Olivia + birthday celebrations.

I guess it's time to get this thing documented......

yes, I've had this in my drafts since January 9th of last year (and I think I'm gonna just post it to 'then'), 

4 days after this all went down..

I chose to eat at Olivia. Which was a weird choice... because I'd never eaten there before. And guess what? Hated it. We all know how un-sophisticated I am though.. 

I ordered the only non-red meat, non-disgusting mushroom-y sounding dish: two baby quails. Whole quails. Just two of them. Dead on my plate. I couldn't even eat it. So I just finished my mom's beet salad.

And I got some pretty sweet gifts and the most thoughtful cards. My heart swells with love...

Peonies, macarons, madelines, Vintage Furniture coffee table book, and a little necklace.

 My brother mostly doodles on all the cards he gives me and this year he (fittingly) included a drawing of this scene from Seventeen Again that we crack up at all the time. Mhm ;)

Watch the scene here.

And that was my 17th year of life celebration. I love birthdays.
