maverick the dog turned one

Many of you know I have a canine heartthrob named Maverick, aka Mav or Mavvy. He is my boss and his wife's precious pup. Precious may not be the best word because he's no frilly girly girl dog. He is a medium sized handsome steed, haha.

Mav turned one (seven?) on Saturday. The Delahaye clan had a birthday brunch celebration for him. I got him this hat (amongst sausage and toys as well, clearly).

How frigggggen adorabe is he?! What a ham! I love it. He is the best. Only to be surpassed some day in the future by own pup, though admittedly my expectations are super high now!

Here is an after shot that Jenn took. I promise it wasn't animal abuse! He was too tired to fight it and I mean... could he get any cuter?

I want need a dog.

Thanks for inviting me to celebrate Delahaye family, you are very blessed! :)

birthday week in review

Yes it’s me. Me and my $14/mo neglected website. Whoops!

I think most of you know that since I got back from Denmark over the holidays everything has been absolutely manic.  Not even joking.  January turned into Tornaduary.

All things aside, life has been pretty great.   It’s a good thing to be busy… I’m pretty sure, anyway.  I was just in London last week for a few days, more on that some other time. This is my dedicated princess birthday blog post!

I turned 25 last Monday.  Richard (my boss) and I found ourselves to be the only ones willing to get a drink after dinner on monday night in the spirit of our birthday.  the birthday that we share… yes it’s weird… really weird. 

But my princess expectations of my birthday week were not forgone.  I celebrated on the Thursday night before I left for London with some friends at Cactus Club – my second home.  Went out a bit in London while I was there and then ultimately my hubby finished up my birthday week with a bang!

I got to Denmark on Wednesday night, completely shattered from sitting in a meeting room for three days straight.  In I walked to the bedroom to collapse and suddenly what did I see?!

My very own princess mirror!  I don’t think I complained a lot but Christian never had a full length mirror at his house.  This is obviously an issue.  Which was gracefully resolved by this beauty!  So shabby chic, I can’t believe he’s going to let me have my big girly mirror in his room!  Woop!

Better yet… Check out this hot Gaga inspired card he wrote me:

How friggggggen adorable is he?  He is my second half, my better half and more.  I love you, Christian!

Moving onwards with my birthday week… we went out Friday night to a tapas dinner in København and then out to the bars in Nørrebro with friends afterwards.  I finally found a bar in København that serves up proper margaritas.  Fresh ingredients (I nearly collapsed) and she knew what I meant when I said …. On the rocks no salt.  Rock on. 

I literally ran home at 5am… it was cold, I thought I was going to die.  Seriously… felt like I was in Antarctica wearing a cocktail dress and tights.  Whoops!  However, Christian told me that my “running” wasn’t much faster than he could walk behind me, pfft!

Saturday I didn’t emerge from my dyne until 1pm at which point operation cook dinner for 13 people commenced.  Slicing and dicing and baking and pan frying… We used every bowl, pot, pan and piece of silverware in our tiny kitchen!

Dinner was held across the terrace at Farmor’s house.  Lots of girly decorations (Thanks to Christian’s Uncle Bjarne for the gorgeous flowers).  Jilly style for sure.  Food was great, but we were so exhausted (and smelling pretty badly of onion and meatballs haha).  

In the end my birthday week celebrations culminated with drum roll please…LAGE KAGE…  whoa.  This the end all, be all for cakes.  I’ve been talking about my lage kage from Farmor for about a month now. 

It was obviously just as good as I dream about it (sick, I know).  The butterfly decoration was actually some teamwork between Christian and I and was made out of Marzipan. 

I suppose you want to know what “Pillefinger” means… basically it’s like poke/tickle finger.  It was a word I made up when I was trying to remember the different names of all the fingers in Danish.  It was kind of suiting, though.  I tend to poke and tickle Numsemund a lot.  I’ll let Christian explain his Numsemund nickname…

Or not.  I will.  It literally translates into “Buttmouth” hahaha.  I also made this up.  I think it sounds cute in Danish – and the fact that it’s absurd makes it all the better!  I am so clever!

And that was my princess birthday week in a big coconut shell.  I hope you had fun reading… or looking at the pictures.  I probably would have stopped reading by now.  :)

Love you monsters! Xx

i heart aquariuses

I feel like I may have been off the radar for a bit, sorry about that!  I did indeed have a CRAZY weekend but it was so much fun.  Our friend Sarah "Seb" flew in for the weekend free thanks to her new job as a flight attendant for USAir... I'm kind of jealous.  


Anyhoot, on Friday we all went out to Ned Divines for Steph's birthday celebration.  Band was good but playing old music.  Saturday we went to Suite and perhaps some of my friends learned my closet love for the clubs - haha.  Dancing burns good calories, though!  Sunday was SUNDAY FUNDAY, haha.  I went to brunch, ran 5 mi, then went to Gail's house and laughed a lot with her and Kayte!  Overall - a hugely fun weekend but quite busy!

Soooo guess what?  I LEAVE FOR L.A. ON FRIDAY MORNING!!  O-M-G I simply cannot wait!!!  I miss Libby more than words can say and I can't wait to do all the fun, corny touristy stuff!  So it's supposed to rain a lot while I'm there but I won't let it get me down and I will pretend that weather.com has it wrong, anyway (highly likely)!

I ran outside tonight - first outdoor run in a long time but it was soooo "nice" out today - 50 degrees!  Let's just say that my legs are used to a flat treadmill surface.  Tonight I did a little cross training on my run dodging ice patches and puddles all the while going up and up hills (I really don't remember going down these hills).  Anyway - it felt good and I'm glad I got some fresh Brookline air in my lungs.

Okay so this post wasn't much fun just a little bit of a diary entry/catch up on my calendar - sorry! Oh - it's Chrisitan's 25th birthday today!  My handsome husband-to-be is skiing in Sweden off the map but we'll give him a shout out on my blog anyway! :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!  | TILLYKKE MED DAGEN SKAT!

So actually I have a lot of birthdays to mention right now - it's been a birthday extravaganza lately! Safe to say that I really get along well with Aquariuses...
