It's been quite the week of celebrations.  Initially I was kind of sad to be celebrating this birthday on the single wagon but so many friends came to the rescue that I didn't even reflect much on it.  I really am so very lucky to have such wonderful people in my life.  Growing up I didn't have a ton of friends so it's really surprising to see how many close relationships I've been able to hold onto through the years.  It makes getting older much easier.

Wednesday started off with early morning birthday wishes, gifts from Sippey and Sarah, then lunch with my 6a peeps and finally a late night dinner with girlfriends at House of Prime Rib.  I love this restaurant and frequent it often for holidays and birthdays.  There was an old man at the bar celebrating his 105th birthday that evening.  He's been a regular there for years now. Very sweet. We closed down the restaurant with two bottles of champagne, a bottle of wine and shots of tequila.  Not sure how but I didn't even have a hangover the next day!

I took Friday off to get some pampering done and then had quite an epic birthday party at District. I was there from 5pm to well after midnight because people just kept on coming.  I don't think I was ever empty handed either as the champagne was definitely flowing. Sadly because of all the people I couldn't make it over to Chris' celebration in the Mission. :(  I might have overdone it on the invite list but it did make me feel very loved that so many old friends showed up. 

The next morning despite my aching feet and a banging headache, I managed to get up and go at it again. The afternoon was spent with Sarah on Joann's sunny deck celebrating Nico's birthday.  We did shots of mocha infused vodka, ate coconut and pineapple cake, and took sneak peeks at her hot neighbor over in the other building.  After that I drove to the other side of the city for Suzanne's bridal shower in South Park.  She held a cocktail event with champagne and hors d'oeuvres rather than the traditional house party.  Loved it.

We Are Funk

So you're probably thinking that this has to be the end of the night because I've been drinking for way too many hours. Right?  Um, not quite. We went from the bridal shower to Suzanne's bachelorette party at Circolo.  Crazy.  I changed from flats to heels in the car and was ready to go though.  After buying Suzanne a few rounds of shots, Patty and I headed to the Elbo Room in the Mission.  WeFunk Radio djs were spinning and we caught the last hour of an awesome set.  I found Randy, Krissy and Garth but couldn't find Steve in the crowd of sweaty people (thanks Steve for the invite, I wish I could have come earlier because the music was off the hook).

Now I'm back at home and finally getting the chance to relax.  Looking forward to the upcoming week where I actually don't have anything planned ...at least not until the weekend. ;)
