Post B-day yammerings

Never fails to happen each year.

I take a week off of dieting (and exercise) to celebrate me being born.

Pookie thinks it's weird that I make a big ta-do about my birthday. He thinks that once people grow up they stop caring (especially age conscience women). I think they stop admitting they care about it.

I am not going to cure cancer, solve any global problems, or otherwise earn a national Kris-Day. This is it. I treat myself to K-day each year, no fail. I know it sounds silly. I know it sounds a little juvenile. This is my day to feel special. S0 THERE! lol.

That said, I don't diva out (much).

Boo takes the day off of work (same as our anniversary), and we have a date night. We rent a movie, snuggle on the couch with a glass of wine, and just stay off of our respective computers. We grab dinner out or make something different at home.

This year we made Eggplant & Artichoke alla Napoletana from Vegan with a vengence. Very good, and next time I will use one large eggplant instead of the three small I had on hand lol.





The only difference is this year I splurged and bought myself a new camera. Let's face it the pictures I have posted are a little lackluster... I have even convinced myself that I will feel better about blogging my food which will in the long run help my diet.. which will help me lose weight... lol! Yes, I realize new camera doesn't make so-so foods look awesome. :P
