Another seven days from now, I'll be on a plane to Florida for my first "real" vacation in.....hmmm.....I can't remember, must be the Alzheimer's. This might be the first vaca that is actually creeping up on me since I don't feel the need to say "I really need a vacation" these days.....how out of character for me! My theory is this: I still feel like I'm on a perma-vacation here! Case in point, my birthday. This birthday was epic (in the most low-key way that something could be "epic"). Here's my abbreviated rundown of the weeks (yes, I'm referring to more that a weeks) worth of activities!
Friday pre-birthday: Party at Chez LL and Nik, Italian themed potluck, cake!, wine, Mojitos and more wine
Saturday pre-birthday: The viewing of many movies (ok, the Twilight series) projected on the living room wall + leftover cake + Five Guys and all it's greasy glory
Sunday pre-birthday: A trip with LL up Carter's Mountain on a beautiful C-ville day to sip hot cider, eat apple donuts and sit on a blanket overlooking the mountains..........like lesbians. We did something else in the evening, I just can't remember. Damn Alzheimer's.
Tuesday pre-birthday: LL brought these home for my birthday enjoyment! (This was my dinner. Don't judge me, I'm old)
Birthday: Really didn't do anything besides sit at home and watch Season Premieres. You don't hear me complaining!
Thursday post-birthday: Ray LaMontagne was playing at the C-ville Pavilion! LL and I were just going to hang out on the downtown mall but a friend had an extra ticket and I was the lucky recipient!!!! Ah-mazing show. Goosebumps over and over again.
Friday post-birthday: B came down and took me to Bang! (Get your mind out of the gutter) It's an Asian inspired tapas restaurant in C-ville. Can't forget to mention the martinis!!! Y-U-M.
Saturday post-birthday: A couple good friends came down to visit and we hit up two vineyards: Afton Mountain and Pollak. Finished the evening at the Virginia Chili and Blues Festival. Best memory from that festival was not the chili, it was the amazing kettle corn we devoured on our way home afterwards!
Sunday post-birthday: King's Dominion! Nuff' said.
Tuesday post-birthday (I know, I'm getting annoyed with myself too. Don't be a hater, you'll give me a bout of angina): I'm official!!!! Woo Hoo! It's gonna look so pretty on Sexy Blue :)
Happy Birthday to me! Special thanks to everyone involved in the festivities, wouldn't have been epic (in the most low-key way that something could be "epic") without you ;) Bring on the extended bday celebration in Florida! Ok, now I'm excited :)
