Isn't it great how some people like to stretch their birthday celebrations for more than one day? :) Well, we spent all weekend celebrating Liz' birthday, which is actually today. Saturday, we went out to a lounge in one of the big hotels here, Provogue. It was a fun time-the drinks were good (although a bit pricy) and another friend knew the manager, so they arranged for a cake for us to celebrate. We put out the word and people just kept showing up. The cake was good too-it felt more like an American cake than most of the ones that I've tasted here (Plus, it was chocolate!) Afterwards, we went to an after-party near the beach where the music & dancing were good. 
Sunday, we got up and went shopping to get Liz a saree to wear to work on Monday. We had a good time picking them out (she got two) and accessorizing them. After dinner, we went back to our apartment so that she could learn how to wrap the saree to wear into work. Let's just say that laughter was filling the apartment at the first couple of trials. :) 
A few of us joined together and got a cheesecake and surprised her with it at midnight. It was a good time and such a fun weekend! 
Thank you so much, Lori (and everyone else)! I've had a great time celebrating this weekend and today. Everyone in the office has been so complimentory today... I might have to buy a few more sarees so I can look this good more often :-) ...And my parents even had a fruit and flower basket delivered to the apartment - (thanks Mom!) ...I'm sure we'll have a great time when it's your birthday, too, Lori... we can plan it well in advance and have a big bash - I think stretching it out as long as possible is so the way to go :-)
ReplyDeleteLori, thanks so much for recounting the festivities of Elizabeth's birthday! And, Elizabeth, I'm so glad to know that the basket was actually delivered! Please let me know what was in it, so I'll know if it was really worth it. Also, where are the saree pics?
ReplyDeleteLori, sorry that this is mostly to and about Elizabeth -- I really hope you'll have a great time in Hawaii!
