LJ has been giving me a hard time with loading pages properly and trying to upload pictures and it's just too much aggravation...so I'm going to link to my IG where I have videos and pictures.

First, let's go back a little bit to Wednesday. Originally, my niece Jasmine and I were supposed to go to an Angels baseball game, but she bought tickets for the wrong day. She tried calling her bank to get it refunded, but couldn't. She called Angels Stadium and they exchanged or swapped the tickets to a future game. The tickets she bought were for a game that happened in August when it was supposed to be for 9-7. The new game date is October 2. That's a Sunday so I'll be missing church, but I haven't gone to a game since 2011!

Now, instead of the baseball game, we went to lunch at a place called Smoke & Fire Social Eatery. Very good food! It was my 3rd time going there. https://www.instagram.com/p/CiOIoJmPBNW/

Now Friday.

I go to a bilingual church. English service in the morning, English/Spanish Sunday School classes then a fellowship time, then Spanish service in the afternoon. Friday was a movie night. I was in with the kids watching Clifford the Big Red Dog while the adults watched The Passion of the Christ. After the movies, there was cake, pastries, and coffee.

My sister came for this part. Happy birthday was sung in English and Spanish (I almost know all the words in the Spanish version we do) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiUNES9rd5A/

Then the 2 shirts that one of my friends made me https://www.instagram.com/p/CiUR0fuu6b6/ She thought I was joking when I said I wanted them. LOL, I'm at the point in life where I'm okay poking fun at myself.

I thought I had pictures that another friend took, but I never shared them on IG...nor the pictures my sister took. Oh well. They are in existence lol

Then today some other friends treated me to a Korean BBQ restaurant after church. That was nice. https://www.instagram.com/p/CiYbzJBP42J/ this was my 2nd time going to this place or having Korean BBQ at all. Next time I want Lucille's BBQ. I haven't had that since before 2012 or so.

That's been it for my birthday weekend.

This week I'll be sorting the dirty laundry and hopefully Friday going to Lora's to wash after Kim's dr appt. I also have to go to CVS and pick up a prescription order that had a delivery canceled for some reason. I pay for the freakin' CVS Carepass to have my prescriptions delivered and they want to charge me for a delivery they canceled to re-deliver it. No thanks.

Another post will be about the drama/happenings from Family Camp 3 weeks ago.

I'm tired.

Friday was my birthday. I'm 40, ya'll!!

If I had my way, I'd be on a cruise with my BFF but things didn't happen that way. I'm still excited that she got to go, surprise that it was for her. We'll get that cruise/girls trip soon enough.

In place of going on the cruise, I had professional pictures taken! I haven't that done since senior pictures back in 1999/2000 or one of the dances that school year.

A friend from high school is a professional photographer and I love all of her wedding pictures, so I contacted her about a session for my 40th. And I nearly forgot to follow up with her to set the date for it.

We went with August 23, when I got back from family camp with my church (that will be a whole other post because I have things to say about that!). The location was the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)...more specifically, the Urban Light Display between LACMA and the La Brea Tar Pits. The time was during golden hour.

I had so much fun. There's a few things I'd do differently, but that's a me thing and not anything that the photographer had control of.

Anyway...after the photoshoot...like 2 hours after I got back to my friend's place (I used her car to get to the photoshoot location and Kim stayed with her), I had my proofs to look at! Talk about fast work! She said she couldn't wait to look at them and get them to me as I was on sort of a deadline to get the prints to my mom ON my birthday (my mom got them today)...and by the end of that week, I had my 15 poses that I picked. But wait! She said she included a few more poses that she really liked that I didn't pick so I ended up with 21 poses! Sweet!

see me here )

On my actual birthday, I had cake, coffee and sweet bread at church following the movie night we had. That was fun, too. I invited my sister and niece, but only my sister came, which was nice. I'll have pictures/video of that in another post.

Tomorrow after church, a couple of friends are treating me to lunch. I think I told them Korean BBQ. Exciting! Will have pictures of that too.
