Where's my cake?

Hey hey, guess what today is?  It’s my Birthday!  31 years of living for this girl   And where am I?  In Canada.  Without family/friends.  Doing work.  And it’s -10 deg.  I’m thinking I did not plan this out so well – what do you think?

Last year my hubby planned a little surprise birthday for my 30^th.  He set up dinner reservations and told me it was just going to be us and the Bestie and bestie-in-law.  When we got to the restaurant, more friends were they waiting   We ate, drank, and got silly on the dance floor.  Good times if I do say so!

Ladies at Straits, 2010

This trip was short and sweet though.  The sole purpose was to hand carry technical documents to an Embassy in Canada for an International Proposal we are trying to win.  I sort of felt like “Men in Black” all suited up, meeting high up officials and doing a handoff of fully packed black suitcases.  Crazy right?

And now, after a $1000 change fee, I’m getting back on  plane to head home one day early.  Guess this means I won’t be spending my entire Birthday sans family!  Yipppeeeee!

Here are my Saturday eats, which will conclude my 2 weeks of documenting all eats and exercises.  Later this week, I’ll give you my assessment and hopefully you can share your inputs too!

Saturday Eats:

• 9a—16 oz of home brewed maple nut coffee with 1+ tbsp vanilla creamer
• 1030a—small Braeburn apple
• 3p—1 packet TJ’s cinn-apple oatmeal, 1 tbsp pecans, 1 tbsp raisins (I was freakin’ starving at this point!)
• 730p—On the Border Mexi: 2 chicken fajitas, handful of tortilla chip, and some black beans and rice.  Stuffed to the brim.  But oh did I pay for it.  I proceeded to get violently ill from 830p-230a and pretty much “got rid of” all of my eats.  Lovely right? This is the THIRD time I’ve gotten extremely sick after eating Mexi.  I refuse to stop eating my favorite food though!

Saturday Exercises:

• 2 mile walk with Naava (long day at work prevented a workout..boo!)

What was your most memorable Birthday?

What is your favorite kind of cake? Mine is probably angel food, followed by a simple white cake.  But honestly, I’d prefer pumpkin pie
