A Southern Twenty-Five on Friday!

If you've ever been around me near my birthday {and by near, I mean during the month of}, you know that I like to celebrate multiple times and sometimes lay claim to an entire birthday week. There might have even been a year {or two} where I stretched it out into a month. I kind of like birthdays, just a little bit.

Birthday week this week unofficially kicked off this past weekend in Edisto & continued through the week this week. Don't you worry. It still isn't over. I've got things planned for this weekend, too!

Linking up for another Five on Friday with April.

I have awesome coworkers at my new job who did some decorating last Friday afternoon after I had left for the day...


{yes, that's a gigantic container of animal crackers on my desk. don't judge.}

Melting Pot twice in one month? Yup. Totally ok with that. My parents took me out to eat there on Monday for my birthday dinner.


Raise your hand if you remember that time a friend offered to pay for everyone's entire meal if we went to Melting Pot and I said no, because the Melting Pot was the worst place ever to go eat. I think times {and my taste buds} have changed since then because I would never turn that down now!

Someone knows how to make this girl happy.


Zoo membership for my birthday! Yes! Y'all can go ahead and plan on reading about the zoo more frequently around here in the upcoming months.

My poor little camera has taken quite a beating lately. The longer I've had it, the more comfortable I am with it... it goes bike riding with me, it's been out on the beach a few times, it gets tossed in a purse for football games, etc. It's not in the best shape ever and I probably just need to bite the bullet and upgrade. But I did some googling last night and came across some replacement parts: an eyepiece and a rubber grip.



I'm ready to do some DIY to get my camera in a slightly better shape before the fall rolls around with football games, road trips, and {many} visits to the zoo.

& you know what? It wouldn't be birthday week without this guy's birthday!


I was born four days before his birthday so he's lucky enough to get to share his birthday week with me ;)

Happy Birthday, Dad!
