Birthday Recap and foods of the past few days

Hello, my friends.

Sorry for long silence – a lot going on here!

First of all – I got sick, have a real bad cold – sore throat, congestion, fever and all the other “pleasures”. Because of that I did not work out this week AT ALL so I am going through a bad withdrawal, too…All I could manage was keep going with my #plankaday.

Tuesday was my birthday, and even though it sucked to be sick on my birthday I had a wonderful day with my husband and Carmen.

First my husband surprised me by sending flowers to my office 🙂

Am I the luckiest woman ever or what? 🙂

My co-workers ordered my favorite red velvet cupcakes and sang me “Happy Birthday” (didn’t take any pictures of that).

After work, my husband took us out to dinner at Olive Garden to celebrate my 29 years and 36 months 🙂 While we were waiting for our order, Carmen totally kicked my butt at a kids game they had there on the table.

Check out the defeated me and the evil look on C’s face 🙂

I ordered their Chicken and Gnocchi soup (love it!)

and Seafood Alfredo, which of course I didn’t finish after I ate my soup.

When we got home, I got on skype to talk to my mom and my nephew who wanted to wish me a happy birthday, too.

After that was the time for birthday cake and presents!

I got what I have wanted for a looong time.

Yep, my very own makeup mirror with a light. Except mine doesn’t have a switch on the base – it is a sensor base!

It was an amazing day! I am so fortunate to have the people in my life who I love dearly and who love me!

Thanks everyone for your birthday wishes! Love you lots!
