Twenty-Seven

Yesterday was my 27th birthday. It was nice. I woke up in the morning and we all got ready to go out for breakfast at Cracker Barrel. I love the atmosphere in that place; it reminds me of back home in alot of ways. Not the toothless white folk or the random black people with their crazy weave (we saw a dude that had hair like a Troll Doll), but just the whole "country" thing. My favorite thing to do when I get there is to walk around the store. I found a really pretty onyx flower ring there and bought it. (You can see it in some of the pics I uploaded). I also love the candy selection and have always thought about how their candy would make fun stocking stuffers, but never remember it come Christmastime. Grr.

Anyway, I ordered what I always order- pecan pancakes. This time I also ordered Turkey sausage but they were tough like tires. Never again. The pecan pancakes never fail though and I enjoyed them. Danny ordered chicken fried chicken and whatever else sides you get with that. They make some serious chicken fried chicken there, although I suspect that it comes already fried and frozen and they just toss it in some peanut oil.....which is gross but whatever! Jimmy Cracked Corn and I DONT CARE!

After I stuffed my face full of calories & carbohydrates, we picked the kids back up from my step-Grandma's house. Yeah, for whatever reason, they didn't want to go and acted like turds so they were dropped off at her house so I could have a nice breakfast.

I also opened 2 gifts- Jadon picked out a new Retro cooking apron that is white with little cherries on it, and Danny bought me a new cooking pot set. Yay! I know that it sounds really old fashioned and totally 1950's "the-womans-place-is-in-the-kitchen" but that's just how I be.

We had 2 couples over that night for some burgers, wings, guacamole, and the other kinda stuff you eat when you have those things. I had a bottle of Moscato, which is truly amazing white wine (nice and sweet, like woah). Danny ordered me a chocolate cake with buttercream frosting & bavarian cream filling. I got a little teary when he described what the cake looked like because most men are retarted and can't hardly get their thoughts together enough to be thoughtful. He said he picked a beach themed cake because he knows I love the beach, and it has magnet flip-flops on it since I love flip-flops. *sniff, sniff* I have allergies. J/K..it was really sweet.

The only thing that I think is weird and awkward is how I've noticed that when people come over to my house, no one sits down.... ? Like, I realize my house isn't so big, but I have 8 chairs, and a couch that can hold about 2-3 people, and a cushy chair that holds one. Why do people get their food and then stand up while eating it? It makes me uncomfortable- sit the heck down and eat your food like a normal person. Because then I feel like I need to be standing too, ♪♫and it's my birthday and I'll sit if I want to! I'll sit if I want to! Sit if I want to...♪♫ There would be like 2 open seats at the table, but people are standing next to them instead of sitting.

*scratches head*

Anyhoo, that was my day. I also had birthday cake at breakfast today and some with lunch, too.

I will be busting tail at the gym this week.
