BBQ Sandwiches and Pinky Promises

I think you should probably enter my GIVEAWAY if you haven't already.  All the cool kids are doing it.

Thank you all for the birthday week wishes, my testimony of us being best friends grew even more because all of you understand how important it is to celebrate the whole birthday week if not the entire month of your birthday.

Billy, had present #1 out in the living room when I got home from school.  Yes, it is wrapped in Sports Illustrated magazine pages.  Who buys wrapping paper these days?

I am the queen at guessing what presents are when they are still wrapped but with this one I am completely baffled and I have to wait until SUNDAY to open it.

I didn't even give him my usual gift list with the top 50 things that I want this year so I really have no idea what it could be.

Present #2 arrived at around 6 p.m.  It was delivered to our house and Billy made me pinky promise to not look out the window while he took it from the front porch to the car to take it to his brothers house.  It was the hardest 240 seconds of my life but I have never broken a pinky promise, those things are sacred.

Q.  Why must he store my present at his brother's house?

A.  I am a 5 year old and he knows that during his Thursday evening lab when I am home alone I would have torn through the house in pursuit of finding out what my present is.

Billy has something up his sleeves.

Dinner tonight was brought to you buy costco.  Costco chicken breasts (baked in the oven and then shredded), Costco cheese, Costco bbq sauce, Costco bread and Costco broccoli.  If only we had a Costco bag of trail mix to go along with dinner for me to pick out all the M&M's.  Billy stopped buying trail mix years ago because I guess it is cheaper to just buy a bag of nuts because that is all he would get from the mix after I picked through it.

P.S. Please warn me if you have any bachelor spoilers on your blog.  As you know I am obsessed with the show and I look forward to watching it with every fiber of my being Tuesday's after school.  You may tell me in the comments whether you loved it or hated it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you pick through trail mix or do you honor the purpose of the mix and just grab a handful?

-M&M's, dried fruit and raisins do not stand a chance in a room alone with me.

Do you like being surprised with presents or would you rather pick it out yourself?

-I LOVE to be suprised but at the same time I love trying to figure out what it is.  I might have to break into the bro-in-laws house, the suspense is killing me.

What is your FAVORITE method to eat veggies?

-My favorite is during the summer when we grill them but I usually toss them in olive oil and cook them for 20 minutes at 400 degrees (aka roasting).  I love dipping them in bbq sauce/ketchup/ranch/salsa....you name it.  I am a weird woman, but you already knew that.

I am thinking the present might be a puppy. If you could choose any type of puppy what would you get?

-I would LOVE to get a chocolate lab or a little white fluffy poodle.
