Despite a nasty cold, I had a good birthday weekend. It started with flowers from John:
Then we went to eat at "Rib and Loin" which has really REALLY good BBQ. I had a craving for a BBQ pork sandwich, so it was fun to out to eat . . . for once! My tummy paid for it later, but I think it was worth it . . .
Saturday I went shopping and got some great new clothes. Sunday I was sick but still had a good birthday dinner with my family. I decided to forgo the usual Halloween decor for my b-day and went with black and white. My mom picked out the plates and the pretty Japanese lanterns (I get so sick of balloons with Charlie around!). She made me my favorite dinner: grilled teriyaki chicken with pineapple (she makes the BEST teriyaki glaze . . mmmm!). She also made me 28 cupcakes for me to blow out . . . thanks to Charlie and my niece Caroline for the help! Half were devil's food with vanilla frosting (strange combo, but so good!) and yellow with milk chocolate frosting. And yes, my tummy suffered again but I promised it I will be good until Christmas when I can binge again!
I love the paper John picked out for my presents! He got me all the seasons of "LOST" on DVD that I didn't already have. I'm so happy to have them all now! I got some gift cards and shopping money from some other people so I'm a happy 28 year old camper!
