Even though my birthday isn’t official until tonight at midnight I wanted to give a little recap on what went down this weekend.
Friday was kind of a hectic day. I woke up early, took my boyfriend to work like I always do, went to the gym like I’ve been doing all last week for an hour or so and then went to my office to have a meeting. I was there for a little while brainstorming and figuring out some loose ends before heading home to meet up with Cassandra. The meeting I had was last minute so the original plan was for Cassandra to come over a lot earlier so we could go shopping and have plenty of time to pick something out for that night’s festivities. We’re both picky when it comes to finding the “perfect” outfit so I knew we needed to have enough time. I was really set on this because the only money I was going to spend on myself for my birthday was this outfit. Well, I didn’t get out of the meeting until a lot later then expected so Cassandra didn’t get to my place until 1sh. I was in the shower when she came over so we wound up getting a late start on the shopping. Our first stop was the closest mall to my place which we neither had been to before and it was the shittiest mall I have ever been to. Maybe it seemed that way because we were so fixed on finding something in particular but it felt like there were only a handful of “good” stores to choose from and they had nothing that we liked. By the time we were finishing up at the mall, it was around 3 and my friend Eve had finally made it into town. She lives 2 hours away so we went back to my place to meet her and set out for another place to shop.
While we were on our way to my place, I got a text from my boyfriend that he needed me to pick him up from work. The plan was for him to take the bus because he knew that I had a lot going on that day but he told me that he had gotten me a gift. He hadn’t had time to cash his paycheck so all he had on him was a small amount of cash. He borrowed some money from a co-worker but because they were leaving at 5, he needed me to come get him so he could pay his co-worker back. I normally would have been totally cool with that and I thought it was sweet that he had been thinking of me and gotten me something, but it totally messed up our plans. My boyfriend works around the Hollywood/Beverly Hills area and traffic is a bitch there normally, let alone at 5 on a Friday. It turned out that it was pointless for us to stop in Hollywood to continue shopping when traffic was so bad and we needed to be at my bf’s work at 5. Needless to say I was really annoyed because I was really set on getting an outfit. We couldn’t go shopping after we got my boyfriend because we had to be at Cassandra’s by 6 to get our makeup and hair done for the party that we were going to that night. It takes an hour for each of us so we were extremely pressed for time. I kind of had a meltdown for a second because I had my heart set on a new outfit (I always feel awesome in something new, must be a girl thing) and I felt like I had worn everything that I had in my closet. I had to force myself to pick something out but I snapped myself out of my bad mood and just dealt with it.
Ellie, the makeup artist Cassandra always uses, made me feel pretty my doing an awesome job with my hair and makeup so that helped a lot too, as well as Cassandra being a sweetheart and paying for my makeup to be done. She really is one of the sweetest girls I have ever met. Before long, time had flown by and it was time to go to the party. Eve, Cassandra and I met Sophie and her hubby at their place and followed them to the club. It was just an industry party and I like going out clubbing so I decided it would be fun to “celebrate” my birthday there. After getting there and doing some red carpet pictures and an interview, we went into the club where it became freaking packed. It was at Area in West Hollywood and I had never been there before. It was really nice and the party began! I was a little annoyed by how many people were there because it made it hard to sit, stand and most importantly, make it to the bar! Speaking of the bar, it sucked! I don’t know what the deal was but Cassandra and I just couldn’t get a buzz. We had more then a few shots and nothing seemed to do the trick. I’m a freaking light weight too so I don’t know what the deal was. I mingled and danced a little bit but we left a little early. Traffic would have been a bitch leaving the club right at 2 so I think we left at 130 or so. I had a good time but I realized I’m not a big fan of clubs out here. When I can’t move around and have my own space and people keep bumping into me non-stop, I get over it real quick.
I took Cassandra home after the club but Eve spent the night. Eve actually wound up spending the whole weekend at my place. She had plans to do other things and I’m not sure what happened there but I think they fell through. I woke up kind of early yesterday and my boyfriend was really sweet and made me breakfast. He can cook pretty well but he NEVER makes breakfast because he usually fucks it up, but he didn’t this time. I was really happy and it was good too
By the time breakfast was over and I watched a little college football, it was time to get ready for my shoot. I already told you guys the whole story of what happened when I went at noon. When I got back home from all of that, my boyfriend and I, with Eve decided to see if we could find garage sales. My boyfriend and I like to do that and we find some awesome things; you know how the saying goes, someone else’s trash is someone’s treasure
We didn’t find anything but worked up an appetite so we grabbed lunch at a diner. Once we finished there it was time for me to drop them off and go back to set. The shoot was awesome like I had said and when I came home, my boyfriend was cooking bbq chicken for dinner. We ate and I passed out because I was beat.
Today was a really chill day today. We all just hung out and pretty much watched football while I blogged of course. I’m not gonna lie, I was kind of bummed that I didn’t do much this weekend. I really wanted to spend a day at the beach and chill that way but it could have been worse. I’m glad I got to go out on Friday and I suppose thats good enough. Tomorrow is my official birthday and I don’t have anything planned really. My boyfriend has to work all day and I need to go to the office and work a little bit. My boyfriend and I will probably go out to dinner or tomorrow or I might just decide to stay in. Who knows. I guess since I’m getting older, there’s no need to go all out for my birthday.
Pics are from Friday night. And for those that would like to send gifts, you can send to 19360 Rinaldi St. #474 Porter Ranch, CA 91326. Just an fyi, it’s a PO Box so don’t try and stalk me, lol. Also if you do send something, please let me know. My PO box is about 30 min, double that with traffic, away from me so I don’t go there and check every day. Thank you in advance!
