Saturday was my birthday, and despite all of the terrible weather, I was determined to celebrate. This was different birthday for me because this is the first time in many years that I did not have final exams, papers, and/or projects looming over my head. I can name countless occasions of birthday's past where I spent the day freaking out over school related priorities instead of celebrating. So, seeing as that this year my birthday a) fell on a Saturday and b) I was not bogged down by school, it was a perfect opportunity to celebrate... minus the snow.
After days of searching, I finally found a dress to wear on Friday at the mall. (not to too my own horn but I was looking rather hot *toot toot* lol)
I spent the first half of the day with my family. I enjoyed Grimaldi's Pizza in Long Island (some of the best pizza ever!!!), and then we went to The Brooklyn Tabernacle Christmas Show (which was such a blessing, truly awesome). That evening, I went to dinner with friends at People Lounge on the Lower East Side. The food was tasty. And to further my gluttony on my birthday, I had my two favorite cakes in the whole wide world, Red Velvet from Lords Bakery and Juniors Strawberry Cheesecake (there's no cheesecake like Junior's cheesecake!).
Although I didn't get the opportunity to see all of the friendly faces I wanted to see on my birthday, I am so thankful and so blessed to have spend the day with the people who I love and care about. :)
