My Birthday Weekend !

                                             My Birthday was on Friday, April 19th
                                                  Yes ....the big 44 years old ....Yikes !


                            I woke up to a beautiful display of Roses from my husband ....
 

                        Then off to work I went .......however I was in for a treat today .....

          


                                       My friend Tamara gave me a Birthday treat for a ....

                                                                        Hydrafacial....

                  All the top celebrities are using this treatment now a days .... 



 My friend Tamara makes you feel so relaxed and she educates you on your skin and skincare products you should be using ...She is wonderful !


                                               Ahhhhh.....I feel so much better !!!!  
                                      I told her to erase all the 44 years of wrinkles ...lol
                                                             Back to work I went ...
               then one of my accounts wanted to take me out for Happy Hour ...
                                   I ordered a  Peach Sangria &  Naked wings ....Yum!
                                         We went to BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse! 
                  The funniest  thing is I'm meeting my husband later with friends
                                    at another BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse! 



                 My friends were joking " Your having a BJ's Birthday ...Oh Boy !!!"
                            and then they ordered me a certain BJ shot (Censored)
                                                        that they made me do ...
                                               ah no pics ...Thank Goodness...
1/2 shot Bailey's Irish Cream 1/2 shot Kahlua Topped with whipped cream ..
                                                                It was yummy !
                                    My friend did record the moment probably 
                                floating around the Facebook galaxy ..Ughhh!


 After that I needed some coffee.....My sister in law told me to order this drink she always gets at Starbucks ...so I  say what the heck it is my Birthday I will treat  myself ....

"Venti Caramel Frappuccino Lite with whipped cream +protein & energy"

Then Starbucks gave it to me free for my Birthday ...Love getting presents !!! 
                                                         It makes you feel Special !
                                    Oh I also stopped at Target and got me a lil gift .....



                              I ended Back at Bj's for Dinner with my husband , Rick
                                                  and our friends Pete & Joyce ...
                                                     Pete making funny faces as usual .....
Joyce's Birthday is also on 4-19 and we didn't see each other last year on our Birthday so this year we decided to celebrate together for dinner ....
For dinner  I had a Gluten free Pizza ...I figured I already had wings may as well go for the Pizza.
They even brought out a Pizookie...
gluten-free chocolate chip cookie topped with a scoops of vanilla bean ice cream and served in its own deep dish.
The staff sung Happy Birthday to Joyce & I ....
                                                  I gave my husband the ice cream on top 
                                                and of course I ate all the cookie part ...Yum!
                                                      Joyce stuck with just ice cream....
I had a really nice Birthday  ....

I was surprised by a unexpected Birthday wish from a celebrity chef that I follow and communicate on Facebook and blogs !
Devin Alexander -she also The Biggest Loser Chef of 4 Cookbook Series plus a few Diet books of her own .
I first started following her back in 2007 when she did a show called "Healthy Decadence"
It was a great show with a focus  on how to  cut the fat in your favorite dishes without sacrificing flavor.
She was over weight as a teen  and on that show she gave  all her tips on how she cooked recipes to help her shed over 100 + lbs ....  
& now I watch her on her new show called America's Chef on tour . 

The next day I went to support my friend Linda at the Relay for life  Cancer Walk.
All the teams had to come in a theme ....My friend's team did  GREASE as their theme and they were the Pink Ladies !
                                  Linda made crafts to sell at the event ...she is so talented ....
     there was decorative  wine glasses, bracelets,mugs and photo frames  etc....
                                               Other teams that I thought was pretty cool ...
                                                                    Ghost Busters !!!!
                                            I liked Tinker Bell Hut shelter ....too cute !
                    I like all the  Fairy  and  they even had a Bubble machine going ......

I did my walk and was glad to support a good cause .
Praying for my friend Linda... she is now in the hospital .
She had a pulmonary embolism .
She is such a sweet person .
