Initially I had conceived a grand plan of brunch, followed by quick jaunt out on the water on Codzilla, then further drinks in Faneuil Hall to finish up our day.
However, I am in the process of moving and going on vacation as of tomorrow, so my life is somewhat in (very pretty) shambles. Our noon start-time was swiftly 1PM, and friends were planning to stop by, drop in, or stay for the duration. Based on this, we decided to start our day with brunch and drinks at on of my favorite spots, Franklin Southie, and go from there.
Upon entering, we realized we'd need a "full headcount" to sit outside, which is obviously impossible with a group of thirty or so twentysomethings on a summer Sunday. I had no idea who was actually coming and when, and if they would be eating or just slamming back some mimosas. So we took over the extensive bar. Literally. I don't think there was a single person on a bar stool that wasn't there to celebrate me, and the bartender didn't have a minute to herself or a dry glass in the house. It was an excellent day.
Special thanks to my man-friend Matty for ensuring I did a lot of birthday shots, the tab was paid, and I had an excellent day. I have the best boyfriend and friends in the world!
Needless to say, we got too drunk at brunch and Codzilla was out of the question. I ended up having to take a little nap around 5PM...possibly on our front porch. This about sums up my day, doing picklebacks with my future sister-in-law.
I leave for Michigan tomorrow to spend a week with my boyfriend's incredible family, at a house on a lake in the middle of nowhere. I could try to explain why this place is so awesome, but just watch this instead:
June included a trip to Denver and LA for work (which may have included a corporate dodgeball game), a lot of New Puppy Time, and a lot of eating and drinking (including the annual Phantom Gourmet BBQ Beach Party and American Craft Beer Fest!)...but what else is new?
