Drop it Low! It's your Birthday!

My sister turned 21 this past weekend, which called for an epic celebration.  Well, epic by my 29 year old standards anyways.  We had a great time!

Rob and Jeff went to Nashville to see the Gators play Vandy, and I had my own adventures planned for once!

Edie went with me down to the exciting town of Picayune, MS on Friday night where we spent the night at Rikki's apartment. Then on Saturday we played with baby nephew Tye and went to the street fair, arguably the most exciting thing that ever happens in this dry county.  But not to worry, because in the afternoon we checked into our Biloxi hotel room!  We dressed for dinner at the IP casino (SO delish), had some drinks in the hotel and at the casino lounge, and ate with some family members.  Then we went back to our hotel after a LOOONG wait at valet parking, changed out of our "family-friendly" outfits, and headed to the Hard Rock Casino.  They have an awesome dance club with one of the best DJs I've ever seen. Plus a great bartender who basically kept my glass full of Crown.  We danced the night away in non-sensible shoes, and even with the time change (fall back), we went to bed at 4 a.m.  Wow.  Rikki had a great birthday!

Sunday we got up at 9:30 or so (lots of sleep for a 21st birthday I think), and I realized that the only coffee cups we had in the hotel room were made out of paper and had vodka still in them from the night before.  Not to worry.  Edie and I (the old ladies that need coffee) had some vodka flavored coffee to get us going.  Then we headed out for some panini and back to the 'Yune. After a quick visit with my mom and dad, we headed home.  The run this morning was somewhat difficult, but all in all I feel good!  

Thanks Edie for being a great travel companion, you rock. Photos below!

We started the a.m. hanging out with my presh nephew Tye! Yes, that's me in the ball pit.

Rikki's first trip to a "likker store"!

Nikki made Rikki a cute bday cake, and I found this wine glass at the street fair!

 At the Chill Lounge for drinks before dinner!  How exciting-a night of firsts!

Family friendly outfits for dinner. 

I would like to note that I am in 3 inch heels and Edie is in flats.

It took almost half an hour for valet to bring my car around!  

Silly Sarah McLachlan concert-goers.

More sad faces about waiting for the car:

At the hotel, ready to party!

Rikki and Nikki are so much better at "smoky eye" than Edie and I.

Sisters!

Seksi!  Also, Edie, you are amazingly tall in those slutty red heels.

Love my travel companion for the weekend.  

Apparently she sleeps much better when she's "sleeping around".

Ah.  Tube shots.

A toast to legality!

(I mean, I've figured out it's over-rated.  But still.)

I have clearly failed at sexy mask-wearing. 

It seems to be highlighting my fine lines and wrinkles.

However, I have to note that my lower half looked pretty fine 

in a dangerously short dress, purple tights, and high heeled ankle boots.  

Benefits of running!

 We ran into a very obliterated Chelsea at the Hard Rock Casino dance club.  

I gave her water to drink.  Her response?  "OH MY GOD IT'S SO STRONG!"

Chelsea's nearing the end here, but we still had a few hours left in us!

Smart to have only one "morning after" photo!

Super fun and much-needed weekend!

Happy Monday!
