Playing catch-up….and dress-up

Life has been crazy busy, hence the lack of blog posts! As promised here’s a post about Roommate’s birthday extravaganza!

 Roommate and I have so much fun on a regular basis that it’s hard to up the ante for a birthday celebration. Regardless, I think we succeeded. Friday was her actual birthday, so we put on pretty dresses and headed out to Teatro Zinzanni.

 

SPARKLES!

Yes, Roommate’s dress is indeed made of sequins. Would you expect anything less?

Teatro Zinnani is one of the most fun places in Seattle. It’s a five course meal with a full cirque du soleil type performance. As always the food was great and the performers were amazing. The only problem with this place is that you’re eating rich dedecant food while watching performers with 0% body fat. Much like the Olympics, watching this makes me never want to eat again and also makes me want to triple my gym work outs. Then I tell myself that if I were paid to have 0% body fat, then I would. Since I’m not, bring on the chocolate (and the wine)!

I probably need more wine.....

 After the theater we went to Purple because roommate had never been there before. Purple is a super swanky wine bar downtown. We each had a flight of wine, I had Red’s, Roommate and our third friend had rosé’s. To cap off our classy night, roommate and I stopped at Wendy’s on the way home for a midnight snack. Side bar – I think I just realized why my weight loss has plateaued….

When we got home I gave roommate her birthday presents, which she loved. I was so happy that she liked them, not that I should have been too worried. No one knows roommate better than I do, and no one knows me better than she does. I got her a super classy coach wallet to go in her super classy coach purses. I also made her a sort of scrap book. I mentioned before that I had sent her a quote of the day for 26 days (which just HAPPENS to be how old she turned lol).

Pretty Pink Sparkly Things!

For the book I took the 26 quotes and put them in pretty font onto pretty pink paper, then I found 26 pictures of us doing awesome stuff. I made an 8x8 book with a quote and a photo on each page, using pink sparkly pretty paper. I wanted her to have tangible evidence of how great our lives are, so that if she’s ever bummed out, she can cheer herself up.



Finished Book

 

 

 

I was worried that it was a little too corny, but she absolutely loved it. Yay!

 

Saturday we were mellow all day, we took Mr. B to dog training (someday, he will be a good dog. I’m sure of it) and then went shopping for a little while. We also put in a solid work out at the gym (mandatory after the excess of the night before!) then Saturday night we rounded up all our favorite people and headed out to Ozzies.

Best Wallet/Photo Prop Ever

I think this pretty much sums it up

We danced and played pool until closing then went home for quesadilla’s and bed. (seriously tho, I now know how I work out 5 days a week and don’t lose weight)

Sunday we had some quality roommate time and went to breakfast at one of our favorite spots, Luna Park Café. If you’re in Seattle go there. Order the 3 pigs hobo. Eat all of it. Then roll yourself out of the restaurant and straight to the gym. That’s pretty much what I did. We capped off the weekend with dinner with Roommate’s dad on Sunday night. All and all successful birthday weekend, I hope roommate had as much fun as I did!

I still have so much to catch up on, posts about Raw Apple cupcakes, Lasagna, and Leavenworth soon to come!
