Apple's Birthday Shenanigans Day 1

Okay, here goes. 

Let's open this post with: 

I'm tired and slightly cranky.   I guess when you have 3 days of freedom, spent with your family and friends, Monday becomes even more so of a bitch. 

I'm still excited to share my weekend with everyone let's just jump right in:

(Don't laugh at all the random pictures I took.  I told you I was going to be a better blogger!  I took my camera everywhere this past weekend!!)

Friday.........

The first thing I saw when I woke up was:

I don't know why but this struck me as so awesome.  I repeated these words all day long in a "Neon type" voice.

I guess it's because I'm always leaving him notes ("Put the clothes in the dryer please" after school on the counter or "Have a great day, Sweetie" in his lunchbox) but he never, ever leaves me notes.  He also wrote "Mom" which puzzled me because he never calls me "Mom".  I've been known as "Mama" since he could talk.  Either way, I loved it so much!!  What a great way to start my birthday!!

I got ready to go while Supa took the kids to school.  We went to Walmart (my request) and we got a few things we needed, some new underwear for me - woo hoo - nice birthday gift to myself, and a few things for the kids for Easter. 

Then we were off to the nail salon!  I decided that the birthday girl needed to have special hot pink nails for her day!!  Supa totally agreed and even sat and watched while they made my hands all pretty ;)


Hot pink, baby!!!  :)

Supa and I decided to go to Ruby Tuesday's for lunch.  We hadn't been there in a long time and I had a coupon for $10 off!  Woot!!  

Free salad bar with purchase of an entree!!  WOOT!  Can you guess whose plate is whose??

Ruby Tuesday's has the BEST homemade croutons so I go to the salad bar and I was like "Where are all the croutons?!". They didn't have any?!  WTF!?  So, I ask the waiter and he promptly brings me this:


It was a full bowl but I ate them.  Heehee.  Supa hates croutons but he LOVED these!  I told him they were the shit!! 

Supa's lunch.  He had mushroom pasta something.



Mmmm.  My lunch!   Chicken and broccoli Alfredo.  It was good!!!

We were absolutely stuffed when we left and we definitely enjoyed ourselves very much. 
Lunch, win!!

Then it was time to go see our movie:

The Hunger Games!!!  AAAHHHHHH!  We were so excited to see it!!!

We sat down and the previews started.  (We were right on time)  I was settling in to take a nap until the movie started (you know they play an hour of previews before the movie) when I heard a familiar voice.....

"Edward?!  Edward?!  Where are you?!"  OMG, they were playing the Breaking Dawn Part 2 sneak peek!!!!!!!!!!!  One of my friends at work said that they might but it hadn't been confirmed.  It was so good and I had to reach for my bucket before the movie even started!!  Here it is!!!

<Drip, drip, drip>  Damnit!  Where is that bucket?!

Thank you so much for that, Summit Entertainment!! 

Anyhow, the movie was good.  I would definitely recommend watching the movie before reading the book.  Since I've read the book and THEN saw the movie, I was left feeling a little disappointed.  (As I half-way expected since the book is most often always better than the movie).  Supa agreed with me.  They left out some vital parts and changed a few things that left us scratching our heads.  A few WTF moments but still good.  I'm still buying it on DVD and seeing the second movie if they make one.  I'm still reading book 3 and I will continue to read it. 



I like how my birthday is under the title.  I wanted to tell Supa to get in the picture but then I remembered his identity would then be compromised.  LOL.  We can't have that.

After that, it was time to head home for a little nap.  I was tired from all that eating, LOL!!

Nearly came over after work to hang out with the kids so Supa and I could go out.  We ran to Subway together to get them some dinner and then we were off again!  (Wow, we got to see each other alone a bunch that day!!) 

We decided (again because I had a coupon) that we would go to Texas Roadhouse for dinner.  We love eating there and their food is great. 

When we arrived, there was a 25 minute wait for a table.  No problem because they gave me peanuts!

Nuts make everything better!!!

I wasn't going to tell the waiter that it was my birthday because I didn't need the entire waitstaff running over to sing to me BUT when I handed the waiter my coupon that said "One free appetizer for your birthday" it was kind of obvious.  LOL.  He promised that he wouldn't sing.  Perfect. 


Our free appetizer.  About 5,000 calories at least!  Whoa buddy!!

So, we're sitting there enjoying our food and I swear, the waitstaff sang 5 people Happy Birthday!!  I stopped counting at 5!  I was pretty impressed that there were so many lucky people that shared the same day of birth as myself :)  Aries people ROCK!!!

I forgot to take a picture of our salads, steaks, baked potatoes, rice, veggies and other good stuff we ate.  This was the first time in my life I ordered my steak anything other than "burnt".  I actually ordered it "medium" because I now like it pink in the middle.  I don't know what the hell took me so long to come to my senses but I'm glad I finally did.  That steak was sooooo good!!

At one point during our meal, I hear some idiot saying "Beans and Franks!!  Beans and Franks".  I look over at the booth next to us and I see this fat, nasty, redneck asshole having dinner with his son (about Dazzle's age) and his wife.  The whole time we're sitting there he is being absolutely disgusting and obnoxious.  He was talking all kinds of shit about things and degrading his son, calling him a dummy and other mean stuff.  He was really pissing me off.  Supa noticed him and we both decided that he reminded us of Jade's husband!!  Right then, the manager comes over to see how their food is and the guy introduces himself as "Chris".  Supa and I almost died laughing.  That's Jade's husband's name!!!  What a loser! 

Jade, I'm still saving my money to pay for your divorce.  Let me know when you're ready!

This was the point in which I realized I forgot to take food pictures again:

The waiter was awesome!  He didn't sing but he still brought me a brownie for Supa and I to share!  :)

We went straight back home after dinner.  I was so full and we didn't really have anywhere else to be.  I knew I couldn't drink any beverages if we went anywhere and that was fine with me.

I got home and Nearly gave me this:

I love how the cute little black girl has a Coach purse!  LOL!  Love you, Nearly!!

Nearly left to go on a date, the kids went to bed and Supa and I fell asleep on the couch.  Perfect night!!
