Day 329 - Birthday Schmirthday

My birthday is coming up.

I will be 27.

I am not a fan of my birthday...not because of the getting older thing, I actually don't mind that part.

I don't like being expected to have SO MUCH FUN on my birthday.

There's so much pressure involved to enjoy it where I'd rather spend the day under the blankets ordering takeout.

Now, to organize my takeout menus....

Day 328 - Double Napkins, Future Selves And Rooster Feathers

About a week ago I was on my way back from New York!

Middle sister's surprise 30th birthday trip was to the Big Apple and was so much fun.

We did so much on the trip and wore our little feet out!

But, more importantly, here is a list of some of the good things we ate:

Macaroni and cheese egg rolls
Chicken and waffle sliders
Deep fried Oreos
Slices of pizza
NY hot dogs
Calzones
Bagels and cream cheese
Burgers: regular and salmon
Onion rings
Sweet potato fries
The most delicious blue cheese, mushroom, caramelized onion burger
Cupcakes galore: margarita, jelly donut, turtle, peppermint, orange and funfetti
Gnocchi, fettucine alfredo, tortellini, rigatoni
Oh, and a weirdo, healthy breakfast of yogurt and berries with a chocolate pastry for me...eggs and fruit for the sisters

We went all over NY, to Central Park, Chelsea, Greenwich Village, Soho, Little Italy, Chinatown, Upper West Side, Bryant Park and more!

There are so many fun stories and memories. I even got pooped on by a bird right before we left. How awesome.

We went to the Today show and saw Blake Shelton perform Honeybee and a girl with special yellow eyeshadow and more.

Mostly, we got herded all around NY and found out that there are lots of rules in the city. Ha!

We bought up pashminas galore and saw people trying to sell faux Tiffany bracelets and designer bags.

The weather was flip floppy, but we were all troopers.

Went to a couple comedy shows and found out when you search for dragon images, you should search "dragons" not "dragon."

Basically, we just laughed a lot. Seriously, I almost forgot how funny my sisters are. My stomach muscles hurt the whole time from all the laughs. Awesome.
