Boy, I had such a GREAT WEEKEND! My birthday was yesterday and it seems like I got to celebrate all weekend! Saturday we went to Bully's house for a bbq/pool party! Had lots of fun and yummy food! Sunday my dad joined my hubby, daughter, and I and we went for a short trip to Seattle. We ate brunch at The Crab Pot. Can you say Y U M!!!?!! Man, they have gooood food! They put bibs on you and then bring out a big sheet of butcher paper to cover the table top. You are then given a wood block and mallet, to help crack the crab legs open, and a big bowl of seafood dumped onto the middle of the table. You basically use for fingers and start eating! I was so surprised how much my daughter likes seafood!
After we stuffed ourselves, we went for a nice walk at Pike's Place Market. It was their 101st anniversary. My husband bought me some earrings and a necklace for some of the craft vendors there and my dad bought me a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers and a smaller bouquet of dried flowers.
I tell ya! By the end of the evening, I felt like a very special person! It's so nice to know my family loves me because they 'want' to! =) It was really fun to have my dad tag along. He gave me a hard time about almost being 40 (2 years away). Then I had to give him a hard time for being old enough to be MY DAD! ha ha ha
Oh! And my 17 yr. old step son, who is currently living with his Aunt and Uncle in Canada, called to wish me a happy birthday. That really made my day, as he remembered all on his own. He went out of his way to call me and I thought that was neat! He sounds very positive and happy where he's at, which makes my heart warm.
Anyway, I did gain 1.5 pounds over the weekend but feel okay about that. It's a new day and I plan to get back on track. I stocked my fridge with fresh foods and plan to have a good snack today. Mini sweet peppers dipped in hummus! I also have some celery and laughing cow cheese.
