Hola Bloggie-pies!  

How’s life been treatin’ you?

Life’s pretty darn good over here! I have to admit – I was totally bummin’ after being sick on my birthday because it ruined at least 3 different events/plans I had – not to mention I had to miss 2 days of work.  But I couldn’t feel too sorry for myself – because the birthday celebrations are continuing this week, and my two friends from out of town are still trying to plan dates with me – who can complain with that?!  

Sunday I went shopping and bought a whole bunch of random stuff – so when I really wanted a sweet snack at night – I put my thinking cap on and came up with this!

35 calorie bread, PB & Co. Dark Chocolate Dreams, and strawberries – A-MAZ-ING!

Breakfast yesterday was rather Meghann-esque for me!   I took the new (to me at least) Greek Yogurt I got at Whole Foods:

and dumped it in a bowl with some strawberries, PB Puffins, and dried blueberries

This was a great switch up from oatmeal – I need to remember this combo and switch it up more often!

For lunch – I brought some carrots and Sabra hummus – now I remember why I don’t buy Sabra more often – I eat the whole container in a day or two!

with a salad that was PHENOMENAL – because I took my leftover Melt sandwich from my birthday – and made it the topping to my salad (sans bread of course!)

My girlfriends had told me 2 weeks ago to keep last night open – “they were taking me out” – but wouldn’t give me any details…MYSTERIOUS, HUH?!?!  

So I figured I should eat something before I left work so I wasn’t ravenous when we got to wherever we were going…

This little buddy held me over quite nicely!

After a full day of anticipation – I finally walked around a corner at Legacy Village to see:

BAR LOUIE! I love this place, and had been to the one in Columbus – and my friends had remembered me talking about that – and surprised me with a trip out there!  Seriously – how awesome are they?!?!?!?!

It took me all of a minute to decide I wanted a dirty martini…

…which turned out to be the best dirty martini I’ve had in about a year!   So good – I had 2!  

At this point – I’m going to go ahead and blame the dirty martini for the lack of pictures – I missed a pictures of our appetizer (the dip trio!), as well as the cheese quesadilla I split with Kristin – AS WELL AS A SHOT OF ALL OF US GIRLS TOGETHER!   Seriously – I consider myself a food blogger? 

I did remember to take one of my salad – which was just as amazing as everything else (I swear they put some secret, amazingly addictive, ingredient in the dressing!

On top of whisking me away me away for the night – the girls got me a present too!!!!!  Look how cute the bag is:

Inside??????

Running shorts and Blueberry Z-bars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you even think of a more appropriate gift?!   Not to mention – my girls like to keep me fashionable!  

Really – they know I’m a bad dresser (ya’ll – if you haven’t noticed by now – I’ve got NO STYLE), so they like to help me out when they can!  

Thank you SO SO SO MUCH Danielle and Kristin and Heather (if you’re reading!) – I had an ABSOLUTE BLAST and truly appreciate everything – you guys did TOO MUCH!  I’m so lucky to have such seriously awesome friends!

Breakfast this morning was back to the same old – delicious spicy oats!

You just can’t go wrong!

Do you guys every wake up and not know what day of the week it is? That totally happened to me this morning, and for a second – I thought “Oh WOW is it Thursday” – to only then realize – IT’S TUESDAY!  I hate when that happens!
