My 28th birthday was by far the best ever!!! ...or should I say my Birthday Week?! It was pretty ridiculous, but thats how it turned out and of course I loved every second of it. Dinner with Jana at the Oasis, birthday surprises at work, dinner at Happy Sumo with my Twinnie a.k.a Nissa, Jimmy surprised me with a Office inspired birthday party complete with shriveled brown balloons...Dwight would be so proud, a date with my Gramgram in her living room since she couldn't leave the house to go shopping, an amazing birthday party with people that I absolutely love. I felt so blessed, so loved! oh and the best part....my birthday jeans.
Earlier this year a friend of mine posed the question to me "when do we stop thinking of ourselves as boys and girls and start thinking of ourselves as men and women?" At the time I said "Im 60% girl, 40% women." But what a difference 6 months can make.
At 28, I feel comfortable in my own skin, Im still aware of my flaws, but they just don't seem to matter as much. I love the women I am. I am proud of my talents and have a sense of humor about my idiosyncrasies. So now I'm gonna say I'm 80% women, 20% girl. A women who knows what she wants, who works hard, and lives life with a cheery disposition. And a girl who loves all things frilly, polka dots, and most of all, being silly.
I'm a pro with chopsticks....Nissa and I split Coconut Crusted Halibut and Edimame....It is one of my absolute favorite dinners and a Twinnie tradition. Nissa was so incredibly thoughtful. She told me happy birthday atleast 100 times that day, not to mention flowers! On a side note...take a look at my long hair...I cut it the very next day!
Jimmy loves me so much that he through me a surprise! He remembered all the little things; shriveled, limp balloons, flowers, a hunormous (=huge+ enormous) birthday card, and a little fruit tart with the all too important giant 5 candle. Jimmy really wanted to get me a giant white cake that said Happy Birthday Shara. He also promised me a nap. Gotta love The Office.
My New Hair Cut...also a great shot of my tat!
Nikki was awesome...she made the BEST cuppycakes for my party...and did i mention it was over 100 degrees the day of my party.
Jimmy is such a bad influence on me...getting me to hold his cigarette
