Two-four

So I turned the ripe ol' age of 24 yesterday. I had a really awesome day, and even being at work was pretty great - I had organized a screening/birthday party and so for the last two hours at work we all sat around and drank beer/wine and ate cake and chatted and screened an episode. Yup.

I decided I wanted to bake my own cake and bring it into work and so I did. I wanted a somewhat healthy cake and so I found a recipe online for a chocolate cake made with tofu and was intrigued. It ended up turning out amazing and delicious and no one even knew it had tofu in it! I may have countered the whole healthy thing by icing it with Bailey's cream cheese icing though... But YUM.


And then I went out for sushi dinner with Nick and Karine to my favourite sushi restaurant, Juni. It was tasty. And then we partied it up at Rouge!


There are so many awesome things about this last picture... For one, my tongue is a brilliant shade of red, giving away the fact that the cranberry vodkas I was drinking weren't made with real cranberry juice! I'm making the 24 sign, and Karine thinks I'm turning 42... and Nick doesn't know what the hell is going on! Love it. And the best part is that Rouge is 2 blocks away from my house so, after eating a late night snack of poutine, I could just stumble home!!

Just live your life, no telling where it'll take you

My abs hurt. I don't think they've ever really been sore before, so this is a weird feeling. They got a big workout at the total body conditioning class I went to last night... and I'm feeling a bit sore all over. But it's great. Love it.

Happy Birthday to me!! Well, on Thursday. I am now the ripe old age of 23, and another year wiser, and embarking on another year of new possibilities. I'm excited to see what will happen :) I'm also really excited because tonight I'm going out to celebrate with the girls! We're going to dress up fancy and then go have dinner and drinks and get plastered.

Other exciting news!! I got an apartment!! My own 1 br, all to myself, and I move in Dec 1. Yayayay! It's super cute, about a 20-30 min walk from downtown, and only a 5 min drive from my work. It's got refinished hardwood floors and a balcony, and it's a corner suite... the only hilarious part about it is the kitchen which is tiny tiny and it's got a beautiful retro olive green fridge. Woot. I think I can handle it. I'll turn the kitchen into retro chic!! :)

My current motto for life: Just live it. Don't hesitate. Experience it. And that's what I've been doing: living and learning. I feel alive.
