The last year in my THIRTIES!! :s

I just realized that Blogger got a new format.  I think it's probably been here for awhile but I just noticed.  There's even a spellcheck!! YAY!! :) Well, I turned 39 on May 27th. I can't believe this is my last year in my thirties.  I remember how old I felt when I turned 21! HA! I think I felt younger in my 30's than in my 20's...strange, I know. Anyway, on my actual birthday, we had our sister lunch that we always have.  I chose the Terrace restaurant, which is my favorite!! The chicken terrace is AMAZING!! It has this yummy cream cheese sauce in the middle of it. :) I also made my own birthday cake....red velvet by the Pioneer Woman. I can't make it very much because it's just too tempting...like an alcoholic having alcohol in the house.  I seriously will eat it all day long!! I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that cake!!!
 
Here we are at the Terrace. :)
 
Lamar surprised me with this cute little bag and this wonderful salad bowl. I love the green! He has heard me say through the years that I don't have a salad bowl and tongs so when he saw this green bowl, he got it for me.  I thought that was really sweet. 
 
I have to admit, though, this was my favorite present from him!!!
 
HOW YUMMY ARE THESE????!!!! DELICIOUS!! Cupcakes on Kavanaugh!
This is my sista's present to me...I took a picture of the wrapping because it is so me! I love how there is a fingernail file on the ribbon.  That fingernail file is supposed to last forever. I am so glad I have it because I put it in my purse to replace the tiny ones that didn't last long at all...like not even one fingernail long. :)
Does my sista know me well or what?! HA! :) A cupcake plate with "yummy" written underneath it. :) She gave it to me right after we went walking. We walk 5 miles almost every single day. We both LOVE food and so we have to, especially now that we are getting older.

My friend since 7th grade, Heather, wrote me this sweet letter for my birthday. :) She wrote me the funniest poem on it. :) She's so creative! This was at our Ladies Group (LG) at Heather's house a few days before my birthday.  It was our last LG for the summer. :(

Renee, Heather, me, and Hannah....My NLR friends and LG friends took me to Cantina Laredo for my birthday.  I chose that place because they have such good Sprites.  :)
Sweet friends, Alicia, Sherry, Lana, and Amy. :)
Heather made me this book of memories in drawings!!! It is seriously the best present I have ever received in my life!!! It meant and still does mean the world to me!! She spent hours upon hours working on this book.  I laughed hysterically reading/looking at it, which was another gift.  There's nothing I love more than laughter!! I don't even know what I got to eat because I was laughing and looking at that book all through dinner.  After I got home that night, I showed Macy and Lamar and we all read every page and laughed hysterically, too. It was so fun to go back and remember some of our fun memories through the last 27 years!
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I have told this story before but I'll tell it again....Charlie Bear was not being very nice to our next door neighbor dog when we lived in Monroe.  I had a talk with him one day about how the Bible says to love your neighbor and after that, Charlie Bear was sweet to the dog next door.  Of course, I am always telling people this story so Heather drew a picture of it...making fun of me!!! LOL! :)
All my sweet NLR friends are always laughing at me because I am always saying, "such and such is the best EVER!!!" I guess I feel passionately about the things I love and everything in my book is the best EVER!! Anyway, Heather drew me a page of all my favorites EVER. :)
This one makes me laugh so hard, just like all the other ones!!  Oh gosh, what a day! Lamar and I have MANY dental stories together...some are hysterical! Sometimes Lamar and I don't do so well at the office while he is working on me.  When we're working together, we do fine but when he's working on me, we sometimes don't do so well. This was one of those days! :) At the time it wasn't funny but looking back, I laugh so hard!  Poor Lamar, he has his hands full with me.  I do have to say that I have my hands full with him, too! When I met him, I met my match!!! :) No pun intended (actually, pun is intended).  We met on christianmatchmaker.com and they matched me with someone just like me!!!  I didn't realize what a hand full I was until I met someone just like me in a male version! HA! :)  
I love these girls!! There is nothing like friends who are there no matter what through thick and thin! One thing that is special about these girls is that they are SUPER honest.  What you see is what you get.  There are no masks here...just the real deal.

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Show us where you live Friday.....the Kitchen

Most of you probably read Kelly's blog . She is so much fun! Well, she is hosting a "Show us where you Live Friday" and this week is the kitchen edition. I am excited about this because I absolutely LOVE looking at houses and decor....it's so much fun and can really show someones personality. I just love to see how others express themselves through decorating. While I really do love my kitchen, it is the room I am looking forward to redoing the very most. My future plans are to take down the wallpaper and paint, paint the ceiling, redo the cabinets (probably really dark wood), paint the island black, take down the florescent light fixture above the island and replace with something a little more up to date, and replace the curtains. I think the previous owners did a great job decorating it but I would rather it be more my personality. I spend A LOT of time in my kitchen and I really enjoy it!! When my mom and dad moved, they gave me their big round table that seats...

Mar and I didn't go to church this morning. :( We hate to miss. We woke up about 8:30, talked a little bit, prayed a little bit and then the next thing we know, it's 10:30!!! We must have really needed the sleep. We leave for church at 10:40 so there was no way we were going to make it. It felt wonderful to sleep in, though. We can alway watch the service on the Internet. After Rosie got home from church, we went and picked her up and took her to Wendy's to eat (we all really wanted Franke's but it was packed...at 1:45!) and then we headed to Party City where I got plates for Bunco (it's at my house on Thursday) and then we went to Garden Ridge and got a fake plant and a chair (for $99). The chair we were going to get was WAY more than that and a lot prettier but the one at Garden Ridge did the job fine and with no guilt for spending too much money on a beautiful chair. It is SO MUCH FUN to shop with Rosie...SO MUCH FUN!!! I hate to shop without her because she make...
