evening everyone!
Thank you all for your birthday wishes! You’re all too kind!
I have a lot to fill you in on! I completely passed out this afternoon after lunch and ended up sleeping until almost 5pm! Needless to say I was a little behind when I woke up!
Despite that though I still managed to go for a 45-minute walk, do 40 minutes of yoga, do laundry, go out to birthday dinner #2 and go grocery shopping!
How’s that for making the second half of my day productive!?
So now, to catch you up!
Lunch was delicious – I toasted two slices of multigrain bread that I loaded up with santa fe turkey, low sodium turkey breast, lettuce and spicy mustard.

I wasn’t joking about it being loaded!
It was delicious.

On the side I tried my hand at another red pear. I’ve been having THE WORST luck with these guys – they’re always rotten every time I open them up!
But luck was on my side today and the pear was perfectly ripe and juicy!


It was a wonderful lunch -almost as good as breakfast this morning
The real star of the day however was my birthday dinner #2 that Mike took me out to. (I’m totally spoiled, I know)
We headed over to a new place in Hoboken that we’ve been dying to try – Clinton Social


The meal was absolutely fabulous! I started with a glass of white wine sangria (my newest obsession, can ya tell??)

Then moved on to a mixed green salad that had perhaps THE BEST dressing I’ve ever had!

Followed that up with the pork chop milanese

And last but not least - DESSERT! Because let’s be honest, yesiwantcake
I ordered the apple crisp with cinnamon ice cream

And Mike ordered the brownie sundae


A perfect ending to a perfect night! Thanks for yet another amazing day Mike!
We’re curled up watching Harry Potter now, happy to be out of that freezing cold!
night all!

Haha – don’t worry, you didn’t miss it! My birthday is not ACTUALLY until Monday the 8th – Mike is just dead set on making sure he spoils me as much as possible.
And yay! I’m so glad microwave eggs are in your life now – they’re totally a lifesaver for mine as well!
Thanks for the birthday wish!

Cake is definitely necessary for your birthday weekend! As is sangria. I love the fruit in it.
