If You Were Here.

so while we were away I turned a year older.
yes, the rumors are true. no longer can I blast blink 182 while wearing my nirvana shirt and simultaneously complaining about how my parents suck. yup... I'm 20!
NO MORE TEEN ANGST!?
I mean really, I don't wanna talk about it... no more SNACKXXXXS after sch00l?! no more yelling about chores and auditioning for DANCE TV! tis rough, knowing you can never be qualified as a "teen" again. but it is fun quoting teens... you know on the bookface and when they twat. what the hell... I'm one bad pair of ultra white keds away from being a senior citizen**... can't wait for that movie ticket DISCOUNT!

I don't care what you say. growing older doesn't mean less presents, smaller portions, or no cheesecake at all. special screening of 'Paul'... you got it. {even if i do spill the entire bucket of popcorn on the stranger next to me....} oxford shoes {done}, floral skirts and polka dotted shirts! {CHECK!} spoiled rotten on my bdayzzz.. who am I!? a real housewife?! go 'head and give me my overpriced trashy bedazzled watch!


Ended the birthday celebration with The Graduate, Sixteen Candles, best friends, lemon bars, cheesecake, and Simon&Garfunkel. March 4th... what a freaking glorious day. And not just because it was my b-day yo. but because I felt so much love from all my friends and family that my heart nearly exploded... okay because it was my birthday. but ADMIT IT... MARCH 4TH IS THE GREATEST DAY EVAAA!

If You Were Here-Thompson Twins
{scene where Jake Ryan pulls up. did I slay your heart yet?!}

**I'm a 20 yr. old in 60 yr. old body.
except I can still run on the treadmill.
{But only when I'm watching Food network while I do it... so you decide my "real" age...}

b-b-birthday!

first off i want to thank you all so much for your kind wishes on my birthday. they warmed my heart and filled me with joy.{it was like 5yr old chelsea with my barbie birthday cake birthday all over again. wonderful} second- I'M BACK! in nashville! {for about two seconds before i...} thirdly- I'M FLYING TO OHIO TODAY! {why do i love flying so much?! a stack of magizines and some music-it's perfect. as long as i don't get called out in line for the hand lotion thats 0.4 more ounces than the limit..}

i'm a woman of my word. muffins, cupcakes, cake, olive garden? check. check. check. {now i'm on a mission to make a muffin as good as this delicious blueberry crumble muffin.

double chocolate cupcake.

Lasagna Rollata al Forno {a la garden de olive}

pay no attention to the cheese overload. {it was my birthday. and its how i get calcium. gotta get those strong bones right.}

fudge chocolate cake.

apparently i'm turning 11. {oh the days of friday night mall adventures, beanie babies, spy kids, and capn' crunch for breakfast}

pink gerber daisies!? yes please!! and presents aren't too bad either.

wrapping up this chocolate cake and taking it to for the plane. {who am i kidding? there were no leftovers.} i'm excited to spend some time with my sweet grandmother. {i'm an old soul at heart. i'd rather play shuffle board, wear slippers, and have golden girls marathons all day than party it up at the PCB with MTV and Joe Francis} and i think ohio is one of my favorite states.

march fourth.

why is march 4th one of the best dates ever?

because it is the ONLY date of ALL the dates ever that is a complete sentence. {take a second to figure it out...} AHA! yes! {MARCH FORTH!} oh and its also my BIRTHDAY and i kinda couldn't be more excited.

today i will eat muffins for breakfast, cupcakes for lunch, cake all day, and olive garden for dinner {because yes, that was my special birthday dinner restaurant i always choose when i was little. and it will always be one of my favorite restaurants. judge if you must but we all have those restaurants that we loved when we were little!}

no longer am i frivolous first year adult. nope.

i am now embarking on my 2nd year as a grown up.

goodness, grab me a walker and some orthopedic shoes i'm getting so old!

off to sign up for AARP!

{yes i tagged this as a holiday.. and you know what i think- everyone's birthday is a holiday!!}
