Hi everyone! Oh-mah-gah! Thank you thank you thank you for all the lovely comments on The Hubster's post. Yes, he is the sweetest. I was pretty surprised with the post. He did a great job and he deserves a ton of credit. I suppose he's a keeper. LOL. I was so touched from just everything my readers have done to support me. He's right, I get all cheesy and geeky whenever I see any new activity from the blog. I'm an accountant so I am constantly refreshing my numbers and looking for new followers and new comments like a total blog nerd. Thank you for taking the time to publicly show support for me and showing me some love on my birthday. And for those who sent me a personal message or email, thank you so much. One in particular definitely made me tear up. *wink at Becks* I feel like you all have gotten to know me through this blog and I appreciate the little notes that let me get to know you and your story.
I honestly cannot express how elated I am right now. I know it may seem excessive but I do drown out my birthday for as long as I can and for as long as my friends can tolerate it. Hahaha... So thank you to my wonderful friends for putting up with it and celebrating with me. The fun is definitely NOT over because guess where I am going today... Lake Tahoe!!! I have been itching for some snowboarding funsies but it's been so unseasonably warm here in Chicago that we have barely had any snowfall. I'm probably the only person around here begging for another blizzard like the one we had last year. I thought I would definitely get some fresh snow out west but you know what... there's no new snowfall going on in Tahoe either!! What the doodle is going on!? Oh well... I am still very much looking forward to it and to milk my birthday celebrations even more out west. Tahahahaha... I probably should be packing right now but I wanted to take the time out to do one quick post and to thank everyone for this amazing birthday I am having.
Thank you to the friends who listened to me sing Whitney Houston songs off key, as a tribute to a great artist, at the karaoke bar. "I Have Nothing" was an epic song. Thank you to the girls who came out and treated me to an amazing dinner and partied like rockstars, even though one was preggo. Es, you prove that moms can still hold it down. Totes understand why you didn't take the patron shot though. Bwahahaha! I told you that you didn't look preggo at all. Sue couldn't even tell! Thank you to all the birthday dinners in the week that followed and all the amazing memories. I have gone out to eat for the past 7 days and I don't think I remember how to cook anymore. LOL. Thank you to Papa DOS and Sissie DOS for being the bestest family ever! Thank you to my hubby that kept saying "Happy Birthday!" to me every day for 7 days. This all would not have meant as much if I didn't have you to share it with. On the REALS!
So these shots were taken after my BE&D shoot right around the Murray Hill area which was where we were staying on our NYC trip. We were about to head to Soho for some light "window" shopping... okay lie, I totally shopped for real. I changed out of my bright yellow jeans because I wanted some neutral denim to try on with other tops. When going shopping, I like to wear neutral clothes and shoes so that it will compliment whatever I decide to try on. Which is probably a really bad idea because I end up loving everything I try on. Papa DOS decided to take some shots of me walking across the street. This was probably the slowest I've ever crossed the street and I was trying to look so cool doing it. Does it show? It was a bit chillier this day so I had to bust out my muffs. I'm sure I've said this before but I cannot live through a winter without these! I am also pretty surprised I have not lost them yet. Shoot, I'm pretty sure I just jinxed myself. I actually have more pictures from this day of me in different coats. We took the opportunity of the sun being out to take shots while we were out and all I had were different coats that I bought while in Soho. I'll definitely be sharing those next week. Thanks again everyone and I hope you enjoy the photos. Keep the comments coming so I have fun things to read when I get back! Wish me luck in Tahoe! I probably won't have any new posts until Tuesday or Wednesday. But there's nothing wrong with going back to July 2011 and re-reading everything right? Oy vey, I really need to get packing. Love you all!
