Tag: IT’S MY BIRTHDAY!

This is 36

  • Today is my birthday, and while I have been kinda dreading it/not really caring much about it, I am actually genuinely excited and enjoying the day!
  • The Women’s Hockey Team at the University where I work (Clarkson University) are playing in the Frozen Four today and Sunday, defending their Division 1 National Championship title from last year. They’re really good and are going for their 3rd National Championship since 2014. So today has a relaxed, gameday vibe ahead of spring break week.
  • I can tell that I NEVER do my hair because upon walking in this morning I was complimented on my ‘do no less than 4 times right in a row! One woman was fawning over me and said she loved the color (there’s red and a hint of purple in there) and how “stunning” I look in my green shirt and with my hair and my eyes. Totally made my day! Note to self: make more of an effort in the morning!
  • My boo is out of town for work but we will celebrate my birthday when he gets home tomorrow. Tonight, I’m having dinner with friends and will just chill with the dogs. I’m totally ok with it. #adulting
  • Plans also include running 3.6 miles (for 36 years) and doing my pushups. 
  • Is anyone else SUPER EXCITED that “The Greatest Showman” comes out on Digital on March 20th?? I know what I’m doing Tuesday night!!

Have a great weekend, friends!

Birthday Shenanigans

I’m having a pretty fantastic birthday so far, thank you friends!!!
From all the texts, posts, and messages…I feel the love!! 🙂

We started celebrating Saturday night and haven’t stopped yet! A quick recap of my weekend:

A warm Saturday night (it was in the 60′s) meant we ate dinner at a local restaurant on the patio before we hit the bar to dance the night away to one of my favorite bands. I dig the Rocker Chick/Biker Chick vibe I’ve got going on here. 🙂

There were test tube shots of “Shark bait”, (it tasted like grape kool-aid) dancing and singing along to great songs with my friends. It was a pretty fabulous night.

Sunday morning I woke up with a migraine (boo) but spent the day with my family. My mom and dad made one of my favorite meals: Pot Roast! (So freaking good). I opened a few presents, hung out with my parent’s dogs, and even took a nap! All in all, a pretty solid Sunday. I also totally skipped my Easy 5 miler. No regrets. It was 80 degrees and sunny here so I took a walk to compensate.

Today I walked into my office to discover my co-worker Rob had outdone himself with decorations. I love it! I’ve gotten gifts from all of my co-workers and my favorite card has sparkles, has a tiara and says “I. am. the. birthday. Princess.” Yup. That’s me! 🙂 My co-worker brought in things to make your own yogurt parfait because she knows I’m not a cake person. (I think cake and cupcakes are kind of dry. I much prefer ice cream!) Please note the Jr. Mints. My FAVORITE.

It’s going to be close to 90 degrees here today! (I don’t think it has EVER been that warm on my birthday!) So I dressed accordingly. I plan on enjoying it with an easy run later today. 

Also, when you’re signed into Google, they make your own special Google Doodle for your birthday! How great is that??!?! 

Anyway, Thanks for the birthday wishes friends! I’m having a pretty fantastic day! Here’s to 33!
