Celebrations

This was my birthday week, and with things kind of crazy around here, well, the celebrations were kind of spread out....

When I arrived home on Weds, the house smelled Oh So Delicious!  And I thought "whaaaat???"  because the candles I have around are kind of beach smelling, but this - this was something baking!  Turns out my son had hoofed it over to the grocery store and bought the ingredients needed to make a cake from scratch!  Yes, that's right, scratch!  I was really impressed that he could do that.... and I gotta tell ya, that cake was smooth and delicious - way better than the kind you get from a box mix!   (And yes, of COURSE it was chocolate.... hehehe)

Thursday is our night to go to the library, to run any miscellaneous errands, and then treat ourselves to a no-cook night, usually at Taco Bell.  But because its "birthday week", I opted for Chipotle's.  And if you've never eaten at one of their restaurants -- you need to!  I always get a bowl, not a burrito.  This tasty dish is filled with Lime Rice, their specially flavored roasted chicken, sour cream, guacamole and two kinds of salsa.  I think it's fast becoming one of my all time fav things to eat!  (And if I'm going to be a regular customer supporting them, I checked, and yes, they are on the stock market for investors.  They have gone from $60/share to $400/share in the past 5 years.  Hmmmm. Wish I knew then.... )

And now, here it's Friday - the day to put your feet up, sip a cool beverage and chill out for a while -- I wonder if Sadie will be cooperative and allow me to do that!?!?!  hahaha  crazzzzy dog   Happy Weekend!
