Happy Birthday to me and a little DIY project.

My lovely friends and family minimized the sting of getting older by making my birthday truly special. First was lunch with Fleur, Kathryn and Alison complete with an amazing banana cake made by the lovely Ginny at Gipp Street Deli. In some ways it's hard to believe I've only known these beautiful women for six years, they feel like life-long friends. 

Then to truly test how much food I could consume in one day I had a delicious and fun dinner out with the fam before yoga. Thank goodness it wasn't a power yoga class but rather a relaxing one, even so I probably won't ever eat right before class again if I can help it!

This one was a teensy bit grumpy, as I recall she was not happy with my restaurant choice.

I finally tackled a project I'd been wanting to do for ages, I pulled the carpet off the stairs and hired a painter to paint them. I decided that I could save some money by uplifting the carpet myself but man did it kill my hands! The stairs looked great all painted but we have already managed to scuff them up a bit so next on the agenda is to find a runner to protect them a bit.
