In between jobs and sleep I somehow found time to plan my birthday. This year I decided to keep it simple by just going out for a lovely dinner with my sweetie, then having some friends over for a few drinks and some cake.
Oh and no birthday is complete without a Sweet 16 from Cupcakes!
This year’s birthday dinner took place at Brasserie L’ecole. We tried to go last year but the wait list was an hour and a half long. We managed to sneak some seats at the bar right at the start of the dinner hour this time.
French onion soup, mussels with fancy frites, warm lemon pudding cake, and perfect white wine chosen by the bartender for me. It was all exactly what I wanted, and exactly as delicious as I had envisioned.
On Saturday night we invited some folks out to the ‘burbs, where we enjoyed too many appetizers, a homemade cake built almost entirely of buttercream, and my own personal bottle of pink bubbly.
My birthday prezzie to myself? A fresh new do! A little Autumn ombre to mix things up in my 37th year.
Oh hello bangs. Happy birthday to me! :)
