Salmon, Best Friends and a Shelf

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes....you really are my bestest friends and your sweet words made my heart get warm and fuzzy.

I had an amazing first run on my treadmill yesterday....seriously, I am already addicted.

Billy finally tore me away from my new toy to go to dinner.

Come visit us and I will take you to this restaurant (La Jolla Grove) and you can enjoy the gorgeous view with me k.....

We started with Spinach Artichoke Dip and it was amazing. The bread was buttery and toasty, my favorite. Oh and there were about a jillion rolls....didn't you know on your birthday you are supposed to eat a roll for each year of life. I can't wait until I turn 100.

We heard amazing things about the Salmon and so 5 out of 6 of us got it and it was ridiculously good. The sauce was some sort of cilantro pesto thing and I could have drank it.

FREE DESSERT is the best part of birthdays right.  There was some crazy awesome vanilla bean ice cream underneath all of those bright berries.  It was my bff's Megan's b-day too and we both licked our desserts plate clean.

Megan is the girl in the middle.  Um, don't worry about it she just made the dancing team for Cirque du Soleil in Vegas, she is famous.  She is also a crazy awesome runner and we will be doing a half marathon together in thirteen days!! Anyone else doing Dog Town 1/2 Marathon?

My cutest bro-in-law and sis-in-law came....they are the BEST!! They bought me a little shelf to put up above the treadmill.  Now, all of my hours of tv watching of The Bachelor and The Biggest Loser will be done in the comfort of my sneakers and tempo shorts.  Did I tell you that you can watch the course at the same time you are running it?!?!

After din-din we went to the dollar theatre of course and watched, 'Fair Game.'  It was good but I was confused half the time....at least I had a bag of Sour Patch Kids to entertain me;)  Came home and watched another 23 episodes of Arrested Development.

P.S. I may or may not be tackling the Boston Hills on the treadmill before church today.  I will listen to church music:)
