Birthday Madness

At the beginning of August my husband decided to kill me with events for his birthday. You see he is unlike any other man I know and gets really excited about his birthdays. Normally, he likes to do a few things but this year we had so many events that just happened to fall during his birthday week that Chad scammed me into all of them.

 

Now, if you know me... I have limits. I like alone time... I like staying in my house all weekend and not seeing a soul. So, mentally prepping for the mass amount of social interaction was pretty intense. Chad didn't really have a great birthday last year so this year I really wanted to make sure he had a blast and I can say without a doubt I think this was his best birthday ever.

 

I'm going to (try) and do a short recap of events: 

 

Thursday (Aug. 1st) we kicked off his birthday week with a Pepper show at the Showbox at the Market. Chad had a gig at Hard Rock that day as well for happy hour so since we were already going to be downtown and Pepper (one of our favorite Reggae bands) was playing right next door we decided to make a night of it. The show was AMAZING. Pepper did not disappoint but the photo booth at the venue did. Our pictures came out wet and blurry - how rude. If you go there save your $4 and give that machine a kick for me.

 

Check out my Instagram to see a kickass video from that night and don't forget to follow me to keep up with all my adventures in real time.

 

We had a little down time that weekend but Chad requested my special Stromboli pizza on Friday night and a dinner date to Outback (his favorite) on Saturday. Sunday we had plans to go to our friend Terras and have a movie marathon in her complexs private theater. I got really excited about this movie event and pretended that Chad was really turning 5 instead of 31. Que the ninja turtle plates, movie candy bar, popcorn, Mexican food, and a jumbo cookie cake.

 

All of which you can see on my Instagram.

 

All of our friends suck because they are all healthy and junk so hardly any cookie cake was eaten and we ended up coming how with 90% of all the candy. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!

 

Seriously, only the bottom half was eaten. Chad's name was still pretty much intact. Weak people WEAK. Needless to say I made him take it all to work with him so I couldn't eat any.

 

The next night was the BIG event. Chad opened for Long Beach Rehab at Rooney's in Woodinville and a ton of our friends came out. He got to meet Q-Ball from Sublime fame and play with Patrick and ex member of Bad Brains. For Chad... it was getting to play with some of his idols and he was smiling from ear to ear the entire night.

 

 

 

The next day (Aug. 6th) was Chads actual birthday and I took off work so we could spend the day together. We woke up, went to the gym, and then went to Denny's for his FREE Grand Slam breakfast that you get on your Birthday! (Just bring your ID to prove it at any Denny's location)

 

The rest of the day was spent playing video games and watching movies with a Sublime and Iration concert later that night. I kinda sorta punked out on the concert... I just couldn't deal with having to go stand in a field for 4 hours so Chad went with his bestie Jarred and had a great time.

 

His Birthday week was officially over and when it was all said and done I asked him if he had a good one. He point blank said this was the best week of my life so, I'll take that as a nod for wife of the year.

I love you Chad. Every one of your birthdays is the best to me because if you hadn't been born I wouldn't have my soul mate. You are my everything. My world. When your dreams happen mine do too and I'll always be there supporting you. You have a heart of Gold and I feel so lucky that you gave it to me. I cherish you, my sweet sweet Chad.

 

 

 



Wakey Wakey, Eggs & Bakey!

Hi there! I see I have a lot more traffic today thanks to SkinnyRunner! Be sure to Follow me and I hope you enjoy!!! Oh, and leave a comment below that I can return the Following love.
--------------------------------------------------------

This morning I woke up at 5:30am for a nice workout pre-work (it was an ugly 2 miles) and now I'm just gonna go ahead and jump head first into Tuesday with a little randomness (TripleTangentTuesday):

In the words of the joker,



T. I really don't like Mexican food. (GASP!) Yes, it's true I hear everyone around me all of the time get excited about going to Mexican and they just can't wait for some chips and salsa with a salty margarita to wash it all down. Well, I don't like salsa, and margaritas give me heartburn now. (I guess I'm to old for that shit now because I used to drink ritas all the time.) I don't like shredded chickens/meats, I don't like corn tortillas, I don't like sour cream, I don't like chili peppers, I don't like guacamole, and I don't like a 100 other things at those damn restaurants! I could eat Italian all day, I can eat Chinese food, I love Greek food, and of course good ole southern cookin'. Me and Mexico though, I just don't like you. (Granted I love going on vacations to you but I'm not down with all of your crazy food flavors.) There are only a few things that I eat when my husband (who is OBSESSED with Mexican food) makes me go. If one of those rare occasions where I'm trying to be sweet and let him eat what he wants occurs I only eat from the following options: chips and cheese dip, regular meat tacos, PLAIN tamales (no sauce), and cheese quesadillas (JUST CHEESE ONLY). That's it. My whole life... the whole almost five years I've been with my hubs this is all I choose from. So, the other night when I was trying to be nice and said we could order takeout Mexican and bring it back to the house and watch movies what do I tell him I want?

1 tamale and 1 cheese quesadilla.

What does he order?

1 tamale 1 cheese enchilada.

WTF!?

How do you get these 2 things confused?

Cheese enchilada? Ewww

Cheese Quesadilla.

(I had to make this one myself at home that night)

It's at this moment in our relationship where I ask, "Do you even know me?!"

We almost got divorced, but then I realized how stupid that would sound in court so, I decided to forgive him and demand that he make me a cheese quesadilla. Well, that lasted until he walked in the kitchen and went toward the microwave (the only thing he knows how to cook with) and I told him to get out I'd do it myself. He better be glad he's cute.

TT. I saw this quote on a friends Facebook page and I love it and wanted to share it with you:

"What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Who I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction."
— Chuck Palahniuk (Choke)

He also wrote one of my all time favorites: Fight Club

TTT. I'm obsessed with breakfast foods lately. I will eat this for breakfast:

Oatmeal with: honey, cinnamon, walnuts, and Nutella

And then I'll end up eating this for Lunch: Eggs, turkey bacon, & toast

Not my actual meal or photo but you get the idea.

Seriously though, for the last week I've been knocking out 2 a day breakfastes and loving every bite.

Just don't ask me to go to Mexcian for dinner.

Do you Hate or Love Mexican food?

What is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast?
