FINALLY 2-1 :) WOOP WOOP

On the big day, I went to work at 10 and had breakfast with my new fellow co-workers. To start the day off, my "boss" Gabriel asked me if I was drunk already. I told him no, and he said he figured I would've started drinking at midnight. *tisk tisk* I finished writing my fashion blog for the Vox's website - which is in the process of being posted (yayyy) - and told Gabriel we were all going to lunch. Again, my boss hassled me about drinking. He asked me if I was going to have a "liquid lunch." I just laughed, and he responded with "Well we won't judge you." And with that we were off to lunch.

After picking up our food at "On-the-Go," one of the interns, Kurt, convinced me that I should go buy my first legal beer to drink with lunch. We headed off to Whole Foods to pick out which beer would be the epic first. We settled on Leffe - a Belgium beer - and headed back to the agency... After everyone stated the fact that it was my birthday, and I thought I had made it clear that I was turning 21, THEY ALL had to make a comment about drinking at 2:00 at work. Including Gabriel who had suggested it in the first place! The CEO of the company, whom I had met for the first time that day, teased me about drinking on the job... After all this harassment, the interns and Adolfo came around the corner with a piece of tiramisu and a candle (separately) singing happy birthday... They couldn't find any real candles, so a candle in a candle holder made do. It was a very eventful birthday at work and really fun.

Once I got off work and came home, my roomies had little gifts for me! Kate had bought me cupcakes from Magnola Bakery, which is famous because in an episode of Sex and the City the girls went there. She got me a red velvet cupcake - because she knows I adore red velvet cake, and a CARRIE BRADSHAW cupcake :) :) YES, a cupcake named after the fabulous character from SATC. It was the perfect gift! And then, Molly gave me a bouquet of gerbera daisies from her and Kate with a card for a pedicure. BEST BIRTHDAY EVER :) :)

After we were all fancied up, we headed to dinner to Gabriela's, a Mexican food restaurant close to our apartment, and had my first legal margarita. The food was absolutely delicious, and we were all completely stuffed. After asking for the check, the waiter brought out Mexican vanilla bean ice cream with a candle and the staff sang happy birthday :) It was the perfect ending to the perfect birthday.
