Happy Birthday B!

Psssst, if you are interested in winning some Spanx, enter my give-away here!

Today is my husband B’s 29th birthday.

(Which means his 30th birthday is also his Golden Birthday and that means at this time, next year, we will do something extra special!)

Happy Birthday Darling! This means I shall take the opportunity to tease you a little. Natch.

Saturday night we celebrated B’s birthday with friends by going out for some delicious oysters, burgers & beer. Happy birthday indeed! As the night wore on The Namby Pamby and B parted ways from the ladies of the group and went out to the bars for guy time, which roughly translates to: too many tequila shots.  This of course meant that Sunday he woke up with what some might refer to as a “raging hangover.” Unfortunately for B the best I could do was toss him a Perrier and run off to meet some internet friends for a day at the Children’s Museum, which meant that the Sunday errand of grocery shopping was on him.  What could go wrong?

You see where this is going don’t you?

It means that instead of 2 cans of tomato sauce for the lasagna, we had 2 cans of diced tomatoes.

There was no Greek yogurt to be found.

There was also no string cheese. Or fruit. Or potatoes, sweet or russet.

I also can’t find the cheese or baguette for his birthday dinner request of home made french onion soup.

We don’t have any of the ingredients for shrimp & penne pasta which I’m making on Wednesday for a group of lovely ladies, but that is because B thought I said I was making risotto. Which we also don’t have the ingredients for because he forgot them.

I did however find a roll of strawberry Mentos, 2 bags of tortilla chips, and a new toy for the dog.

Happy birthday sweetheart! Enjoy your Kindle! We are having cheese-less onion nachos for dinner & Mentos for dessert!

When I was at BlogHer I had the fortune of getting to hang out with the women of Aiming Low (and by hanging out I mean oogling a very cute waiter with an even cuter accent) and they asked me to share some of my kitchen prowess. (Also known as: mad skillz.) Anyway, today is the day that my post debuts and I’m a little nervous so if you want to go check it out so they don’t completely regret their decision, have at it: http://aiminglow.com/. I’m talking about risotto, and who doesn’t love a plate of risotto? Only crazy people. Enjoy!

One of These Things Is Not Like The Other

No words are needed to explain how my week is going. I think this sums it up nicely:

Note to self: Self, one of these does not go well with a fresh cup of coffee. Also,  consider moving that eye appointment up a little, eh?
