wordless wednesday :: a little birthday recap

it's my birthday... again!

So... today's my birthday!  and I'm old!

Just kidding. but not really! Besides you are only as old as you feel, right? and I'm feeling pretty awesome!

I am having a great birthday! I have been celebrating all week and plan to continue on through the weekend!
Here are just a few random pics of my week so far...

Kate Spade and a raspberry lemonade cupcake from my favorite plaza bakery! Yum! I am planning to stop back in today for the flavor of the month: Lemon Meringue Pie, which they were sold out of my last stop. I love lemon!

I've gotten several fun packages this week and I've been shopping for some fun summer necessities!

We've been to a couple of games, Wednesday night's game was gorgeous and I've been splurging on fun birthday week food!

I stopped at the lake the other night to get this year's stickers and gate codes for our boat and the water looked amazing, there was a gorgeous sail boat out taking advantage of the nice breeze. I can't wait to have our first day out this summer! I love the lake!

The SeaLife Aquarium opened up a few weeks ago and we decided to go last weekend! I love seeing all the cool looking fish, the red starfish below was amazing, it was the brightest red... so pretty!

I'm looking forward to celebrating my birthday tonight with a surprise dinner from my hubs, all I know is we have 7:00 PM reservations so it will be fun to see where we end up! I also have some fun outings this weekend with friends planned, so hopefully I'll snap a pic or two and can get a post up next week to recap all of my birthday fun!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

vanilla limeade please...

What's your favorite sonic drink? I will def be hitting up the sonic drive-thru on my way home today! thankyouverymuch!

A few random catch-ups:

• last thursday i had some yuck removed from my uterus, it was not fun but i did spend the rest of the weekend getting served rainbow sherbet on the couch!
• we went to the Royals home-opener and watched them get beat!
• my hubs went to Texas to watch a Nascar Race, he said it was boring so they left and went to a bar to drink all night and were hung over the next day!
• i finally watched the Hunger Games! it was good but of course not as good as the book! duh!
• i went shopping! duh! husband goes on man trip = wife goes shopping!

Friday's Fancies :: Go CARDS!

Today I am linking up with {av} over at {long distance loving} for this Friday's Fancies :: March Madness!
I'm sure you may have noticed that we are big Louisville Cardinal fans... we did just fly to NYC so my sweethubs could watch them bring home the Big East Championship! Woot! Woot!

The CARDS played beat Michigan State last night and are now moving on to the Elite 8 and will face off against the Florida Gators this Saturday, March 24 at 4:30 EST.

For March we have had uncommonly warm weather (which I am not complaining about one bit) so my choice of outfit will be some white denim shorts, a 3/4 length CARDS tee, and of course my silver sparkley (party on my feet) TOMS! Let's GO CARDS!

Hope everyone has a great weekend and your team gets a win (unless you are a Gator fan) Ha!

life's just a cocktail party on the street {NYC}

well we made it safely back from our jaunt to NYC! and had the best time ever!

our trip started off a little rough with an hour and a half wait sitting on the tarmac while the plane was de-iced, why they did not de-ice the plane before having us board is beyond me but i do know that i will never fly Frontier Airlines again. EVER! because they also lost our luggage somehow (that cost us $60 to check by the way) and i had to wear my "traveling clothes" for our first day in the city until our luggage finally arrived at midnight... lovely! so yeah... Frontier. boo. to you!

however, even though the trip had a rough start, it was one of the best vacays we have taken to date!

little bit with her i heart NY book that she received at Christmas containing the trip info (tix, itinerary, etc).
our room overlooked Times Square which she was very pleased with... thank goodness for black out curtains!

lo and behold, our first night in the city we ran into 13 from House! she was alone and not on her phone so i asked her if she would mind to take a quick pic with little bit, and she happily obliged... she was a real sweetheart! of course this made little bits night (and trip for that matter)! i quickly texted the pic to my hubs who was at the Big East Tourney cheering on his UofL Cards (who by the way won the tourney and are the Big East Champs!) because Miss Olivia happens to be my hubs celebrity crush (she replaced Angelina now that she has a brood)!

we visited the 9/11 Memorial and it was just amazing and sad! i think everyone should visit at some point in life! my last prior trip to NYC was actually just a few weeks after 9/11 and it was just surreal to be in the city then, i can't even imagine what that day was like for people! just looking at all the names was depressing, if you notice there is a father/son (jr/sr) listed right behind me in that pic, along with names of women and their unborn child also, so so sad!

making some noise on the FAO Schwarz  "Big" piano!

ice skating at Rockefeller Center!

i love me some shows and i would highly recommend catching Mary Poppins if it comes to a town near you, loved it!

we also saw Spider-Man! i enjoyed the high-flying interactive show, but it honestly wouldn't be on my favorite list, i was a little bored with the story line and in my opinion the star of the show is the Green Goblin (loved him)!


there are so many more things we did that i haven't shown like a boat tour of the city and out to see Mrs. Liberty, Chinatown, lots of shopping, Top of the Rock, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park!
we had a great time in the city and i think little bit was picking out apartments she might move into (i think her final pick was above Dylan's Candy Bar) when she gets bigger... ha! we crammed in a lot in the short four days we were there but it was an amazing four days that i'm pretty sure my little bit will never forget!
