My Birthday Weekend

Good Day Universe!  

It took me longer than expected (over a week!), but here is a brief little follow-up post to let you know how my birthday went on March 25th...

As you can see I ended up indulging in some cupcakes from Clarabelle's Cupcakes!  Pictured above are their Coconut, Oreo, Hummingbird, Lemon Basil, and Triple Fudge Brownie cupcakes!  Mmmmm mmm!  By far, the Hummingbird and Lemon Basil are some of the most spectacular cupcakes I've ever had, and they're dairy free!!  Too bad they didn't have their Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup cupcake or else there would have been a hell of a lot more chocolate cupcakes in this picture... hehe.

As planned, my mom, my great aunt, my sister and my boyfriend took me out for a delicious Thai dinner that night!  We ordered a Shrimp Tempura Roll, Dragon Roll and Tom Kha Gai Soup for appetizers, then Massaman Curry Chicken, Chicken Pad Thai and Volcano Chicken for the main course.  Everyone shared so as to enjoy a little bit of everything and boy did we enjoy it... delicious!

As for the rest of the weekend, I spent it lounging by the pool and spending time with my love... oh, and guess what?  I totally blew off the Miami Design and Remodeling Show.  Wah-wah... I just didn't feel up for it.  Sorry folks!  Anyway, overall it was a pretty simple birthday, yet I couldn't have asked for more!

Stay tuned for a garden update post later, so many of my cacti and succulents are blooming!  The backyard is a veritable paradise and I can't wait to show you!

Oh, and I saw this graffiti face spray painted everywhere, I thought it was cool (albeit a bit morbid)...  It made me think of the posts that I did on graffiti art (Beatles, Istanbul and Mona Lisa) and makes me want to do another one with all the local graffiti art I've seen.  *Adds that to her list of things to do* :)

Frantic Friday

Just a quick post to say HAPPY FRIDAY! ...Aaaaand to let you know that I've been having a major brain fart... ehem, errr.... a lapse in mental organization! I can't seem to finalize my post on what it is I've been wrapped up in lately, too many things to consider and incorporate, ARGH!

My mind tends to overwhelm me on a daily basis, you see I must have a constant design and decorating ticker scrolling through my brain nonstop (like the one that rolls across the bottom of your tv while watching the news because apparently there's just too much happening that they need to bombard you with verbal and written news!? yeah, like that ticker)! Most days my mind is racing with design/decorating/craft/blog ideas and my fingers just can't do the typing and clicking fast enough to keep up! Sometimes I wish I could scream "ENOUGH" and the little creative elves in my mind would just take a break and give me some time to organize one thought. Uh oh, did I just reveal a little bit of my craziness? Oh well, that must be what keeps me going! :) But seriously, does this ever happen to you? Does your mind work faster than your physical ability (or willingness) to act on those thoughts and ideas? I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a bit lazy, so I get bombarded with so many plans and to-do's that I have trouble keeping up from time to time.

Speaking of plans, this weekend is going to be a hectic craft and family filled extravaganza, more so than last weekend, because my aunt is hosting a craft party at her house. I'll be focused on helping my mom create a vertical garden for her patio out of an old trellis and painting a few things that need a fresh new look, I'll definitely have posts next week to share those projects with you. Oh, and I never did eat Thai last weekend, one thing led to another and it got too late and since our favorite restaurant is on the other side of town, we ordered take-out instead. Fortunately the weekend is here again, but this time my boyfriend's mother and brother have invited us to join them for Thai (ever since we took them to eat there they have been obsessed like us!), so Thai will definitely be filling my belly TOMORROW NIGHT! Can't wait! Yay! Tom-Kha-Gai soup, Chicken Pad Thai and Massaman Curry Chicken (oh my)! *DROOL* ;P

So hang tight my bohemians, I'll be back soon with my post on what has been occupying my mind and my time these days... Want a hint? It has to do with some aspect of what's in the picture above!

Have a wonderful weekend!

xoxo
