happy early birthday to me!

June 18, 2009 by 1 Comment

My birthday is on Sunday, which also happens to be fathers day, so we are celebrating early.  Justin is taking me out for the day.  I think we’re going to the Botanical Gardens (to test out my present, more on that in a minute), then maybe a movie and some dinner.  It’s fun because I get to celebrate, but I don’t have to be a year older until Sunday, hehehe.

My birthday present.  I got a new CAMERA!!!  I can’t wait to test it out- it’s a great camera!  It’s charging right now and I’m getting really impatient to use it.  Here are some pictures of the new camera taken by the old camera (lol).

Look how small it is!

WEEEEEEEE!!!!  I can’t wait to start using it for food pictures!

Speaking of food, we had some birds in a nest for breakfast (is that what they’re called?  It’s where you cook the egg in a hole in the bread.  ah well, whatever it’s called, haha)

Served with some grapes and coffee.

I didn’t eat all of mine- I didn’t cook the egg quite enough.  I like mine over medium- yolk a little runny.  I think it was more over easy- there was still egg white that was runny, hurl!  Oh well, that just saves me more calories for tonight!  I think we’re going to Uncle Julio’s for dinner.  I’ve been wanting to go there for a while.  You can bet there will be some margaritas involved!!

Time to go- adios!!!

haha, just kidding.  I don’t have a job, so I wouldn’t know, lol.

More lounging happened today, but I did have a very exciting trip to Target this morning!  I got a carpet cleaner!!  And it only took me three months to talk Justin into letting me buy one.  Let me tell you, these things are a God send when you have a puppy!  That was pretty much the only exciting thing that happened today.  Other than cleaning the carpets I ate and read.  Yup, that’s it!

Let’s start with breakfast!

Blueberry pancakes!!

I used some organic buttermilk pancake mix from Whole Foods and added some blueberries into the batter.  Then I took a bag of frozen blackerries out of the freezer, put them in a saucepan with a tiny bit of water and let them simmer while I was making the pancakes- that became our “syrup”.  And it was oh so good!!

YUM-O!

Then there was the fabulous trip to le target to get the carpet cleaner, then carpet cleaning time.  It smells so fresh and clean in the house now!

Then lunch.  I made a black bean wrap, but it wasn’t as good as it usually is.  I think it was because I was out of the things that I usually put on it as “toppers” like avocade, lettuce, and salsa.  I didn’t have any of that, so I just melted a little cheese on it and put some tomatoes and a few dollops of greek yogurt.  It was okay, but not as good as it usually is.  Oh well.

Then I chilled on the couch and read for a while as I waited for the carpet to dry.

Then it was snack time!

Larabar!

Dinner was broccoli cheese soup with some grilled chicken and some sourdough bread.  The broccoli cheese soup is easy to make.  Bag of frozen broccoli, can of chicken broth, 6ish oz velveeta, 1/2 can Rotel.  Easy!

I’m sleepy- nighty night!!
