The beginnings of the Birthday celebrations

I'm going to warn you right now, I'm hungover as hell. Just like I ought to be, considering it's my birthday month. That's right, I'm celebrating alllllll month long. Considering work celebrations, birthday parties and family birthday celebrations. I'm just celebratin' being alive all over the place. Last night I went out with some girlfriends in Dallas. Yvette and I shared the celebration that evening, her birthday is on the 2nd!

I absolutely do not get silly on Friday nights for the sake of going to these Saturday morning classes. They kick my butt and get me super strong, every time I leave with bruises and tight muscles-I LOVE THAT! anyways, after I beasted it out with the sexy ladies of The Girls Room, Frisco I headed to Keller to get my hair done by Brianna, more awesomely known as foyanna. Or the Italian Stallion, whichever feels good at the moment. I got some awesome highlights AND low lights, AND trim for a really great price. Home girl hooked it up. Aaaaand with a mini moscato. THANKS BRI!
Below is a clip of my Saturday morning practice with Tricia! :)






So after my much needed self pampering, I headed on over to my apartment and eventually into Dallas. First things first, I had to get some FOOD. Running on just blueberries wasn't cutting it, so we headed to Avanti for dinner. I ended up getting a veggie lasagna loaded up with spinach, with a long island on the side of course! After a drink and some food, we all got to talking and realised-all of us girls really hadn't been 'out' in way too long! Whoops. I'm lame. I highly recommend Avanti for any friends looking to have a great dining experience on McKinney on Dallas, the live music and great drinks are amazing. Okay, I'm getting hungry again talking about this... Moving on!

The seven of us walked just next door to the Trophy Room to get the evening really started. First things first, Pineapple Upside down Cake shots. Several of them, actually. The first thing we noticed when we walked into this particular bar was that the bartenders with absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Like, model beautiful. AND.... They were men. Yup! It was pretty awesome. Nonetheless, we were ready to get our dance on and headed to the bar next door for some more pineapple upside cake. I highly regret all of that damn cake. I'm paying for it now. Like, right now, as I write this. Dammit.


We wobbled, we laughed, we danced with strangers. We had an AWESOME time! I loved celebrating my birthday with Yvette together, she's always been such a great friend to me and always shown me a great time. We both needed to get out! ALL of us needed to get out! We toasted to Birthdays, new beginnings and being independent women. I love being in that positive atmosphere with women, the kind that are confident and acknowledge their strength. No feeling is a better feeling than the one of knowing you're in control of your own life, making your own money and life decisions.

Cheers!

Several cocktails, room service and more cocktails later, we finally passed out around 3ish. We closed down the bar and ordered cheeseburgers, like freakin' rock stars. Or, just like hungry drunk bitches. Hahaha, love it. Judge me if you like, but for once, I let go and acted my age <3

 

 

Me with my first free birthday drink! Thanks Mr Bartender!

 
 
 
We even got in a little people watching action. Wow, you truly had to see some of the things we saw for yourself. I tried capturing a couple we spotted ever so cleverly with my iPhone camera, however my suspicious expression was a give away.. or, was it? ;) I admit, I'm not a good spy.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
After a crazy fun birthday night, we slowly peeled ourselves out of the hotel beds and made our way home. I had such a great time celebrating my birthday with old friend, and new friends, and the people I encountered throughout the whole evening. Especially those bartenders at Trophy Room that I mentioned... What?!
