Still Kicking Around

Hello everyone!

It's been almost 2 weeks since my double jaw operation and I'm still kicking around. It's been a very emotionally draining and tiring recovering process but I'm taking it day by day. My birthday was on Sunday and I knew I wouldn't be able to celebrate it in the normal way (food, party, etc.) so I did do a little birthday shopping days before the surgery.

I went shopping at Forever 21 and tried to keep in mind fun spring trends and dresses. Check out the gorgeous trends, what I bought, and other cute items I eyed.

Let's Hang Out!

Happy Birthday Betty!

My idol, beautiful and hilarious Betty White, is celebrating her 91st birthday today! The animal lover said, "To help celebrate my 91st birthday on January 17, please help me raise $10,000 for Morris Animal Foundation, which will celebrate its 65th anniversary of advancing animal health this year. Since a girl like me already has more than I could hope for, I'm asking fellow animal lovers to learn more about Morris Animal Foundation and to consider helping me make this gift to Morris Animal Foundation today."

 

You can send the lovely golden girl a birthday wish by donating at least $10 to the honorable charity. Betty has worked with the Morris Animal Foundation for over 40 years and has helped in its investment of over $70 million towards health studies for cats, dogs, and 100s of wildlife species. The research, funded through Morris Animal Foundation, have become gold standards in veterinary care in cures, diagnostics, treatments, and preventions.



Here are 21 fun facts about Mrs. White!

Lucky Birthday Girl

Wow, I had an amazing birthday. I was able to visit my family, eat yummy savory tacos, devour the sweet chocolaty cookie cake, and won a two night get-away to Foxwoods Casino Grand Pequot Hotel!  I entered Jammin' 107.7's  giveaway and on Thursday we were invited to Foxwoods' High Roller for drinks, free food, a free game of bowling, and the chance to win the Pack Your Bags giveaway. Next day, we packed our bags, went to High Rollers, and we WON! They called my name, pictures were taken, and we were quickly shuffled into our deluxe room. We stayed that Friday and Saturday night and it was a blast, I even took a long hot bath and it was heaven. We also were given $150 in two gifts cards to the two hottest bars in Foxwoods and two complementary games of bowling.

On Saturday, we went back to my Grandma's for the family get together (only 20 mins away) and it was lovely like always. Johnny gave me my favorite perfume (is he a secret VintageDanielle reader?) and I also received a fabulous can't-wait-to-watch-in-marathon-form I Love Lucy DVD set featuring all nine seasons and tons of bonus material. I'm truly such a lucky girl to have won that giveaway and have family that really cares and loves me. Okay, enough of the gushy mush Brady Bunch love crap. I promise I'd take pictures and here they are

It's My Birthday...Almost

It's almost here, my Birthday! I'll be turning 22 on March 24 at 6:10 pm. I'm looking forward to seeing my family tomorrow for a little get-together, eat lots of tacos, cookie cake, and just laughing all night long. I'll try to take pictures.

Have a wonderful weekend and eat a slice of cake or cookie for me!

 

Audrey's First Birthday

I typically don't post about family events such as birthdays but Audrey's was a special occasion. Plus, look at that face! How could I not write about her and her special day?

 She was born on March 5, 2011 at 3:39 am. Audrey is my niece and soon I'll be her Godmother; very honored. She is the only child in our family so naturally this little girl is the apple of the family's eye and get lots of loving and attention. Here are just a few photos of her special day on Sunday.

Sweet birthday girl
