Stepped on the scale to find I have lost 7 pounds in three weeks thanks to a nasty cold and working hard at the Hilton! Woo hoooo! Four more pounds and I'll be back down to 30 pounds from my heaviest weight. Today is already looking bright for my birthday!

I am wearing an awesome birthday outfit today. I'm wearing my favorite dress because it's California and I can get away with it! haha! It's grey with busy white floral designs, a purple leather jacket with a grey hoodie attached to it, black jeggings, knee-high boots with buckles, a teal scarf my parents got me for Christmas, and a grey woven skullcap with circlular sparkles. I might be wearing a dress for the occasion but I am definitely bundled up for the weather!

We're just about to head out to the Union Hotel, a local "almost fancy" Italian restaurant with my parents and grandparents, then I will spend the whole day watching the first season of my new favorite show Metalocalypse, and then in the evening my best friends are coming over to celebrate with num nums, games, and movies.

The best part of my birthday is when my grandparents call and sing happy birthday to me, which they did this morning. It makes me smile so big and wide and I truly look forward to it every year. It makes me feel so special when they call me every year and sing. It really is the most special part of my birthday.

And my parents came through with a gift certificate to my favorite tattoo parlor Electric Monk. I was a bit worried after speaking with my artist because there are two artists and they are the only two people who have gift certificates, not for the parlor itself, but my tattoo artist was there and when my parents explained they wanted a gift certificate for their daughter, he exclaimed, "Hey! Are you LL's parents?" and they talked for a while about tattoos and my parents think he's a great guy. I texted the tattoo artist and I may be getting my next tattoo, a cover up, on Friday!

Edit: For the first time in forever it is sunny AND warm on my birthday!

I haven't even watched my show yet. I went for a drive and got a haircut and now currently dying my hair instead. Pix soon! With my friends I'll beg them to watch the Birthday Dethday episode with me. I have to at least watch that episode today.
Thanks for this!

I told my friends to come in their jammies and they got SUPER excited! I have six movies up for watching: three Christmas movies (Nightmare before Christmas, Elf, The Polar Express) and three "chick flicks" (13 going on 30, Juno, Mean Girls) and I have the Cards Against Humanities and Never Have I Ever games to play. I got 3-4 choices of pizza to choose from and carrot cake that says "Happy Birthday LL" that a baker did who had never drawn with icing before because she was only the baker, but she did a good job, AND I have exactly 24 candles to put on the cake! I'm super excited! Two of my friends weren't able to come but my friends K and J will be coming together when they are done with finals and K says she has a present for me and I have no idea what it could be but I'm super excited to open it! Because Christmas came early I feel so weird to be opening presents even though I know it's my birthday, but it feels so strange that it is my birthday today like not really happening but it is and it's super magical.

My hair turned out great!

I am enjoying a margarita, listening to Y2Kountry. The carpets are vacuumed, floors are mopped, kitchen is tidy, house is clean. Waiting on my clothes in the dryer so I'm not completely naked for jammy time (I'm in a robe as of now). The table is set up to excite my guests, I took away most of my DVDs I picked out so that all is remaining is Elf and 13 Going on 30, the two movies I'd like to see most. Having 6 movies to choose from is a bit much, so I stuck with one Christmas movie and one chick flick. I also have my Metalocalypse DVD and I'd like to watch the Birthday Dethday episode because it's a birthday episode and the song is soooooo hilarious. I have a bag of Ruffles and Cheetos Puffs and the empty box of taquitos with the food in the freezer. We have some pizzas to choose from a la Digiorno. Margaritas to share. Face masks to enjoy. I'm all set!

Thank you for your comment. This is the best birthday I have ever had and it has only begun!
