Birthdays and Belated Wedding Gifts

Last week, my adopted little sister (aka my BFF's little sister) and friend Renee turned 21. Of course, that meant it was time to party it up. We started with dinner at Brio, where the servers were kind enough to allow us cocktails and wine at the same time... Technically illegal to have 2 drinks in front of you at once, but it was a 21st birthday party so no one was really counting! Then it was off to Keys on Main, a piano bar downtown. There was a little trouble when we first arrived, we had a table reserved, and the table next to us was mad at us because they wanted that table for the rest of their party when they showed up. Most of the people at the table were nice enough when we explained that we had been seated there by the front desk and that we had made reservations too but one gentleman in the party felt the need to threaten us and put his hands on Alex. Unfortunately that meant we had to get the manager involved and the gentleman in question was politely told to sit down and shut up... After that it was party time! We spent the rest of the night singing, dancing and naturally drinking. After we exhausted ourselves, my loving husband (who was our DD for the night) drove all us crazy girls home for some R & R before our big day on Saturday.

Saturday morning came, and after a little coaxing to get Sarah ready for the day, Sarah, Renee and I headed downtown to the farmers market. We enjoyed being out in the fresh air and sipping on Limeade's while browsing the booths, though we all agreed it was hard to enjoy the market too much when none of us really have cooking space or places to store the food and all the jewelry and nic-nacs are simply too overpriced. Sarah overpayed for a neckless and got some humas to take home, but otherwise we left empty handed before heading to Red Iguana for lunch. After lunch it was off to Nail Trix for pedicures, and then Fashion place mall for some shopping. It was a fun day, and even more enjoyable because it was free! Sarah never did get me a wedding gift, so this was her treat for me!
