Forty and Fabulous!

We had a FUN weekend despite suffering from allergies. The pollen here in the SE is OFF the charts right now. I have an appointment tomorrow to visit with a Ear, Nose & Throat doctor to find out a solution to help me cope.

This weekend we had 2 nights out in the Uptown area in a row!! Yeppers.. we hit my old hood Friday night then celebrated my friend Kelli's 40th birthday on Saturday night!

Here is Kelli. Her actual 40th was on Wednesday(where she was travelin on biz...ugh)..
I met her through a hiking group here in town about 2 years ago.

We hung out at her very Uptown condo at this historic building before heading out for dinner. I brought bubbles and cupcakes to celebrate the occasion!

A bottle of her favorite wine. Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay.

So fun!

Then we headed out for dinner at this place I've never before. I'm thinking Mrs. Potts has been here because I think she's a big sushi fan??

Here is Kelli and her boyfriend Blake that lives up in Asheville. Believe it or not we met him up there on a hiking weekend back in the fall. crazy..

Even though I LOVE wine I opted to drink liquor instead. One of my martinis.

I totally feel better the next day when I drink wine instead.

Then it was time for sushi! I'm not a big sushi person but Kelli LOVES it! and it was her birthday!

Even thought it's not my favorite I have to admit it that it was EXCELLENT!

Brad and I shared. These spicy tuna rolls rocked the casbah!

The whole crew.

I might poke your eye out! LOL! (after a few martinis)

Me and the birthday girl!! Happy 40th Kelli!!
