26 is still mid 20's

Last Friday, January 19 was my 26th birthday. I am now past 25 which I thought at one time was the end of life. But I guess its really not, because now I'm 26 and still alive. It was such an awesome birthday weekend...And yes, 26 is still considered mid 20's. This is the scale according to ... well, me: 20-24 = early 20's, 25-27 = mid 20's, 28-29 = late 20's. Therefore, I am still in my mid 20's...and for another whole 2 years!!!

Thursday my mom came to be with me for the weekend. I am so glad she came for my birthday - it made it so great. Friday was spent at the mall...my home away from home. I didn't buy ANYTHING for myself!!! I know, it was a miracle! But I found the most amazing blazer at Tommy for $35 (so seriously cheap) and my mom bought it for me for my birthday! Oh and side note, I found a skirt that I am in love with. Like literally...in love with. It's navy blue, A-line but with some pleating at the top and some extra fabric underneath and, and, .... IT HAS POLKADOTS!!!! (white). Polkadots are my favourite. If only it wasn't $188 :( Anyways, back to my birthday. After the mall, my mom and I went to Olive Garden. I just love that place, it has so many wonderful memories for me (my CMU graduation supper, Misty's birthday, Larissa's birthday). Then it was off to Chapters for some serious book shopping (well looking at, not so much buying). I had got some birthday $ from my Grandma so I got the last Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants book. I can't wait to read it (but first I'll finish the other great book I'm reading..."Fashionably Late" by Beth Kendrick). Oh how I love Chapters...especially the Fashion book section. I spent an hour straight just in that one area.

Saturday was also really good - my mom and I went to Lisa's cafe in Rosenort for Waffles and Egg Muffins...mmmmm :) Sunday was my birthday party with my friends. We went bowling at Academy and then to Applebees for appetizers and drinks. Let me tell you, I LOVE my friends, they're awesome. Our team (the best) which was me, Larissa, Lisa, Kelly, Mike and Misty have developed the new sport of speed bowling. Look for it at the next Olympics, its intense. Here's some pics from bowling.

So anyways, that was my awesome birthday weekend. I guess 26 isn't all that bad...
