My birthday was last week. Like a true Scorpio, I rocked it hard every day starting the day before my birthday through the weekend. This is the birthday cookie I received from a company I work with. The giant cookie arrived the day before my birthday because I took my actual birthday off.
I got white roses from my great friend Eileen, who showered me with love, attention and offered to be my chauffeur on my birthday.
I blew out lots of candles over three days. This is the pumpkin bread pudding and slice of yellow cake layered with dark chocolate frosting that Eileen, Emili, Missy and Melissa got me at BLD after my birthday dinner. I celebrated the new year with hemp seed-crusted tofu, roasted parsnips and button mushrooms and home fries made of potatoes and chorizo sausage. There was no candle on the tofu steak so I didn't have enough light to take a picture of it. Emili got me an awesome black silk shirt with heart-shaped cutouts circling the neck from the uber-cool Viktor & Rolf [heart] H & M collection. A day like this makes me feel happy for being me and having such wonderful people in my life.
The day after my birthday I got gourmet donuts from my co-workers. I made a flippant remark last month about how cupcakes were so 2005. So my co-workers broke the tradition of treating the honoree with cupcakes and got me these fried cakes instead. They were yummy with the prosecco.
The donuts' flavors ranged from cranberry and maple sugar to chocolate with coconut frosting and pumpkin spice. These pastries weren't as light as Krispy Kreme donuts but they weren't greasy either. A couple of us thought that the donuts were possibly baked.
This is me taking a picture of our photographer taking a picture of me at my office party.
This is the invitation for my birthday party on Saturday. The theme was champagne and cholos. My friend Isabel, who hosted the party at her house, didn't look like a happy chola-showgirl. But several people said they came to the party just because of the photo, which was taken by Alexis.
Keeping with the party's theme, I bought a stack of temporary tattoos based on paintings by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera and lady and man bling. The men's watch read Nolex instead of Rolex, and the women's model substituted Feiko for Seiko. Scorpios rule!
