Rai Day!!!!!!!!!

So… I am indeed alive and since I have created an inspirational Weight Loss blog at www.slimmingme.blogspot.com, I have definitely been neglecting Da Lab. Please don’t give up on me! I am making it my business to post more… I am going to be a “nut” for the next couple of months, before I start a new “personal” blog.

Well…well…well, it is 24 hours before my Birthday and I am indeed TIRED! I have to tell you all about it, where do I start…

Party Number 1!

Rai’s Pre-BDay Party!

This past Friday (Jan. 23rd) a dear friend of mine Bird was nice enough to open his house to myself and over 20 high school/college friends. We had what I would like to refer to as, “Drinks and Dialog”. The men and women wrote down issues and they were read and the other sex had an opportunity to comment on how they felt.

Shortly after that… tons of fun was had. There were recreational activities, both mental and physical along with an extreme amount of laughter. I mean, it was like we were in college all over again. People were dancing and laughing. Everyone forgot about their troubles if only for a moment. All of us are all grown up now with kids and everything; it was so good to see everyone “let their hair down” and have a good time!

Pretty soon everyone crashed… this brings me to the next morning. There were a total of eight of us in the house at that point and everyone was recouping. The three gentlemen (close friends of mine) that stayed over with us made the best breakfast. We had eggs, biscuits, bacon, and sausage and topped it off with fresh mimosas. Talk about a good morning… it was GREAT!

Myself and two of my friends that came down from Dallas showered (separately ;o) and headed to my house to prepare for my Official BDay Party (2nd)!


Party Number 2!

The Real Deal!
Salsa and Pink Roses!

Ok…as if Friday night wasn’t enough, we wanted to keep the party going. I had more friends/co-workers/colleagues meet up at a really nice Mexican Restaurant for Salsa Dancing and my big surprise. All of the ladies wore pink roses in their hair and we salsa dancing till our feet would move no more!

It was amazing to see all of the women (and men) interacting and having a GREAT time. We ate dinner, drank margaritas, and danced. It was such a marvelous time. I must admit though, I was a tad tired from the night before. I am not use to “partying” it up to that extent. I have been “dragging” every since.
As for my surprise… I HAVE A BOYFRIEND! It has been about a year since I was in a relationship, and I decided to do it again! I will tell you all about it in my next post.

Dissection:
Life is so funny… sometimes you get led an various directions, but it is so important to not forget where you came from or who loves you the most. I am glad I took the time out to celebrate my BDay with all of those I truly adore. God has blessed me to see another year and I don’t take it for granted!

The End.
