My Birthday!

I turned 28 yesterday!  I had a fantastic day.  Here's how it went down.

*Woke up and relaxed around the apartment for awhile

 *Opened my present from Marc

*Went to Massage Envy for an hour massage

*Opened my present to myself that happened to come in the mail

Leaf necklace from Etsy.com.  Love this site!! 

Went to The Oceanaire for my birthday dinner

Walked to the W Hotel and had a few drinks

The W Hotel's little river was right at our feet

My handsome guy



Jason Biggs from American Pie



A few weeks ago Marc and I saw Tara Ried too.  The cast of American Pie is staying a block away from our apartment at the W while they film the reunion movie.  Needless to say, I will be returning to the W to see who I can see!



Settled in Atlanta

I've been in Atlanta for a little over a week now.  I am finally settled and feel like I am on summer vacation. I feel like I finally have a routine or just free time to do as I please.  Take today for example...woke up, went to Borders and to Whole Foods or as  http://fitnessista.com/ would say, Whole Paycheck.  Spent $93! Yikes!  I don't even know what I bought for $93! I did pick up these lovely gems.

I love fresh flowers!  They were only $9.99.  I love how all the colors compliment each other. Fresh flowers make me smile : )  This picture was taken using the FREE Instagram iphone app.  I love it.  Makes taking pictures more fun!


After Whole Foods, I went to Old Navy.  Old Navy is usually a hit or miss kind of store for me.  Today it was a HIT!   Most of the clothes were on the clearance rack (yay). I mostly bought clothes for the new school year. I also went to Marshalls, which was a miss.


Afterward all that running around, I was starved so I ate lunch and headed to the pool.  I am STILL reading Gone with the Wind.  I have about 700 pages left (OMG).  The book is excellent and I feel like I am finally finding time to sit down and read a significant amount of pages at once.


I also found time to do 35 minutes of cardio at the gym and cook a yummy dinner.  Last night, I made a balsamic roasted pork loin, which was delicious. ( I had a teeny tiny bit)  http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/balsamic-roasted-pork-loin/detail.aspx   For tonight's dinner, I reheated left over pork loin and made a spinach salad for Marc.  I had grilled veggies, a Sunshine burger, and some of the salad. 
The salad consisted of:  spinach
                                    sunflower seeds
                                    yellow and red tomatoes
                                    goat cheese crumbles
                                    red onion
                                    balsamic dressing

Very good!

Well that's a wrap.  I'm exhausted and off to bed shortly.
