This past weekend was my birthday celebration weekend. Every year for the last 4 years, my friend Kay-Kay and I get together to celebrate our bdays since they are a week apart. This year, we added our good mutual friend Tiffany to the group. Her bday is July 9th and we all celebrated last weekend. We got a hotel in Sacramento, had dinner at Pete's (a local restaurant) and then walked the scary .4 miles to Rick's Dessert Diner--which was the highlight of the evening. It was PACKED out. Bodies everywhere. A crazy twisting line and desserts galore. I am pretty sure just inhaling the sugary fumes we gained at least 5 pounds.

We stayed up and chatted until midnight. Yeah, we are SUCH partyers... And then got up the next morning for some MARATHON thrifting. How lucky am I that I have friends who love to go thrifting? Very very lucky. I know.
With Starbucks in our bellies and a little caffeine jolt to get us started, we hit the first store. And two hours later we emerged. VICTORIOUS! I managed to find a little ride on toy for Ella. It's a giraffe and she squealed with delight when I brought it home to her. :)
The next stop was HOT. As in melt your face off, no air conditioning hot...but we endured for about an hour or so. I managed to score a new with tags Coach scarf. Ca-ching!
After that we went to lunch. Elephant Bar!! We had the coolest server EVER. She was so friendly and open. It made lunch even better. The best part--besides the fact we all got dessert--was Tiffany was able to invite her to church and she genuinely seemed interested in going. I am praying Jesus blesses her real good.

After that, we had to say goodbye to Tiffany so she could go celebrate her bday with her family and friends. But me and Kay-Kay weren't finished finding treasures. We were planning on just ONE more store and then calling it a day. On the way, we found this little thrift store and low and behold, the entire store was 50% off. WOOT WOOT!!! I scored a Peg Perego stroller for $17. I have been wanting one of these strollers since Jon was a baby...I could just never afford one. But, I can totally afford $17.
Finally, we made it to our last stop and I lucked out and found a pair of brown Stuart Weitzmans that appear brand new for $10. YIPPEE SKIPPEE!!!!
It was a most successful and fun day and I cannot WAIT until next year. We are already making plans!
Oh, and I should mention that the three of us happen to be married to the greatest guys ever. All 3 of our boyfriends kept the kiddos for us while we partied and played. The Best.Weekend. Ever. Indeed. :)
