I Ate Enough to Last Me Until Next Year

So last Thursday was my birthday - 27 years old. I am getting much closer to 30 than I care to be. But as one of the guys I work with said last week (he's a whole 24 years old), at least I am married and have a child already! LOL

Apparently when you get older (or act older as I guess we do), you celebrate your birthday by going out to meals (lunch or dinner) with friends to visit rather than going out for drinks. As such, I ate so much that I thought I would never have to eat again. All of the meals were great and amazing, so I really can't complain but I really don't have to eat much of anything again until next year. Especially when I have to fit into a bathing suit in front of my entire office (that's another story) in a few short weeks. Oh well! Here is what my weekend consisted of:

Thursday lunch: Sushi with my boss and co-worker & Paciugo (yum!) for dessert
Thursday dinner: Salt Grass with Austin (and Cooper!)
Friday lunch: Ridiculous amount of food from Truluck's with my co-worker while tasting the menu for an upcoming dinner party
Friday dinner: Benihana's (my FAVORITE!) with Austin's family & Joey
Saturday lunch: CozyMel's with Diana & Bern and Austin & Cooper
Saturday dinner: Shady Oaks BBQ with friends
Sunday we finally took a break from eating a bit and grilled salmon for dinner so I could detox a bit. Today, I am having my final birthday meal with another co-worker and then I'm done with the eating for a little while! :)

Other than that, my birthday was great! I wanted to get a newer, smaller digital camera so I asked for money/gift cards and was able to get an AWESOME camera with the help of my family and Austin's family. Plus I had gotten clothes and scrapbook stuff from my parents, a beautiful necklace and tickets to Oklahoma from Austin, and lots of other great things. I was very blessed and loved! :)

Now if only I could convince myself that working out was as fun as going out to eat! ;)
