Happy Birthday to me!

Yesterday was my Birthday. I turned 36 years old. My how time flies. I had a good day and thank you to my family.

Since it was my Birthday and I’ve lost so much weight this year, it’s time for a cheat day. Melissa, Eve and I went to Dangerously Delicious Pies for lunch (pictured above). We shared 2 savory and 2 sweet pies. We got Spicy Chicken Cilantro and a Chicken Pot Pie. The chicken pot pie was my favorite savory pie and I was really looking forward to the veggies and starch. We also got the Baltimore Bomb and a Chocolate Pecan pie that were over the top good. Since I’ve gone on my diet, my relationship with sweet foods has dramatically changed… they nailed the sweetness level for everyone. Great place, and Baltimore staple. A must if you are in Mobtown.

For dinner I had been looking forward to one of my favorite foods… burritos. I toyed with the idea of gong somewhere a bit nicer, but Rose pushed me to go to Qdoba. My idea and give in meant that we could quickly get in and out and get to dessert. Didn’t quite work out that way and dessert turned into a disaster. I wanted to hit the bakery near us, Yia Yai’s Bakery. I’ve been making and they do a variety of things. We got a number of different things but Rose really was determined not to have fun or get anything. Later she will learn that she was cutting off her nose to spite her face… but not until later. Yia Yai’s had a good selection today and I got to talk to the Macron maker about how they do it there. The time I made them my tops were all broken. They use an oven temperature of 330, so I will try that next time.

In an effort to cheer up Rose, we took our desserts to the marina were we are going to keep our boat. This was a good chance for Gabe to see it as well, since he’ hasn’t seen it yet. The kids played, we ate some dessert. Rose cheered up a little and realized she didn’t get anything for her self… She threw a fuss about that but we eventually got her under control.

When we got home, the kids got me a small present for me to open on my Birthday. That was sweet. I told Rose the other day that anything sailing or baking related would be a good present so she chose a picture of an old time sailboat (pictured above). Nailed it. 🙂

Thank you to my family, I love you.

Lastly, I also managed to pass the final exam on my Boating Safety Course.
