It's my birthday and I can drink if I want to

An "I Love List" - Birthday Edition:
I love my friends. Last night I went over to spend the night with my best friends from high school. My friend who had it at her house got all these balloons, made a cake and had out all this food for a little celebration. It totally made my day. At midnight we popped open some champagne and celebrated by 21st! Then we continued to talk and snack until 5am - I had work at 10am, mind you, but it was completely worth it :)
.
I love my the people I work for/with. They all wished me happy birthday and gave me a bottle champagne and an adorable apron. They're all just so fun!
.
I love sleep. Right now I am crashing BIG TIME. I even started falling asleep kinda at dinner - running on 3 1/2 hours of sleep is hard and I don't recommend it right before your b'day.
.
I love my parents. They took me out to a yummy sushi dinner tonight. It was my first time ordering alcohol, but since my parents made such a scene about me being 21 and how it is my birthday to the waiters, they didn't even card me, because they just assumed that we were telling the truth - which we were! Still - I wanted to be carded though! There's always a next (thousand) time (s) haha
.
I love how everything is in bloom. Everything is so lush and green. When I came home from work, my mom had cut all theses fresh flowers from our yard and put them in vases in my room. She knows how I love flowers (and ice cream cake, which is pictured above).
.
I love Anthropologie. I am on their member /shopper list thingie and they send me this adorable candle necklace with a 15% off coupon. Talk about customer service. It made my day when it arrived in the mail. I plan on using it in California :D
I love birthdays.

Happy birthday lovely! It's so strange that you posted that about Anthropologie, I just went there today and signed up for their catalog/email list/all the other amazing stuff they are going to send me.
I hope your birthday was/is filled with nothing but happiness. I'm sending smiles your way!

Always,
Ellie Grace

Happy birthday, LML!

I LOVED turning 21! My friends baked me brownies in the shape of 21! and we played games for hours! I too had to work on my actual birthday and after one of my coworkers took me to a bar and I had my first legal drink -- a 7 in 7 on November 7th! I seriously have not had as much since my 16th birthday! I've decided my next milestone birthday will be 25, when you're allowed to rent a car! I want to rent a super fancy car and take my friends/bf/important people for a ride!
