Happy Birthday to My Favorite Person in the World

After I left the following comment on BBL's blog,
I knew I had to save it for another time to post on my own...


I am really happy that I did.


Lauren asked who our favorite person was as a giveaway entry question.


This was my response:

"My favorite person in the world isn't my cat as many would think.
Nor is it a hottie actor or my BFFs.


She is my grandma. 
The woman is kind, brilliant and inspiring if I only could use three words.


I like to think of her as my twin soul.
If I can grow up to be even half as awesome as her, I shall be very proud!"

Dear future husband,
prepare to come second to this woman.
love, a loving but insane future wife.



HAPPY (eightyfreakinthird) BIRTHDAY, 
GRANDMAGRANDMA!
<3

50 Qs about this Birthday Girl!

 They say it's your birthday!

That's right! Today is my b'day!
Basically I am old now.

&& because it's my birthday,
I am off and away from the interwebs.

So my birthday present to you is
a cool questionnaire all about me!

Hey. It is my birthday!I can be narcissistic if I want to!
;o)

1. Were you named after anyone?
-I think my parents just liked the name but more specifically my parents liked the Irish spelling of my name. Same with my brother. The other name they would have named either of us was Erin. I am happy. I like the name Erin but I feel more like a Kat, which works really well when shortening my name.

2.When was the last time you cried?
-It may be silly but this weeks episode of Parenthood.

3. Do you like your handwriting?
-I do. I have constantly changed something about my 'natural' penmen-ship ever since they started making us learn cursive in primary school. Now it is a combo of uppercase and lowercase and probably drives some people crazy!

-Turkey. om nom nom nom

So Year 24 Begins...

.yep.
Today is my birthday!
as of 5:47am today I am 24!
.ew.


This is what I did...
I spent the morning until 3 in my PJs

Watched my The Jane Austen Book Club DVD

Surfed the internet

Watched loads of You Tube videos

Finally showered round 3:30

Curled my hair...

Texted a whole bunch of people to see who was free for dinner

Got dressed

Texted everyone its ok that they had previous plans

Got depressed

Decided to do dinner solo because it would be empowering
(& cause I really liked my outfit)

Drove to Walmart to cash my birthday checks

Answered my phone, talked to best friend Mi Abbia about my dinner plans

Had a break-down in the Walmart parking spot

Drove to Wells Fargo
(because I should have thought of that 1st)

Drove to Asian Cusinse

Ate a delish dinner with Mi Abbia

Walked to the neighboring liquor store with Mi Abbia

Went to Mi Abbia's house

Drank a Mike's Raspberry Margarita /
watched South Park/
cuddled with her orange tabby Stan/
played with her niece Ava

Drove home...
& now I am typing this blog with a glass of wine getting ready to start
City of Ashes

which I was going to take to my solo dinner and start...
It wasn't the best of birthdays.
But I wouldn't trade it because of the great dinner and "after party"

Also, my outfit was really cute
so I am happy I didn't waste it!
boots: Steve Madden $40 on sale
purple tights: Claire's $6
argyle cuff bracelet: Tattered Flower $6.50
grey dress shirt: Rue 21 $5 on sale
