Thirty

I got the best compliment yesterday. "Wow, you don't look thirty!" Thank you, Primal lifestyle!

The celebrations were fantastic, and I want to share them with you, just as promised. There isn't a lot to tell, but there are pictures!

I started my birthday celebrations with a FANTASTIC breakfast at Walker Cake Company. Gluten-Free french toast topped with their homemade gluten-free granola, eggs, and delicious sausage! My mouth was SO happy that morning!

After breakfast Danielle and I hit the tattoo shop for our "Sisters" tattoos, and some piercings. She got her ear done twice, and I got my nipples done. I was terrified, but it wasn't so bad. No... there are no pictures of those! The ink, however...

There's the outline...

I guess he hit a spot that tickled. That's the "I'm trying not to twitch" face.

My tattoo!

Danielle's tattoo!

After getting inked and pierced, we chilled with my Bests at Soul Full before heading down the street to dinner.

Modelling my tiara we fashioned out of my mold-able necklace.
(Thanks Cahlan!)

Dinner was at Holmes Plate. Silliness ensued.

Moi and my birthday twin, Chelse.
We were Bests from the minute we learned we had the same birthday. :)

Prezzies! Among the gifts, TWO bottles of Rogue Voodoo Doughnut Maple Bacon Ale,
A strawberry planter, and lamb chops! Does my family know me or what?

The tables are covered with brown paper, and they have cups of crayons... so my friends made art!

Brian's "Drunk Kitchen" reference.
The taco IS a most versatile fruit!

Cindy's pretty dragon!

I kept the rolls of paper, and will be framing some of the art.

I also got these for my birthday...

Tie-Dye Roses! And they smell wonderful!

A pink-haired monster, because I'm Kelsey's pink-haired monster!

My friend Charlie's birthday was on Saturday, so I made oodles of jello shots for the partay. It was good times.

Not Primal. I so didn't care. The partiers LOVED them.

Chelse and I hit the bar for some drinks with Danielle. She had a hard day at work.

Working for Corning can make you crazy.
Notice, mold-able necklace makes lovely antennae.

Chelse and I took of to Rochester (where she lives) for my first ever Yoga Rave. Yeah, you read that right! It was awesome!

Painted faces! Just like the first day we met!

No rave is complete without strobe jewelry and glow sticks!

The rave was so cool, and I really want to go to another one soon. Between the dancing and the yoga and the meditation, I left feeling like a million bucks.

Hmm... I guess thirty isn't so bad after all...

I know I'm about a week late in posting. It's been a hectic week and next week is lining up to be the same. Thank goodness spring break is coming up soon. I'm really going to need it.

I hate that I have a ton of blog posts and food ideas that just haven't happened. *sigh* Thank you for sticking around and being patient with me through my crazy life. You guys rock. :)
