Well, yet another year has come and gone… that’s ok though, I like getting older? This year I was going to go to Vegas to celebrate, but considering I went the last 2 weekends prior it seemed a bit silly. I did the unthinkable and did…………. pretty much nothing, whoa, but it actually turned out to be the best birthday I’ve had in a long, long time!
Sunday I went to the Chargers vs. Dolphins game, my first game of the season. I love going to games every once and a while, but when it’s 100 degrees out? Not so much. I almost prefer watching from the comfort of my own bed when it’s as hot as it was on Sunday, but I of course had so much fun regardless. The main reason I had to go to the game, was because I got a brand new fancy Jovan Jane Charger’s headband I wanted needed to wear. My mom also got me a cute rhinestoned jersey for my birthday that I wanted to put to use, but unfortunately the “short, fat/wide” jersey cut is not my fave so I opted for a simple fitted Charger’s shirt instead.

How skinny is this girl behind me? Yikes.

The following day I did have work, but… work was fun because my entire desk was covered in Hello Kitty decorations and pink cupcakes
I had a nice lunch with a friend, finished up work and hurried home to prep for a birthday dinner at Cucina Urbana this yummy Italian Restaurant in the Little Italy area. I had been here once before and fell in love with their butternut squash ravioli so I had to go back. I took being a fatty to a whole nother level tho, because I couldn’t even wait to eat my birthday meal and ate Naked Pizza before my own dinner. I didn’t even eat dinner at Cucina Urbana, because I was so full
I did have 2 pineapple infused rum cocktails though. Super delish.
The best part of my entire birthday was of course the QT I got to spend with my favorite girlfriends. We all had soo much fun eating, drinking, laughing, taking pictures, annoying the staff, eating cake, opening presents etc… I made reservations for 10 girls thinking a few would flake, but last minute I had to call and make it 13 because everyone came through. Rare but amazing


I got a few super cute cards (my favorite), a cute new white iPad, a Sanrio gift card, a PANDA Power shirt, a lot of Pandapple Sanrio gear actually… Panda… Amanda... get it… ya, anyway, my favorite perfume Lola, some yummy bath supplies, cute glitter nail polish, a gift certificate to BICE, another Hello Kitty shirt, pretty flowers, this crazy stereo speaker thing for my iPhone, a Sephora gift card, the cuteeeeeeeeeeeeest Hello Kitty Spooks balloon, “Amanda” confetti, some Hello Kitty lip gloss and so on and on. Overall the perfect birthday. Food + Cake + Drinks + Best Friends + Hello Kitty= perfection.
My cuteee balloon.

& proof my smile works. I prefer real smiles over staged ones any day

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOO much also to everyone who emailed, texted, called etc… every single Happy Birthday made my day that much better. Here is to a fabulous year!
