Under the Weather

I'm not feeling so great today. My throat is sore, my neck is sore (which is odd) and my body just feels weak. Yuck! I hope I'm not really getting sick..especially since it is Friday afternoon and that would be crappy timing.

I did have a good Birthday on Tuesday. When I woke up, Jason had placed a vase of tulips and a sweet card in the bathroom for me to see when I was getting ready. Very sweet! Several of my co-workers took me to lunch at Taste of Thai that day - which was yummy of course. And, that night we went to Pesto Cafe in Fayetteville with my dad. Yumm! I love Pesto. I had the Angel by the Sea which is a bunch of seafood on top of some veggies and angel hair pasta, covered in a pink sauce (which I think is spaghetti sauce, white wine and some cream mixed together). Jason had bought a pound of chocolate covered strawberries for me since I requested that instead of a cake and we brought that to the restaurant for the dessert. However, the waitress apparently caught on that it was my birthday and brought us a yummy piece of tiramisu. We were not lacking in the sugar department! In the spirit of Fat Tuesday (and since I gave up sweets for lent) - I had no problem eating it!

My dad got me this for my birthday to use with my new camera. Actually, he told me to go online and order it so I don't actually have it yet - but should next week. I am LOVING my new camera although I'm not entirely sure how to use it yet. There are SOO many buttons. I will take some pictures this weekend and post them so we can see how they turn out.

Since in my family growing up - our birthdays always lasted the entire week, I am TRYING to get Jason to take me to Bordinos on Saturday. Not sure if I have been successful on that one yet - but I will let you know. Apparently birthdays didn't last the whole week in his household.

And - as I briefly mention - I gave up sweets for lent and it suck really really badly. I did it once in high school and either I wasn't as addicted to sugar then (entirely possible) or I had completely forgot how HARD it was because this really sucks. Oh well - hopefully in a few more days the cravings will subside...we shall see. Have a great weekend!
