"It's My Birthday, Let's Eat!"
When I turned 47, I thought it was my 48th Birthday. So I got two 48th Birthdays because by the time I turned 48 I figured out my mistake. So...can I stay 48 one more year and skip 49? But then I'd have to go from 48 to 50 all at once.
Hell...I guess I better be 49 and quit playing Birthday games.
But for my birthday, everyone wanted to go out to eat. Here I am wanting to move more and eat less, and everyone else thinks we should eat a lot. A recap of Birthday Food:
Thursday, Chicken Stroganoff from Cafe Brasil and a Heath Bar candy apple. From the Arts Festival in Downtown OKC, followed my Nachos at the Redhawks game (on dollar beer night, no less) with my two oldest nephews. I was late to work Friday.
Friday, Cattleman's Steak House. I had a rib-eye, house salad with house dressing, baked potato with everything, some lamb fries (yuck!), two glasses of wine and coconut cream pie. Then we went to the Lobby Bar on Western and drank more beer. The bartender wouldn't give us a tab since it was my birthday. My friend insisted on buying. And for the very first time ever in my whole life, I had two guys fighting over who was paying for my booze. Man, I should drink more!
Saturday, back to the Arts Festival and a variety of food. It was great, but won't sound good all listed together. I also bought two new pics for my living room walls from David Mayhew Photography. With a theme of 'Rainbows and Road Trips', I bet you can look through the web site and find the two I bought. Oh never mind, Here's One. Here's the Other. "Happy Birthday to Me..."
Sunday my brother cooked Chicken Enchiladas with all the trimmings. I ate until I couldn't hardly breathe. And drank some more beer. Gawd!
Monday, Calamari with bread and Sangria to drink followed by Chicken Alfredo and summore Sangria. Then to the second game of the first round of NBA Playoffs and my first ever OKC Thunder basketball game (and more beer). Footnote: I think I may be the last person in the whole state to actually go to a Thunder game. Wow.
Anyway, there you have it. My 49th Birthday 'Eat Everything In Sight' Weekend. I may be hungry again in time for the big 50!
