Fab U lous

can we say my birthday was OFF the HOOK!

i woke up and prayed and meditated at about 6am, giving thanks for GOD giving me another year of life...man I am 27, only 3 years until 30, time to really make some goals....but that's another blog for another day....

upon finishing my prayers, he calling telling me happy birthday! That was the first great gift...

i heard from the bestest and then my mommy...

i got up and ate some breakfast, went to the mall and found an outfit all by myself, will not really because i sent KC pictures of two different dresses (thank goodness for picture phones) but the accessories and all of that i did by myself!
NOTE: i seem to always be able to pick stuff out for others but never for myself...

then it was off to the spa (i specifically deceided that i was going to go to the mall before my spa treatment so that i would stay on task)

so i get a swedish whole body message, a deluxe pedicure and manicure...can we say peaceful! Aww man it wasn't enough time in the day...

after the spa, it was off to try to find a pair of jeans, and how about this the woman that can NEVER find jeans that fit me, found not ONE but TWO pairs of jeans in the GAP...

so my birthday so far, is just absolutely GREAT...but wait it gets better...

grab a salad and went home to iron my clothes for the evening because the ladies and I were going to dinner

but before i could go to dinner i had to go and get my "face" done at the MAC counter (hey why not, never had it done before)

so i am totally nervous and it turned out to be extremely beautiful!

so back to the house to get dressed...

the bestest was there waiting on me, and she helped me talk out my corn rows and make my hair fluffy anf full...

so we are dressed and off...

we meet the ladies at Kobe's in Largo and had a BALL you here me...a total BALL!!!

Games included....YES JCroft and KC organized the event, and JCroft brought games, and I loved it...

we laughed and joked and had so much fun....but this was just the beginning....

I tend to not like going out to much anymore (yes jCroft i know i suck, but hey what can I say, i don't party) but we decided to go to the Avenue...my brother's friend works the door, so not only did we get in for FREE but we didn't wait in line...AWESOME

we get inside and the DJ is actually pumping....needless to say we partied our little hearts out...it was such a WONDERFUL time....we partied back...i mean partied

my brithday was FAB U LOUS!!!

i had so much fun, i mean i haven't had a birthday like that in i don't know how long...there were a couple of times when things that were totally out of my control could have totally gotten to me, but i decided to totally practice what i preach and that is CHOSE MY ATTITUDE....

Friday was MY day, and I made the most of MY day, and the little things like the guy getting smart with me about my pedi or the people at the MAC counter being taken aback because the last appointment should have been for 5 and not 6, but that wasn't my problem, i patiently waited and let them figure it out and got my make up done....

so i learned a lesson, i already knew though, things you have no control don't stress, you can create your enviroment...and i was totally blessed and just appreciated that, and had the GREATEST time ever....

so to my ladies (yes that includes you Jai ) THANK YOU!!! Words cannot fully express how wonderful it feels to have sistah's such as yourselves...
