Yesterday was a pretty great day! Some horrible problems in my life seemed to clear up right in time for my birthday which made it much better. I had a lot of birthday wishes (thanks, Facebook! haha) and phone calls and love and laughing.
My husband brought flowers home for me. He says these are spider mums. (no I have no idea what they are – he’s the girl, gosh.) They’re really pretty though and they might have become my new favorite flower, well, at least tied with daisies.
He also cooked dinner for me, which was pretty awesome because he’s never really cooked before. It turned out fantastic. We had pan grilled salmon, pesto linguini & roasted tomatoes and a salad with vinegar and oil dressing, and Pinot Grigio, recipe from Art of Manliness.
For dessert, we had kahlua ice cream pie from the Mexican restaurant, On the Border. We went there a few weeks ago and asked if you can get the single slices in an entire cake and they made it happen, haha! And, now I am the proud owner of this from Urban Outfitters:
I’ve been eyeing it up forever and it sounds fantastic for a portable record player. And to go with it..
1. The Shins: Chutes Too Narrow
2. The Weepies: Be My Thrill
3. The Black Keys: Magic Potion
4. Kings of Leon: Only By The Night
I also got Beauty and the Beast on DVD, because you know, it’s out of the vault. 🙂 I was so spoiled and I love it all and I know I have some things coming from my two closest friends so that is way exciting too. Great day!
