How can I make this about food?

I have been a slacker and haven't posted in a whole month, which means that my birthday has now come and gone. But, oh, it was wonderful! Because I feel obligated to talk about food I will recount my birthday through a food diary. (Other RDs that are reading this, don't judge me!)

Friday night:
I ate with some friends at The Snakebite, my favorite little hole-in-the-wall restaurant here in IF, while I was waiting for some other (procrastinator) friends to get up here! So, I had: salmon sandwich, waffle fries, and chocolate cake.

Later Friday night:
Friends FINALLY got here and because it was "1:30 night" we stayed up talking and laughing, and I'm pretty sure I ate something. (pic: Megan and I playing Cat's cradle... kinda)

Saturday morning:
Breakfast at my sister's house with the whole gang. Muffins, fruit, juice, banana bread, yum!

Saturday midday:
We drove to Rexburg to go to bear world! Pringles in the car, free fudge samples, etc.

Saturday before the game:
5 guys burgers and fries, we all shared fries, but I think I still ended up eating 4 whole potatoes.

BYU won! But on the Bryan scale of football fun the game was a 3, so not a total victory.

Saturday evening:
Jami hosted a wonderful party for me, complete with fruit, veggies, yogurt covered pretzels, cookie dough truffles and it goes on and on, and then Casady (I love her!) made me a delicious birthday cake. I don't think anyone got a picture of it before it caught on fire (a story for another day) but it was beautiful! (And someone bought me "Five" to have with my cake :)

Later Saturday evening:
This is the only part of the day that I didn't eat, but I should have had the diet coke that Megan got for me because Tiffany kept wanting to "talk" about stuff and sorry Tiff, but I couldn't keep my eyes open.

Way too few hours later/ Sunday morning:
Another breakfast at my sisters, cereal and Reed's choco milko. (pic: after church we walked around the green belt and discovered waterfalls and rock alcoves)


Sunday afternoon:
A beautiful "Thanksgiving dinner" spread complete with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, spinach casserole, and home-grown mushroom gravy- and for the third time that weekend, cake!

Thanks to everyone who played a part in making my birthday weekend wonderful! It wouldn't have been the same without you.
