The Birthday Wrap Up

By Courtney 50 Comments

Talk about a nice little birthday present…Jay and the team got a big ‘ol “W” in the book last night!

IMG_6459

IMG_6460

And Jay even got his second “win” as a pitcher. WOOO! Happy Birthday to YOU, Jay!

IMG_6454

As always, the somewhat loyal fans were there to support and cheer them on. You may also notice Creeper Mike in the background…remember him from my mom’s birthday party?

IMG_6462

Apparently everyone was trying to creep in and photo bomb last night…thanks, mom!

IMG_6463

After the game, we headed out for a little tailgating, which I have missed so much this year. If you were reading last summer, then you already know that tailgating after the games was pretty much my favorite thing to do. This year, it’s been pretty minimal. Sad smile

IMG_6464

So I was pretty excited to be hanging out last night, even if it wasn’t my own softball game (that’s tonight). I enjoyed one piece of pizza, which I probably removed at least half of the cheese from. It’s been years since I last had Pizza Hut pizza but I don’t ever remember it being so cheesy??? Give me extra sauce and less cheese any day.

IMG_6466

Of course, it was a birthday and all…

IMG_6465

My in-laws generously provided both the pizza and the birthday cake to share with the team, and the cake was absolutely incredible. (For those of you who are local, it came from Zachary’s in East Greenbush- I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad cake from there!)

I savored every last bite of my piece in an effort to not go back for another. Winking smile

IMG_6468

Overall, I think Jay had a pretty good birthday!

*****

This morning, I woke up and headed down to the treadmill. I completed 38 minutes of an absolutely, crazy-intense workout which I will be sharing with you all later on after I type it up. Whew, it was a good one!

Breakfast

IMG_6476

I was feeling savory this morning, so I toasted two pieces of whole wheat bread and topped them off with 2 egg whites, a slice of provolone cheese, and a couple tomato slices with some salt and pepper.

This breakfast really hit the spot!

IMG_6475

Of course, you can’t forget about the ketchup under there too. Winking smile

IMG_6477

For the past five minutes, I’ve actually been enjoying this breakfast while sitting at my computer and watching Cody decide whether or not he really wants to sit in the window…

IMG_6472

Or just play with the cord from the blinds.

IMG_6471

He just recently decided neither and is now laying, belly up, right next to me. What a ham!

Questions for the morning time!

WOULD YOU RATHER…

  • Be 3 feet taller -OR- 3 feet shorter? (<—I’ll go taller…better views)
  • Eat a stick of butter -OR- a gallon of ice cream? (<—gimme ice cream, baby!)
  • Go without television -OR- junk food for the rest of your life? (tough one…I’ll say go without junk food. Chocolate isn’t junk food, right?)

    3 feet taller for sure, bring on the ice cream, and let's ditch the junk food! (I'm pretty sure I couldn't live without televised football.)

    1. 3 feet taller for sure. But I don't mean "for sure" as in "that would be totally awesome." Because it wouldn't be. 2. Oh my God, my stomach literally churns at the thought of eating a gallon of ice cream. Thanks a lot, Crohn's. You ROCK. (sike) 3. As much as I love watching the train wreck that is Teen Mom, I love eating french fries more.

    Id have to go with taller, although 8'5" sounds kinda scary, at least I could reach everything without a stepladder (I fall off of mine a lot - I'm a klutz). I do know someone that would maybe choose the stick of butter, but that person IS NOT ME! Okay, #3 is too hard. TOO hard. But like Gabriella said above, if I could watch TV shows on my computer, then I'd give the actual television! I"m the total opposite of you in the pizza department - just cover the crust in sauce, then PILE ON THE CHEESE PLEASE! Can't wait to see the treadmill workout! Just did one of yours for the first time last week and I loved it!

    Hmm...question answering time! 1- shorter. If you're too tall all hemlines are way too short. At least if you're a little shrimp you can just bring hemlines up. 2- Ice Cream. Definitely. The thought of eating an entire stick of butter makes me want to gag! 3- Bye bye junk food. I can't imagine life without television--which is probably a bad thing, lol.

    My red sauce obsession has hit a new high this summer. And my cheese ambivalence has remained the same. Hence why I can't wait to make that veggie stack recipe you re-posted yesterday...RED SAUCE!!!!!! Pizza Hut is one of those "enjoy once a year" type foods. :)

    I haven't had Pizza Hut pizza in forever! I, too, am a sauce > cheese girl. What kind of cake is that?! It looks heavenly. I'd rather be 3 feet taller, eat a gallon of ice cream (even eating one forkful of butter makes me want to gag) and live without junkfood. Chocolate is TOTALLY not a junk food - it has antioxidants for Heaven's sake!

    Oh man, I'd take taller which means I can eat more without it affecting me so much, so I'd really enjoy a gallon of cookies n' cream ice cream and give up TV - giving up TV doesn't mean giving up renting movies, and most shows wind up on DVD anyway, and then when I'd watch them, no commercials or anything! Yep, I would totally keep the junk food that I could eat with abandon if I were 8 feet tall and just watch DVDs!
