Happy birthday me, 28 is blowing my mind, I'm not really sure how I got to be that old. (Shrug) Nothing I can do about it except rock the heck out of it, 28 prepare to be made awesome! ;)
Tuesday May 24th, was my birthday, and since it was in the middle of the week it wasn't going to be as huge a deal as birthday partying over the weekend. But me, I'm a sucker for arcades. I think it might just be the fact that it's the closest i'll ever get to gambling... Man I play the heck out of arcades. Love Um!!! So got my boondocks on and invited my siblings to come and join me. We ate and played, and mini-golfed - It was epic. Love <3
As I gussied myself up for the day, I decided to wear a set of earnings and a ring that my mom had given to me on my birthday the year I graduated from High School (way back in 2006). I thought, what a great way to celebrate my birthday and have mom close. #beautifulbling
Sorry didn't take any pics that day other than my coworker Anna's awesome cake present she got for me. Behold, the awesomest fruitcake you'll ever see or eat! YUMmmm! feel free to be jelly, it was fabulous times a million!
Thursday May 26th. I arranged a Crape party because another co-worker of mine, Edna was also having a birthday this week, Friday in fact. She's awesome, and I enjoy having so many good girlfriends at work. I don't think i've ever had that before! it's fabulous.
So Wednesday night Edna came over and we made Crapes. We took an early lunch and went to a nearby park to bask in the sun and enjoy the food. Edna snapped a pic of all of us.
From Left to right: (Me, Ashley, Ashley, Holly, Anna, Parrin, Gwen, and Edna in the very front) I'm truly grateful for these ladies that make working in a stressful job easier. Yes, Design is stressful... Gosh! You don't believe me? It is gosh darn it! ;( (hence the need for crape parties!)
Saturday May 26th. I forced everyone to celebrate again with a BBQ and CAKE!!!! If you didn't know by now, let me tell you something that is fact... FACT!!! My sister Melisa is basically the most awesome baker in the world. Her cake is to die for! I'm more of a pie person myself, but I'll tell you right now; I will always eat Melisa's cake, she's da-bomb-diggity-dog-times-a-million-kissed-by-angels-awesome-sauce. I don't even lie. (nope truth TRUTH!) She made me a coconut Pineapple Cake, with custard. It was amazing. I'd eat the crap out of that tastiness. (hangs my head, I kinda did. Let's be honest. I couldn't resist.)
We Todd's don't do anything half way, we make up some pretty spectacular eats. Steak, chicken, salmon, a variety of salads and corn on the cob, drinks, and even shrimp-n-veggie kabobs! That's right, all ya'all's bbq's can hang their head's in shame. We rock that harder than those other people at the park who had KFC. (shakes head sadly, poor people!)
(Note: this pic was from my bbq last year, but this is a very accurate shot of what we did last Saturday as well! Oh yeah!!!)
Following Saturday I got to celebrate even again with my aunt Gracie's family. She's so sweet to make me a meal of my choosing. Leave it to me to pick something that she's never made before HAHA! oppsies. She totally rocked those Fajita's though I'll tell you what! Yum!
Been working on a bunch of projects this week to. I'm making a Wedding Guest-SignIn book for my friend Cambry. She's so adorable. It's been a bit of a challenge but I think it's coming together, all that's left to do is to finish up the binding and it'll be done. I do so love building books. This one is a cute one. Designed the inside and then stitched it together. (I'm telling you, there's a reason I don't usually do the coptic binding on books... it's hard. But because of the way I decided to produce this book, it was inevitable; coptic was the best way to bind it. Phew!)

I've also been working on a design for my family's reunion tee shirts. That happened crazy fast; I think it turned out really well though!

Don't doubt it, I've still been working out, granted not as diligently as I know I should. June is going to be good, I'm going to step it up and get back to where I want to be. That mean's no more giving into the temptation of tasty cake. And working out 4 days a week... Rough patch over. NO EXCUSES! ;) Doing my best, forget the rest right?
So, Here's some backlog #sweatyselfies for you peeps:
Oh, did I mention that I'm down another pants size? Well Holla! Even with not doing as well as I wanted this month, I still have made progress. Every little bit is worth it! Had to get new pants so they wouldn't fall off my nonexistent butt!

Oh, Yeah. Also Signed up for the SLC Color Run this August! What??? That's right. I don't know if I'm going to "run" per say, maybe do a bit of intermittent speed walking/jogging. But I'm doing it with some of my awesome office ladies and my sister Melisa. So this is going to be cool. I guess that's a new count down... only 81 days till that fun Happens! Yeah!
(see the lady covered in colored-gross... that's going to be me!) MUAHAHAHAhahahaha....
I'm all registered, committed to this madness! :) You can register here to if you want to do it!
So much fun and awesomeness!
