Hey guys!

Do you know what today is? Why, it is my 35th Birthday! 🙂

My sister made me these cream cheese cookie dough icing (!!!!!) cupcakes to bring to my office. It reminded me of bringing cupcakes in for your class on your Birthday as a kid. 🙂

FYI – They were just as delicious as they look!! 🙂

Sadly, I will be spending most of my Birthday at work, but I am looking forward to celebrating this weekend.

Have a great day!   Have some cake in honor of me today! 🙂

Anyone else have a February birthday??

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I will be spending the day with my 2 Valentines

Hey guys!

How was your weekend?

Saturday morning started with a very cold walk with my furry friend.

After we got back from our walk, I did some laundry, cleaned our bathroom, vacuumed, threw our sheets in the wash, and took a shower. Then it was time to take the Shih Tzu to the groomer (which was very much needed!).

My boy was stylin’ after his trip to the groomer.

I am obsessed with him (if you couldn’t tell from the 1000000000 pictures I post of him on this little old blog!). 🙂

Later in the afternoon, we decided to make the hour drive to Carmine’s to have dinner. Carmine’s is a restaurant with mostly Italian food that is served family style. I didn’t take any pictures since the restaurant was pretty dark inside, but the food was absolutely delicious. I had penne with vodka sauce and Pat got a Porterhouse steak. Since the meals were family size, we both went home with leftovers.

Sunday morning started with another walk with Bosco. When we got back from our walk, Pat and I took him with us in the car to get some bagels for breakfast. I got a sesame bagel with eggs and cheddar cheese.

I spent the rest of the morning doing laundry, getting some food ready for next week (washed blueberries and got some of my snacks for work bagged), and cleaning.

In the afternoon, Pat and I had the leftovers we brought home last night. The penne with vodka sauce was just as tasty the second time.

After we ate, we hung out on the couch for a while reading and watching some HGTV.

Then we decided to go to the movies. The movie was Pat’s pick but it was pretty funny.

Now it is time to hang out on the couch with Pat and Bosco. I think I may need to make myself some hot chocolate too. 🙂

Have a great night!!! 🙂

oh you know, just whipped up some brown sugar cake batter bars (nothing for an experienced baker like myself) 🙂

delicious pizza for dinner on Fri. night

went to the movies

Vanilla Chai – mmm mmm mmm!

my little lover

peanut butter cookies that I made for Pat (I MAY have had to sample them, JUST to make sure they tasted OK for him.)

not sure who is more excited about the Super Bowl – me or Bosco. I think it might be a tie. 🙂

what I am excited about – Super Bowl snacks
