My Boo's Bday!!

Yesterday was my boo's bday, so naturally I took the day off to allow for shenanigans. 

Classy breakfast: We had pancakes with a little real vanilla extract added and oven baked bacon (the easiest way I've ever cooked it!). Our TMNT orange juice glasses were a great find since we are both HUGE fans. The champagne is Tobin James, local here and delicious everywhere. Get it and you will be hooked, promise. 

Here's what I got him:

He really likes spiderman, so I figured if we frame a few comics in a classy way, we could easily add them to our apartment decor without feeling like we are kids (well, younger kids, lets be honest we aren't that grown up yet). So I ordered six of his favorites from the 90s and got a huge frame for them. I had to wrap them in scrap-paper/blueprints from work, and even then they didn't cover up the frame very well, so I had to layer them on. It was a little bulky to say the least. 

(That's his card I made him, taped to the front. It's dorky so that's why I'm not sharing a close up--sorry boos!)

I think he caught comic book fever because next we headed to a local comic book store, and he was in heaven. This is only one row of the many that are in this warehouse-sized store!  

They had everything there, including this little gem: 

After going to another shop that was smaller, (not pictured, it was a little claustrophobic in there to be honest), he got two more to add and we set about rematting them. Ta da!

And here he is setting up his train set that he got from his parents. Kind of a toy-themed birthday this year! 

Then we got dinner and saw Hangover Part III, which was pretty entertaining for being a sequel. I need to post my summer movie list--I'll do that soon boos!! There are a handful of films coming out that I'm looking forward to, plus with the movie tickets being only $10 here, it's more affordable than in Long Beach. I guess small towns have that going for them. 

Now back to work and the real world...

Fat Kid Lunch

You really can't beat a good fat kid lunch. I knew my Boo was in a good mood when he suggested grilled cheeses and french fries for lunchers. (For those who didn't know, I used to be about 35+ pounds heavier, sooo I know a thing or two about fat kid meals). Anyway, it was delish on a dish!! Now I should probably go running after work, but it's waaaaay too windy, and I'm just that easily convinced to sit this one out. 

You really wanna know how lazy I am? Alrighty! 

Example #1: I NEVER wore sneakers to P.E. in high school. Always flip flops. I got marked down so many points that I had to do some extra credit to get a "pass" (don't tell my parents), which meant I had to write a few essays. Luckily, writing is a strong point for me, and it only involves moving your eyes and fingers on a keyboard. Perfect! I think in the end I wrote more essays than I ran miles...oops. 

Example #2: I will NEVER walk up an escalator. Please tell me, what is the point in walking up stairs that are IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING YOU?! It baffles me whenever someone walks up one, and I will never understand that logic.

I have a plethora of other examples, which I'm sure will come out in due time. But right now I need to get back to these fries before the Boo steals them all. 

Hands off!

PS: I'm praying for you Boston, and I feel stronger than ever in our country's ability in finding the f***er who bombed us. United we stand!!!
