So it begins, my farewell to my 20's (boo hoo, hoo)












Thursday

My co-workers & I celebrated my birthday at Don Jose’s Restaurant in Montclair (where I have been celebrating for the past ?????????/ years) and had a BLAST! Who would have thought that it was going to be so much fun (let alone with my co-workers). Honestly, I thought I was going to be all depressed due to some family circumstances, but at the end….I was dancing on that dance floor with no plans to stop. I got a lap dance from two of my co-workers and got a bit tipsy (drunk) on a few ‘Adios Amigos’ in very huge glasses. With all the alcohol, I got the nerve to go up and howl to the song “Friends in Low Places” (of courses---again) & ‘Any Man of Mine”. (AWFUL……..)
My favorite part was dancing to Etta James ‘At Last’. AWESOME!!!

P.S. No cake.

Friday

All tired and sleepy, I still managed to come to work and try my best to accomplish a few things here & thee. (To tell you the truth, I don’t remember that day at all….I must have been sleepwalking.) Well, anyway, I went home to get ready because of course, I was going out to celebrate my birthday (DUH!!!), there was a package waiting for me. Oooh, how exciting!!!! It was a book and a lovely card from a friend.

Anyway, I got SEXY and took of to be with my bestest of friends at Casa Cabral in Commerce. That night was so much fun too. I tried ‘apple martinis’ for the first time and eventually was a little tipsy (drunk) and way too friendly with the cute bartender…..but I was so happy to be celebrating with such good friends. I got cool gifts…..yeigh me! Afterwards we went to my friend’s house and THEY karaoke while I felt asleep.

P.S. No cake.






















Saturday

All day, I knew I needed to sleep but it was so hard to take a nap because I was from one place to another. Not to mention, at my house there is just too many people coming in and out. (AAHHH!!!) Well, eventually, I just got dressed and went out with a few other of my friends to Carlos O’Brian……which was BORING!!!!!! So, we went to my friends house for a while and took tequila shots and again I got tipsy (drunk)…..(notice a pattern here?).

Please note: I am not a drinker. Therefore I wanted to share how I did get tipsy (drunk) on my 21st (for the 9th time) Birthday. K?

P.S. No cake.



Sunday

So, it is finally my birthday – 02/25/07. I woke up looking like S%^%$%$*! And for some reason everyone at the house was just like whatever with me. So, I decide to be a bum for the day & just clean my room. In the middle of the day, I noticed something on the table…..a heart shaped cake my fiend made for me. Aww….how cute! Well, just when I thought that was it…..by the end of the day I got another surprise. My brother’s girlfriend bought me an ice cream cake. Man, you should have seen ALL the pinchi candles on it. I think they had to buy like two boxes or something…..later that night, my lil’bro decides to have fun. Let’s just say that by the end of the night, the cake was on everybody’s face and all over ME!!!!!


P.S. Two cakes!!!!!!!


Monday

By this time, I really need a BED!!!!!! I walked in to my job and found my desk so beautifully decorated with balloons & confetti and gifts. My friend had also put little sticky notes all over the place, hidden on the keyboard, on the monitor and even the phone. One of my friends took me to lunch (she had me at hello). At the end of the day….we all met in the conference room to eat CAKE!!!! My supervisor bought me a chocolate cake & my friend bought me a tres-leches cake.

P.S. Two cakes!!!!!!!!

Do you see what I see?


My friend Oscar forwarded me this amazing picture. This shot holds such depth and creates so many questions for me that don’t necessarily have to even be answered.

It serves as a reminder that we have to take a breather from our many responsibilities once in a while (more often than not) and ponder on all the wonders this life holds. Of course, our life is full of stress, distractions, BILLS, problems, and many other excuses, but we also have been blessed just as much.

Whatever our many different blessings may be in our life it should never be overshadowed by a moment of disappointment.
