Birthday sneak peek

A couple of sneak peeks of the 80s slumber party birthday party... yes, turning 35 is glorious, as Jen and I proved last night.


The drinks in our hands.... if there is one grown-up thing you must do this summer, it is make this orange vodka from mames and drink it. We drank it in cosmopolitans and in my much younger days, I think I could have finished the entire bottle.

I never worried about turning 30 or turning 35 because if you're taking life by the horns who cares who old you are? Whenever I think about getting older, I miss my grandma Pat because she was a spitfire into her 70s. She's the one that taught me every age is fabulous - wrinkles, sagginess, and all.

I hope I turn out like her, acting crazy and being myself until the end with lots of amazing people around me. So far, I think I'm doing a pretty good job on that one.

Too awesome- that's the way to celebrate a birthday! I'm currently rocking the 80s neckline myself- my girls have stretched my tee shirts so much by pulling on them, the necklines are borderline obscene.

Hmm...So in the same post your are saying that getting older doesn't matter, yet you are reliving the days when your were younger. Confusing.

So glad I got to bring my YO MTV Raps self for a great night remembering why the 80s are best left to those who remember it!

The throngs of Christian Slater obsessed, jelly braclet wearing, RAVE hairspray lovin' ladies who will forever remember when rainbow leg warmers were the bomb!

SOOO awesome! Fer Shure! I love the idea of an 80's party being a child of the 80's. Now I'm hankering for some neon clothes...
