolly!


shane tell jordi about a group of people in scotland know as "jordis" and the joke about "jordi jeans - tight in the ass!"

the scorpions were blasting from my computer, my window fell out of ... my window, girls were fights about shoes, sarah got her period in her mouth, and this was going on in my bed.



whoa.


as my grandma would say, "after laughter, comes tears!"

i laugh at this story every time i hear it, but shane went to give matt a hi-five, but accidentally punched him in the eye. i know i shouldn't laugh, but i am.
hi five!!!!
