Weekend in London

PB and I headed into London Saturday morning for the weekend. Even though he only lives about a 25-30 minute train ride away, he thought it would be nice to just stay overnight. We stayed in Mayfair at The Intercontinental Park Lane (which is where we've stayed a few times.) They were sweet and upgraded us to an Executive Suite overlooking Hyde Park and the Duke of Wellington's London House.

After we checked in we got ready for our belated Birthday night out. PB's birthday was in April, and mine was a couple of weeks ago, but we had not celebrated together. PB wore a summery linen suit and I wore a new black dress with my favorite hot pink heels.

We went for a FANTASTIC romantic dinner at Clos Maggoire followed by 3rd row center seats to Chicago at the Cambridge theatre.

We walked back to the hotel and had a Manhattan and a Blueberry Martini respectively before heading to bed. This morning I slept in until 11AM (which is UNHEARD of for me, but I think I'm still adjusting to the time change). We checked out and headed to Harrods where we had an amazing lunch at Laudree and did some shopping. We had a quick train ride home and then I started on my big project, which might be the death of me. Tomorrow brings errands and work on the project.

Tuesday and Wednesday we'll be filming our episode of "To Buy or Not to Buy"!!!!

We are both SO excited. Stay tuned for a recap!

How was YOUR weekend?!

It's Official...

I've entered my LATE 20s. 

Ohhhhhh lordy. 

Happy 28th Birthday to Moi!

TWENTY-SEVEN!

Wait, I know I'm really not this old, right?

I meannnnn, I can't possibly be approaching 30 at such an alarming pace... RIGHT!?

Bon Anniversaire pour moi!

(My non-versed attempt at French.)

And HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to my Mama!

And also to my Nannie (aka my favorite person in the ENTIRE world!)

(PS- How cute are they in this picture?!)

Hope you all have a wonderful and special day!

Let the Birthday week commence...

We are officially starting the birthday countdown today... In one week I leave the world of MID 20s and enter the world of LATE 20s.

Here are 7 reasons why I'm looking forward to the BIG 2-7

1. ENGLAND! My birthday marks the start of 3 months of working, traveling, cooking and date nights with my fella in jolly ole' England.

2. 3L! The big 2-7 marks the beginning of the end of law school. HALLELUJAH!

3. BACHELORETTE WEEKEND! This will be the year I get to wrangle all my besties (or as many as I can guilt into coming) into one city with me to play like never before!

4. GOAL WEIGHT! This year marks the final push to reach my goal weight. If I stay roughly on target I'll hit it right before my 28th birthday next year! I CAN DO IT!

5. MARRIAGE! This is the year I will kiss goodbye to my single years and become eternally stuck with the Brit. (heeeehehehe)

6.10k! This is the year I am going to RUN a 10k! Last year I tackled a 5k and by October I'm going to be running the Tufts 10k for women... even if it kills me!

7. HOMEOWNER! (Well... sort of) This is the year that PB and I purchase a house together! And by together I mean he purchases it and I get to live it in... and when we become legally bound together it will become partly mine too! So therefore, I will become a first time homeowner!

(with PBs money...which is entirely beside the point)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL!!!

Happy Birthday to be best fiance/old man in the world!

teeheehee

I LOVE YOU!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUBSIE!!!!!!

Today is PB's BIRTHDAY! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Since I'm not there to bake you cupcakes and make you your favorite dinner, you'll just have to go get a slap-up meal at McD's and then we can celebrate when you're here NEXT WEEKEND!

I love you and am SO glad you're stuck with me forever.

Like how I did that... You... stuck. :)

(Even if you do weird things like this sometimes... )

(PS- I'll FINALLY get the honeymoon pics up manana... Lo siento!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABYGIRLS!!!

3 of my besties have birthdays today and tomorrow so I thought I'd wish them a Happy Birthday all at once!

*HAPPY BIRTHDAY LD & MB!!! Two of the best friends and bridesmaids a girl could ask for!*

*HAPPY BIRTHDAY RPT!!!! LUHHHH YOU!!!! Can't wait to spend the evening with you next week in NYC. Have fun in Malibu*

Mama's birthday dinner and such...

It was Mama's birthday (as mentioned below) and so I made reservations and took her to The Melting Pot, which is one of her favorites. CC and Chris came down to join us and we had a blast!

*Me and the Birthday Old Lady*

*MMM! Fondue!*

*Flaming Turtle Chocolate dessert fondue*

*Me and CC going crazy over the chocolate*

*Me and CC again. I was wearing 5 inch heels to be taller. LOVE!*

It was really fun and yummy but I have 2 complaints. 1- When I made the reservation I made a note that it was my mom's birthday in hopes they would bring her something or sing, and they didn't and 2- PB called, apparently, 2 days ago and ordered a bottle of champagne for the table and said it was for A BIRTHDAY, and it was NOT delivered! It was fun, but I don't think we'll be going there again for a special occasion. They really dropped the ball... twice!

PB and I got Mama one of these bags. I'm going back today to splurge on a hot pink one for myself. Don't judge me. Trust me, it's very necessary.

How was your Sunday?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA!!!

You're the best Mama in the entire world!

HAPPY 51ST BIRTHDAY!
