YES. i fell behind again. i blame work.

march 4 - march 10
i'm pretty sure everyone in the world has a birthday in march. okay...okay, that's a gross exaggeration. however, there are a lot of people with birthdays in this wonderful month. including all five of the people you see below. there's my roommate christina (march 5), my dear friend anna (march 9), my other dear friend ashley (march 8), me (march 11th), and my best friend's boyfriend jeff (march 29).

these are awesome people. you should know them.

we spent this week and weekend celebrating. this is the crew that went out saturday night. good crew. good times.

march 11 - march 17
sunday, march 11th, being my real birthday, was a day of brunching and champagne. it was perfect actually. everyone came over, ate delicious food, and went home in time to rest and get ready for the work week. i was so exhausted after being so loved that i passed out on the couch with guests still in my living room at 5:00pm. as cliche as it may be, i felt really loved that day.

below is a picture of one of the gifts that my co-worker/great friend/work comrade shannon got me. of course it's a journal with an elephant on it. what more would you expect?

march 18 - march 24
this week was filled with work work work. i probably worked around (and possibly upwards) of 50 hours in preparation for book-it's annual fundraising gala guilty pleasures. it consumed my life. and the biggest part (that's a joke...sort of) was finding a dress. this is what i settled on. and yes, it is a crappy cell phone dressing room picture but you get the idea.

ignore the whole in my tights. although now that i've
pointed it out, you can't ignore it can you?

i don't know that i've ever felt this good in a dress. guilty pleasures was friday and we DID have professional photographers there. however, i worked the entire event and am not sure i'm in any pictures. once i know for sure, i'll maybe post one. because day-um, i felt good in this outfit.

DAY-UM.
