This chick is amazing…smart, successful, gorgeous, loyal, trusting, easy to talk to, and funny as Hell. She’s been a best friend to me over the past 7 months, and deserves nothing but the absolute best!
Raise your champagne glasses on a Monday to greekalicious. It’s her birthday!
This just made my (birth)day! I’m so blessed to have a friend like you in my life. Love you girl! ♥
Pardon the ‘woe is me, I’m getting old’ post.
I turn 29 next week. I have NO CLUE how to celebrate. I really want to just put on my pj’s, drink a 1.5 liter bottle of wine and over-eat a serving bowl full of pasta. It doesn’t help that my bee-day falls in the midst of my SAD (google it)… but let’s add the fact that I’ll be celebrating my last born day in my 20’s and I’m ALL ABOUT “let’s celebrate y’all!” (psych)
I know, I should go out… but where? I’m not trying to go out and get wasted, let’s be real people. Time to grow up. I just can’t figure out an appropriate place to go out and celebrate with the handful of friends that will want to partake. Somewhere mellow, but fun. Laid-back, but will be a memorable evening for all involved. How do you mesh the two? There’s gotta be somewhere I can arrange a small get-together! It’s Chicago for cryin’ out loud.
Ok Chicago peeps - here’s where you come in. Suggestions for a location to host an ”I’m getting old so I should act my age but I still want to have some sort of low-key fun” birthday party??
Years ago when I started this blog, a few bloggers/followers stood out because they seemed to be people I could actually be friends with. It’s always amazing to meet a tumblr IRL and just click with them as if we’ve been friends forever. I feel lucky that this blogging platform has brought a handful of positive people into my life. This has happened with only a select few people and this pretty lady is one of them.
After years of following each other’s blogs we finally meet and it’s like we are childhood friends. I’m so grateful to have someone like her in my life. She is genuine, smart, beautiful, honest, funny, so much fun and best of all… my friend.
Wishing the happiest of birthdays to my darling, amazing friend Sam.
Ok my Chicago tumblr loves… I need your help.
It’s my lovely friend Sam’s birthday this weekend and we’re going ALL out. We will be spending Friday night in the city to celebrate.
Here’s where your help comes in. What are your FAVORITE places to go out on a Friday night in the city? I’m talking Chicago proper, downtown. And let’s scratch Rush street off the list. We want to go somewhere cool, fun - but not too crazy, music and dancing is a plus.
So… where are your best Friday night spots??
Having a few close friends over tonight for a little grown-up dinner party to celebrate my birthday.
Here’s the menu:
APPETIZERS
-bacon wrapped dates
-guacamole hummus
-pepperoni pizza dip with breadsticks
ENTREES
-my secret recipe beef chili
-buffalo chicken mac-n-cheese
DESSERT
-fudge brownie and peanut butter ice cream sandwiches
I’m considering making a couple/few pitchers of sangria too.
Lots to get finished up, but I’m excited for tonight!! :)
Happy birthday to my lovely friend Jessica!!!
We have known each other since we were kids, growing up in the same neighborhood and now we’re all grown up still friends as adults. Not everyone is that lucky to have such a dear friend in their life for such a long time!
I hope you have a wonderful day!
