Birthday Week!..

Feathering My Nest has moved!... come check all of this out over at www.featheringmynest.ca/blog

Do you milk the birthday week!?.  Chris and I both do... he cooked supper all week for me!..

Saturday I got my hair did... regrowth was out of hand... My hair dresser is the bees knees... if you're looking for a good salon in Calgary go check out The Ginger Group... Ask for Candice!..


I wish I could have her at my house in the mornings to curl my hair!.. We had people in for drinks last night to celebrate!.. my birthday eve!.. so I got her to curl my freshly coloured locks...


The weather outside yesterday AND today was fantastic... it was windy as usual but the sun was just splitting rocks... It's about 24 degrees in the house right now... thank eff for the air conditioner in our bedroom!..


My Furs stuffed a salmon and BBQ'd it late yesterday afternoon!.. it was tasty... we couldn't find an Atlantic Salmon so we had to get a Sockeye... it wasn't as moist as the last Salmon we BBQ'd... I think the Sockeye is a slightly less oily fish...


Om nom nom nom...


Check out the cake my Furs got for me!.. yeah... that says 28...


My beverage for the evening... Summer Slush... Ingredients: two containers of pink lemonade concentrare, one cup of hot water, three quarters of a cup of sugar, a bag of frozen strawberries, six cups of warm water and a bottle of peach vodka... put all of that together and puree with a stick blender... then throw it in the freezer... it freezes into a slushy mixture... mix it half and half with sprite and you're good to go!.. Neib Amy brought Aperol... mixed it with lemonade...  A fabulous drink!.. super tasty summer beverage!..

Until it rained we celebrated outdoors on the patio... and had a fire... roasted a few mallows...



Onto the presents!..
My brother and girlfriend sent me a beauty shirt and the cutest metal bow bracelet... 


Neibs A&B gave me a gift card for Aritzia!.. which came in handy this afternoon!..


Yesterday A&B and a coworker brought me fleurs!..


This morning for my birthday Furs brought me out to breakfast... we went to Vendome... a super sweet restaurant that Candice told me about yesterday!..


...the Chai Lattes were good...


...the food was great...


...and the decor was simple and pretty...  check us out in the giant mirror... good ol' blurry zoomed in iphoto shot!..


They had the sweetest looking pastries in their display!.. While we waited for our breakfast we shared a Cape Breton Cheese Biscuit... Om nom nom...

Then my Furs and I went out to do some birthday shopping!.. 


I was looking for some slim chucks but couldn't find any at the mall... I ended up with these cream canvas Toms... and then the sweetest sailor shorts... black blazer with striped cuffs... running shorts... a couple tanks... and a military looking shirt... and some distressed jeans... I love birthday shopping!..  Thanks Furbaby!..


After we got home and had a little rest we went out with A&B to Booker's Crab Shack... all you can eat crab!.. OM NOM NOM... only because it's the last day of Stampede they're still running on their "Stampede Menu"... super lame... I was looking forward to their Jalapeno Mac and Cheese... AND to their Key Lime Pie... neither were available... they have a tasty brownie dessert we've discovered... but it's no Key Lime Pie... 


We stuffed ourselves with crab...


...bucket after bucket...


...lots of garlic butter...


...lots of shells...


... annnnd finished off with a wicked cuppa tea... er well three cups of wicked tea!..

Just a couple of hours and the birthday is officially over... I'll be spending the last few birthday hours counting Zzz's...

How was your weekend!?.
