My Birthday Week

According to my mister, last week was dedicated to my birthday.  We celebrated with food.  So, I was off my pseudo diet and I haven’t been to the gym since last Monday.  I planned to go last Wednesday.  I usually go during my lunch break, but a Claim Jumper was about to open near work and the restaurant was offering it’s potential customers a free lunch.  So, a couple of co-workers and I went for our birthdays.  There are 3 of us who celebrate on the same day.  I completely forgot to take pics of the large portions of food.

Also, that day, there was a farmer’s market nearby.  I was dying to go because I wanted to find the elusive “rainbow bread” by Homeboy Bakery.  I got to the booth fairly early and I managed to get the last loaf.  It’s essentially white bread with food coloring.  Kids love it.  I heart all the colors.  What’s weird is that it looks like it should taste sweet, but it doesn’t.  This evening, I made grilled cheese sandwiches.20130519-214726.jpg

Apparently, this week is a popular birthday week.  I have a couple of friends who are also celebrating on the 14th, the 17th and 4 of us on the 16th.  One of Mr. C’s friends celebrated his birthday at Chuck E. Cheese’s.  I was the parent who took him.  I think I might have preferred to be the one to stay at home with the younger 2, but Mr. C. wanted me to go with him.  I’m not too fond of this place, I’m way too old to appreciate it.  Mr. C and his friends especially the birthday boy loved it.    20130519-214651.jpg

 

Friday night we celebrated with my extended family at a Chinese restaurant.  We have to eat noodles because it represents long life.  So, it’s been a non-stop eating adventure.  And I pigged out.  No diet here.  I think I may have gained all the weight I lost.20130519-214623.jpg

Then last night, my mister treated me to the Chart House.  We decided to go here because we are Landry’s Select Club Members.  The Chart House really did it up.  Here’s the menu.  I didn’t even notice until my mister pointed it out.  I heart it!20130519-214735.jpg

I totally forgot to take a pic of my soup trio and my shrimp trio plate.  But here was our dessert.  Godiva Molten Lava Cake with Ice Cream and drizzled with hot fudge and toffee sprinkles.  It was ridiculous.  Can you believe we didn’t even finish it?  We had eaten so much already.  Plus, I ordered a decaf cappuccino to go with the dessert.  We are piggies.  I heart the mister so.20130519-214743.jpg

And here’s a pic of my little lady’s leg on mine.  She just loves to do that and I heart her for doing it.20130519-214851.jpg

I promise I’ll get back to my regular posts soon.  I just got thrown off with the birthday bonanzas.

How do you like to celebrate birthdays?

 

Busy Busy Week

I’ve been reorganizing and cleaning this past week.  It’s been crazy and I haven’t had a chance to make it to the thrifts.

I turned 39 today.  It was pretty uneventful, though my mister did surprise me with this watch.20130502-221728.jpg

Actually, I may return it.  The color of the band doesn’t go well with my skin tone.  Maybe, I should just exchange it for this pink one.

He’s so sweet because he really does read my blog.  Actually, he’s a really good gift giver.  He tries hard to find out what I want.  I heart him!

If you haven’t seen this yet… you have to!

I heart this couple.  You can tell they love life and love singing!

I’ve actually been to this gas station, I don’t think I would’ve done what they did.  How about you?

Another Kid’s Edition of Fashion Fridays

I think they pretty much know that I take their picture on Fridays.  So, it never fails that Bakey is the goofy one, the Little Lady is  the serious one and Mr. C is the happy one.

So far this has been the best way to document these 3.  They really have grown even in the short time I’ve been doing this especially the little lady.

These boys are such hams.  I don’t know what I’m going to do when they get older.

Once the Little Lady figures out where and how she fits into the family, her little personality is going to show through the pics.  Oh and by the way, she hates socks and shoes…

 

Marina Abramovic Performance Artist

Since my dad was an artist, I have always valued the importance of art and creativity. I ran across this article about Marina Abramovic.  She’s been hailed as one of the best performance artists of our time.  So, of course someone did a documentary about her.  Check out the trailer.

 

There’s even this tumblr blog about an exhibit in which she made people cry.  She literally just sits there and stares at you.  I remember doing that with friends or my kids and we don’t cry, we laugh.  It’s really interesting to see how vulnerable you become when you are in front of a stranger.

What do you think of performance artists?

TV Obsession

I’ve been a TV junkie since I was born.  Seriously, once I find a show I heart, I get obsessed.

A while ago, I was offered a free one month trial to Hulu Plus.  So, how could I not accept it.  I’ve been wanting to check out Downton Abbey.  I was able to watch the first 2 season there and watch the 3rd season online at PBS.  I heart all that British Lord & Lady drama!

Here’s the real Downton Abbey.

I also checked out Scandal.  I’m a huge Shonda Rhimes fan.  I heart Grey’s Anatomy.  A friend of mine kept telling me how great Scandal was and I did watch some of the very first episode, but I didn’t find Kerry Washington all that appealing.  It’s probably because she either looks angry or sad.  But, through Hulu, I got hooked.  Now, I have to watch it.  I heart all the scandal.

Huck is my favorite character on Scandal.

Once my Hulu Plus subscription ended, I signed up for Netflix.  I must say, I heart it!  Better movies and tons of shows!!  So, I watched The Walking Dead.  Heart it so!  Zombies are scary!  I cannot wait for season 4.

 

Tell me, do you have any shows you’re obsessed with?
