Birthday Weekend in Pictures

I haven’t blogged for a few days.  I haven’t done much of anything that required any thought.  I figured it was my vacation from thinking.  No work, no bill paying, no email checking, no nothin!  I just finished going through all my emails and responding to what was needed and deleting all the junk mail of past sales I missed.  I updated my calendar for the week to get caught up on everything:  I scheduled in gym time since I missed Pilates tonight. I have to pay a few bills that are due this week, tidy up the mail that is stacking up on my coffee table, go through my clothes purchases this month and make the final decision to have it enter my closet or take it back to the store and groceries.  I have gone out to eat almost every meal since Friday lunch and I need to do inventory bad.  I have no idea if I have food to pack for lunch tomorrow.  Back to work tomorrow too…ugh!  My time off has been nice and tomorrow I have to go back to the real world.  I spent my last day of freedom helping my sister paint my nieces bedroom pink.  Now my whole body aches.  I did some googling to see how many calories I hopefully burned from my 3+ hours of taping and painting.  From what I found I could have burned anywhere from 192 calories an hour up to 807 calories.  I just did the middle estimate of about 538 calories which made up for my 4 pieces of pizza dinner I had tonight.  My night did end on a high note with a much needed pedicure (foot rub included) and a diet Dr. Pepper for the drive home. 

Here a few pics of me and my family over the weekend: ok that was an understatement, here are A LOT of pictures from the weekend

We went out to eat at Hot Olives in Winter Park.  I’m in love with their Pear & Brie Pork Tenderloins, mainly because of the butternut squash risotto that comes with it…Delicious!  We played musical chairs so I could get a picture with everyone.  Some of the light is really bad in these pictures.

Matt thinks he is so funny making faces in my pictures. 
Little does he know them more faces he makes the more pictures he has to take.

There are several blurry versions of the pictures with my sister KT, I could not stop laughing and I couldn’t figure out why.  We finally got it under control for at least one good shot.

On Sunday we hung out at my sister’s house and ate a bunch of fried food and cookies.  I gave my niece Justine the job of taking candid pictures of what everyone was up to.  I think I’ll make this her permanent job for our family gatherings because I never take enough pictures.

Huddy would not come out from under the table for the picture, so we joined him under the table. 
Under there I discovered he was doing a little business of his own…STINKY!

I dragged Matt outside for some more pictures of us.  I was not satisfied with the ones from the night before.  Matt hates taking pictures and I love it.  I’ve told him if he ever runs out of ideas for gifts or wants to do something nice fore me just let me take a bunch of pictures of us and I’ll be happy.  Since it was my bday he suffered through a few pictures for me.
He still couldn’t resist trying to be silly in a lot of them.

The Birthday is finally over.  I’ve decided people should just skip the 30th just go straight from 29 to 31.
I have now finished my 5 day eating binge and my stomach will be happy to know it is back to its normal low calorie, low fat diet tomorrow morning. I’m not sure I could have taken much more anyway.

I’ll be back to blogging about fun things again tomorrow!
