Welcome to the NEW Green Dog Wine! You like?
Thanks for all the sweet compliments yesterday for Mike’s birthday. Ya’ll really know how to make a guy (and gal for that matter!) feel good!
Yesterday was a non-stop celebration of Mike’s birthday – most of it involving food, which really kept me happy!
Breakfast I was on my own (at the office) – so it was the usual staple of Spicy Oats:

Spicy, Franky, Deliciousness!
My friend just got back from a trip with her family so she had 3 different types of candy sitting on her desk to be “shared with all” – I obviously jumped at the chance to try these suckers:

Took me right back to being a little kid – I LOVED Lemonheads – I was always a fan of that sweet/sour candy! These didn’t disappoint!

Although the red ones definitely tasted like cough syrup – no thanks!
For lunch, Mike picked Melt Bar & Grill (which is where I picked for my birthday, and where we went for one of our anniversary meals). I can’t get enough of the ooey-gooey deliciousness this place serves! I went with the “Kindergarten” – plain old grilled cheese – your choice of cheese! The end result:

Fabulous, stinky, amazing swiss! MMMM!

Jealous yet? You should be!
Then – Mike picked me up directly from work, to head to Kent so that we could meet his parents, and have another birthday celebration meal – this time, and Rockne’s! (also where I went for my birthday meal with them – he’s such a copy cat)
I get the same darn thing every time:
Buffalo Chicken Salad – with their house dressing – I’ve yet to meet a better salad!
His momma brought a Birthday “Cookie” – which I just couldn’t turn down:

Why can’t these ever be hard, crumble yucky cookie? Then I could turn it down!

I’m not a frosting fan, so I went for the plainest piece I could find!
By the time we were headed home, we were both sufficiently stuffed – and tired!
Random: Anyone feel like “Lando”-sitting next Saturday (June 13th?) LET ME KNOW!

I’m loving the big girl blog!! Congrats on your move
Glad Mike had a great birthday! Ewww lemon heads!! Did you ever have those war things (so descriptive, I know) that were all sour and fizzy?
I am jealous of both your grilled cheese AND cookie cake! I would so babysit the Landerbean but I’m quite a few hours away!

Ok, let me just say that I am not a creeper but when I saw your pic of Lando I was itchy to cuddle and sit him. Dont worry you can stalk my page too, I have Brandy, I think she is a post 2-3 back! (loveprevails.wordpress.com)
And your Birthday celebration was ADORABLE! The pics made me only hope that that is what I can have when I get married (i am 21 with a serious bf, but not getting married for a couple years, hehe)

I love your new look! And I remember lemon heads! I loved those things. It’s weird that they have them in different colors now. The yellow ones will always have a place in my heart
Ooh Cookie Cake! That stuff is so good. I remember they had cookie cake in the mall, and when I was younger I’d always beg my mom for a slice! It was such a great treat when she let me have one. That stuff is amazing!

LOVES this new blog site!!
Aw, wish I’d Lando-sit, but Hillbean is a bit of a nightmare when we bring other doggies home. We’re working on it.

Darn, I wish I lived closer but alas I don’t think NC is close enough to dog sit. Lando is the cutest ever (except for my own little dingo, Lacy). I always have my husband check your blog when Lando is on, especially the digging post. Too funny!
Great Blog. I am the dietitian for East Carolina University. I recommend your blog to students!

If you live anywhere in the Bay Area or the whole state of California..I would happy to babysit little Lando!!
I haven’t had cookie cake since I was at boarding school which was 2 years ago!! We would always get it in the dorm and it is the most addicting and amazing invention in the world! If we ever get a cookie cake together one day, I think we would be a great CC couple since I am ALL about the frosting!
p.s. Thank you for your sweet comment on my grad!!
