30, Dirty, and Flirty

Here's a quick recap of my 30th birthday:

What I woke up to find Saturday morning

also: my roommates are AWESOME!

Lynnette and I at Shakespeare in the Park in the afternoon

It was A Comedy of Errors

Not the best production I've ever seen (and I'm being kind, but I'm also very critical)

buuuut it was pretty fun

My first beer of the evening at Thai food for the birthday dinner

Good thing for the Surgeon General, I don't operate heavy machinery nor am I remotely pregnant

(how someone can be remotely pregnant I can only guess)

This blur is a love-in. hah! 

No, it's a reunion between me and the fabulous Morgan and Corey, two people who I love fiercely.

I hadn't seen them since I left California and I misssed them so fucking much!

I swear there are three of us in that blur

My birthday cupcakes baked for me by Lynnette

They were (are, we have SO MANY left over!) mint cookies & cream. YUM!

The candles say: Happy Dirty 30!

After le diner, I rocked the mic at karaoke. 

Awwwww yeah!

Happiness 

Thanks to Sexy Man for taking many of these photos. :D

Brilliant segue

I leave tomorrow for Kansas City for four days of freelance work. Therefore, I have decided that instead of getting guest bloggers (because when I do that, I want to spend time thinking of a good theme and asking all my loverly bloggy friends), I'm taking a blogcation!

I'll be available on the Twitter off and on (mostly off) and on the Facecrack. But I will not be logging into Blogger. 

I'm really excited for to take this time off. I love blogging and it truly makes me happy, but it often feels like a job (albeit a really cool job!) and a blogcation will force me to get away for a while. Everyone needs a vacay occasionally. It's just ironic that I'm taking my blogcation while I do actual work. 

Anyway, this weekend The Suniverse and I will be announcing the next Raw Photos contest subject so make sure to check in and start shooting away (hehe). 

ALSO: I have an important announcement! My cousin, the one who visited last week, is a brilliant artiste. She's really so talented. And she just started an Etsy page! She's got one painting up so far and more coming soon. So please go check out her work and spread the word.
