Birthday parties, presents, hangovers and Mr. 3000

So this past Thursday (07/07) was my birthday. I did a small dinner @ my parents where I got some awesome birthday presents from the family. Colleen got me a no gravity chair for the beach. I have been obsessed with these all summer so I can't wait to break it in next weekend.

My parents got me the Cannon Rebel Eos. I've been wanting to take up photography as a hobby. It is a whole lot of camera but i'm hoping that Vee will be my photography mentor.

I also got 2 dozen beautiful roses and a couple of gift cards to Pier 1 Imports.  Friday Colleen and I tried to continue my birthday celebration by heading out to Folly but the weather was not permitting this weekend. However we did get a pedicure. Friday night we all went to dinner at Zocalo's out in North Charleston around the Park Circle area.  The dinner was really good and the drinks weren't too bad either.. 

We continued onto Wild Wings and this is where things may have taken a small turn for the worse.  Colleen though it would be funny to buy me a shot of Chartreuse.  It literally tasted like Lysol. It was horrible. She laughed.

There were a few pickled Mexicans, some frothy yellow shot, vodka waters with 2 lemons and then around 12:30 it was time for me to go home. So with Lindsey and Colleen in tow I headed home.  I woke up the next day praying to the porcelain God and I did not even start to feel semi normal until almost 5:00 pm.

All in all my birthday weekend was a great time and I have an awesome family, friends and boyfriend to thank for that. Turning 33 isn't too bad...

Oh and of course Derek Jeter hit # 3000 on Saturday July 9th. I was awake for that and it was glorious. 

Until next time!!!
