So my 40th birthday weekend started Thursday night! I met Holly out after work with some of her work people at The Walnut downtown. It was pretty cool and bigger than I thought. Then her and I went to bottle wine and then I headed home!
I had PTO on Friday, so Steve went to work and the girls and I slept in for a bit and then I took them to school about 8. I came home and took a shower...I really needed to shave before my massage at 10:30! HA! I had my massage at East Village Spa, which was AMAZING! It was so good and I almost fell asleep twice! Totally worth it!
After that I headed to the school and had lunch with Presley and her friend Addie. She didn't even want me to take her anything for lunch b/c she wanted the French toast sticks the school was having that day! She didn't want her pic taken with me, but I didn't give her the option.
After lunch I had some errands to run, including a Target trip all by myself!! I told Steve before I even went that I was planning on spending a lot of money....and that I did! But I really only spent $12 on something random for myself!
I got home and unpacked my shoppings and did some picking up and then headed to The Boat House to meet Steve after work for a drink.
That night Piper had another birthday party so Steve took her to that and then went to watch the Iowa bball game and Presley and I went to the mall. She really wanted to spend the Justice gift card she got for her birthday....and unfortunately they didn't have any good sales and she didn't want to spend HER $$ on full price stuff! It is harder when it is your own money!! :)
We were going to go to El Mariachi on the way home, but it was 6:30 and it was PACKED! So I was good and went home and had peanut butter toast with real PB and real bread...no low carb crap. :)
Saturday, February 2nd....my 40th birthday! The kids were fighting so Steve told me to go have lunch by myself...so I did, at El Mariachi of course. I enjoyed the hour I was there, reading my book and such. Then we hung out at home, the girls played and I vegged out on the couch. Then we got ready to go out! Lexis came to babysit about 5 and we headed to dinner at The Range. It was really good, expensive, but good! We will definitely go back again. After that we headed to meet Holly and Jerry at The Hall for a drink before going to our next plans at 9.
Little did I know, it was packed with so many of my friends! I was SHOCKED!! Literally moved to tears with how many people came out for my birthday! I didn't realize I had that many friends! :)
