i had such a great weekend in chicago with my bests.  friday was my birthday dinner at chaise lounge, followed by drinks at aberdeen.  i had to deal with movers and packing for more hours than i had wished, but it had to be done.  and, i got to do all the girly, stupid things i missed: sushi, girl-time, nails and shopping.  oh and we made a pit-stop for a souvenir that will not be discussed on here until all necessary parties have been informed.  yes, it.is.that.awesome. good times were had by all, and i can’t wait to come back up next month for another round of birthday celebrations.   below is a quick photo recap:

happy 26th, old lady.

and i think this is absolutely hilarious. sweet server who can’t even remember whose birthday it is.

not me, idiot, her.

thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes of all types, near and far, it really does mean so much to me.
