On Monday I got to celebrate my girl Bird's 30th birthday with her.  The perfect excuse to get all dolled up since we were going to meet for sushi.  (real outfit post coming soon, I haven't even had time to get them off my camera yet)  We had a really nice dinner with the yummiest sushi.  Then we went back to the coffee shop she works at in our home town to have some drinks and do karaoke.  I never in my life thought I would actually do karaoke, even that night I had made up my mind that I was not brave enough.  But alas, with a few drinks and some coaxing I found myself up there sandwiched between my two friends belting out Garth Brooks, ha ha!  And I had so much fun doing it!  Luckily it was in the 'safe bubble' as they were calling of it, of just her friends and co-workers.  So even though I got some rad pics of my Bird wearing an afro wig while belting out her tunes, I can't share those photos!  And no one got a photo of me, which Im actually kind of sad about b/c it was a landmark in my life, let me tell you.  This night also truly made me realize how much I miss my time with friends, b/c it has been slim to nothin' lately.  Oh, I also had my first Mai Thai, so there was more than one first!  Yay for firsts!

Oh yeah, and one of the best things that came out of my job at the restaurant was making friends with this girl.  The girl who at the time thought she couldn't make good friends with another girl, and I won her over. ;)
