How I Spent My Birthday

Food. Lots of food. It's how I celebrated my birthday. 

It was on the 19th, and delicious food was supplied. 

There was also a fancy cocktail from The Melting Pot. I went out to eat with my Mom and kids the night before. Going to The Melting Pot on a Thursday is less chaotic than going on a Friday.

On my actual birthday, Tommy left me a special balloon. He also made me a video. 

Lunch was at Castroville BBQ where I indulged in brisket and sausage. If you are ever in Castroville, stop in. Everything is scrumptious. 

And what about dinner? Well. Taco Bell. Duh. I don't know how anyone can disparage Taco Bell. It's delicious. It's..well, I was going to say cheap, but it's not as cheap as it once was. I remember getting a Bean Burrito for .99 and now it's $2.99. What?! But I do have their app, and at least I earn free food.

And then Natalie dressed as Westley in The Princess Bride and sang Storybook Love from the movie. She self-taught herself and did an incredible job. (You can see her singing it here.)

It truly was a wonderful day. I truly felt loved and appreciated. 

If you'll excuse me, I'm off to have a slice of leftover birthday cake for breakfast.

Pride Section At Michaels

 First of all, check out this adorable duck! I love him.

I was in Michaels the other day and stumbled upon their Pride section. I was drawn to all the colors. 

Plus, it's amazing when stores have a display. It can help people feel accepted and seen, which is always a win.

Michaels has a little bit of everything. Joining a parade? There are options! Having a Pride party? Check out the decor.

I am a fan of this bouquet. If someone is having a party, bring these as a gift. 

Oh, and these buttons are fabulous. I am putting them on my travel backpack.

I need to get this heart for my door. 

Need a new tumbler for the summer? Look at this one! It's gorgeous.

So again, if you need some spectacular Pride goodies, check out Michaels. Everything is currently 40% off, so you'll get a great deal. 

Hey, It's Okay

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

......to be excited that it's my birthday week. My birthday is Friday and we are going to The Melting Pot to celebrate. If you've never been, you're missing out. It's CHEESE fondue. It's CHOCOLATE fondue. 

......to hope everyone has a wonderful Father's Day weekend. If you need gift ideas, I have some.

......to be glad that Natalie survived her first shift as a Lifeguard. She said there were tons of people, and all sorts of things happened: a missing child, a bloody nose... 

.....to be sad that Spurs lost to the Knicks, but also be proud of the Knicks. There were some close games.

.....to not understand why people are excited that Kanye is coming to perform in San Antonio next month. Did they forget all the awful things he's said and done? 

......to have picked up this green mustard from French's, and yeah, it tastes like regular mustard. Only it's green. I'm amused.
