Hello Lovelies!
Just wanted to pop up a quick post to let you know that I'm finally 21! I only say finally because I'm always the baby out of my friends, through school and through university - and just generally in life I tend to make friends with people older than me. Some would say it's because I'm wise beyond my years but really it's just because I'm old and boring before my time. And that has become massively clear for this birthday. Most people turning 21 are having big parties, getting dressed up to the nines and getting fabulously drunk; but not me.
On Saturday I spent the evening with my family, my grandparents and my aunts, uncles, cousins and parents - oh and my sister! We had some good food and had a great laugh playing mad games. I love spending time like that with my family and we usually do it for everyone's birthday and Christmas and things. I done that on Saturday because my birthday is on a Tuesday this year, everyone's working and stuff so it wouldn't have been good to try and do something on the actual 'day'. So this year my birthday is quite a chilled affair. I'm going for coffee in the morning with my best friend and then just chilling the rest of the day - probably having a movie marathon or something.
On Thursday night I'm going for dinner with my friends to one of my favourite Italian restaurants, Toni Macaroni. It doesn't sound like it's that good from the name but they do my favouritest pasta ever. I'll probably take photos and things and do a blog post on it anyway, so look out for that later this week.
And finally this Saturday I'm going for dinner with my mum, dad and sister. This is the birthday to put foodies to shame I think. I'm undecided of where were going. I was thinking of trying Jamie Oliver's Glasgow restaurant, but then Lori from Glasgow Beauty Blogger suggested an amazing Japanese restaurant. You know the kind you see in the movies when you sit round and your chef throws food into your mouth. Whenever I think of it I think of the time Ross from friends was at one and bombed his date because Carol showed up - although hopefully for my birthday it'd be a little less depressing (that episode is such a downer!).
So yes I'm dragging my birthday out over a week, but who doesn't? And now that I'm 21 people can let me be old and boring in peace!
Oooh I'm going to Tony Macaroni's when I'm in Glasgow for the Girls Aloud concert (for my birthday too!) in 2 weeks time - I picked it randomly but sounds like I made a good choice!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good birthday - the chilled ones are the best, I always find that the ones where you plan a big party always disappoint as there's so much expectation.

It's one of my favourite restaurants! I've only really tried a few of the pasta dishes and tapas but everytime I've went everyone has enjoyed their meal :) jealous about Girls aloud though that sounds amazing! I've had a great birthday so far, parties are just not my thing I hardly even like going to other people's haha xx
DeleteHappy Birthday and the best of wishes :)

DeletePff I wanted to do a big heartshaped bear, but after the comment was posted it looked like a strangled one hahaha..
ReplyDeleteI can totally see you are wiser beyond your years :) I was/am the same, but that is what makes us us:D I totally laughed at that name Toni Macaroni hahaha do not know why maybe because it sounds so simple.
❀❀❀❀❀❀Have a great day!!!❀❀❀❀❀❀

Haha aw Ina you're too funny! I would've appreciated a bear that looked strangled all the same :p and if you're the same as me with people that's probably why we get on so well :)
DeleteThe name of the restaurant is so silly, but inside its all dark wood and is like a total luxury restaurant with amazing food! Never judge a book by its cover...or a restaurant by its name haha! Thanks so much I know I'll have a lovely time xxxxxxxxxxx
Happy birthday darling! Your celebrations sound so precious! I totally agree; partying & getting drunk doesn't sound like a good idea to me either! And I'm only 19 :P But yes, enjoy your week & I wish you many happy returns :) XXX
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm glad not everyone thinks I'm weird for having a pretty low key 21st! Xx
DeleteHappy 21st Birthday! Have a lovely time!
