happy birthday to my big sister joan :) she is the big 3-0 - three decades old. crazy huh? actually it's not that bad - i mean.. it doesn't really seem any different. we were going to watch that episode of friends where rachel turns 30, but it wasn't totally fitting because it doesn't really seem like that at all. no dismay or anything. i was thinking about how i'm turning 25 this year, and it's kind of cool that we'll always be celebrating big milestone bdays in the same year. like.. mid-decade or decade birthdays. i dunno why, but to me those seem like milestones.

anyways.. i made my sister cupcakes and put them in my cupcake stand and left them for her to find when she wakes up. i took a few pictures, but didn't have time to really do much with them cuz i was rushing out the door to get to work. maybe later. they kind of ended up looking a little bit like the hostess cupcakes because i used chocolate frosting and then wrote on them with white frosting.. so from far away maybe that's what they'd be mistaken for. i like them regardless. and they looked especially awesome in my cupcake stand. i love it.

this past weekend was up and down.. kind of weird. friday went to see thank you for smoking with friends, yes for the second time.. but it was good, and i wanted to go with my friends to see it, so that's what you gotta do. we tried to go out later, but it didn't quite work out, but me and courtney ended up at this karaoke place that was kind of fun.. but i was already kind of pooped, and not in the mood to drink (i know.. bizarre right? jk) and so i wanted to go home early. saturday - funeral for my old lady neighbor - will blog about her later... can't do it right now).. saturday night i was in a weird funk mood, but i had to go to target and then bought 3 pairs of shoes to cheer myself up a little. hahaha.. retail therapy is good times. went to a party that wasn't so hot and then headed home. sunday - birthday party fun galore. too much food, 3 different cakes, beard papa cream puffs and i am the scene it "alternate title for movie" champion and trump might be a new favorite game. good times really.

okay.. i'm super exhausted.. i'm in this weird disfunctional state. i can't even really eat or drink correctly - i've choked 2 or 3 times. brilliant huh? okay.. back to work.. maybe. i also gotta figure out some 401k info. and what kind of kegs to get. haha. it's all work related.. i swear.

ps. sakura i did use the shampoo sunday morning. you guys are right. super clean :)
