superbowl garden work day: best low key party ever

2016 April 24
by dena

IMG_9938whoops (and yes if you sent that snap, i heard through the grapevine and now you should do something in person, dramatic and surprising) anyway 2 months later and here are some pictures i never posted. highlights of this superbowl party: it was at the most beautiful house in 3rd ward (supposedly aretha fraklin used to hang out here) and although there was a lot of garden work to be done, there were too many cooks in the kitchen so makenzie and i got to sit on garden lounges and sunbath while everyone else planted fruit trees and do hard work stuff. but. speaking of cooks in the kitchen, we did wash all the dishes after lunch and the girl host/house owner now forever loves us. (washing dishes at a party is basically the best gift one could ever give. remember that) also we watched just enough of the game – it was a superbowl party – and dinner was vegan so it was basically the best party ever. also a new garden girl friend AND summer strawberry shiner beer. all the good things.

so, today’s my 25th birthday. (well actually i didn’t want to stay up until midnight and i can never really figure out how to schedule posts so – you get the idea) anyway . i don’t really wanna be turning another year older, but i don’t see how i could be living my life any more than i already do so i guess it’s fine. this year’s birthday plans are going to be pretty low key – anyone know how long a 1000 piece puzzle takes to complete – thanks in advance friends who are coming over and don’t know that in exchange for drinks and cake my mom made they’re going to have to help!!! here are some pictures + baby explanations of how i celebrated in the past. you’re welcome if you’re my BFF who is a guy and gets board at work – this one’s for you.

tomorrow’s my birthday. too bad it’s on a monday night. although actually, birthdays cause me a lot of stress so – it’s fine. everyone says go out and do what you love with your favorite people as a celebration – like go out to dinner or drinks or dancing. but y’all i literally already go out for dinner // drinks // dancing with my friends like almost every night of the week. so maybe i’ll do the opposite and have a low key birthday and as a present friends can help me finish this dang 1000 piece puzzle !!!
