Backstory on Katie: She and I have been roommates for three years when we were randomly paired and realized we were perfect for each other. We now have an apartment with two other roomies, and we will live together next year too. That makes four years of pure bliss under one roof.
ANYWAY. Here are some photos from the party we planned for her, which was a go green theme to honor her love of planet earth. Enjoy!
We covered the island in newspapers (which we later recycled, of course...), bought her M&M's that said "Go Green! Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!" and got her a cake that I wrote "Drink, Party, Repeat" on, along with the recycling arrows.
Also, please note the "Smashed" hat lying on the island.
This was my roommate Jess's idea, and it was brilliant! Apparently she was very well-hydrated over Thanksgiving break. Instead of throwing away old water bottles, we used them to decorate! These will also be recycled, but right now they kind of double as Christmas AND birthday decorations.
The birthday girl and me! (I'm super photogenic.) I took her out to dinner and she was pretty disappointed that no one else came. Clearly I'm not good enough..love you too, Katie! But she was definitely surprised. It was so much fun.
Annnnd just for fun...that would be me lifting my boyfriend Tom, just to prove I could do it. Moments later, I collapsed onto the couch, dropping him a little less than gently.
So there it is! Also, what I failed to photograph...we don't have an actual recycling bin. We tend to use whatever cardboard box is lying around. So we bought a white bin, painted "We <3 the earth!" on it, and filled it with alcohol, aspirin, gatorade and other fun little things, and used newspaper as tissue paper. Successful. It was a good time.
And now, since it is finals season, back to what Sundays are REALLY for..."studying" in the library, while Pinterest happens to be open. Happy Sunday!
