My Birthday Week in Review

Whew - it's been a jam-packed week! I...

  • Turned 24.
  • Witnessed the return of the pickle-o at Sonic. Oh they were heavenly.
  • Got to eat at my absolute favorite BBQ place on Earth - Jim's BBQ. It's in the middle of nowhere in Highway 82 in Alabama. It's just about exactly halfway between The University of Alabama and Auburn University, so half of it is decorated in Alabama gear and half is in Auburn. It is SOOO good.

  • Went to Montgomery to eat a delicious birthday dinner with my husband.
  • Got some pretty flowers in the process from said husband.
  • Got a TON of my classroom decorating stuff done, including all of my leaves (I'll explain later) and curtains!
  • Watched my dog get stuff stuck to his nose in the process.
  • Ate some more awesome food at Nick's in the Sticks in Tuscaloosa. When they say "in the sticks," they mean it - it's in the middle of nowhere and if I took you there you would probably look at my like I was crazy. But it is awesome and they're famous for their fillets in Tuscaloosa.
This is the inside of the restaurant. And when I say the inside, I mean this is it. It's tiny and looks like a shack.


BUT...you get this there. Delicious, and I don't even like steaks!
  • Saw The Hangover with my husband - hi-lar-i-ous.
  • Watched my husband bring my dog his new favorite toy.

(He's such a good dad ) :)

So there you have it...my birthday week 2009 will go down as a busy one! And one full of good food. WAAAYYY too much good food.

Hope your weekend was just as great as my week! :)

Happy Birthday! Glad you had fun! We have those kinds of restaurants in the sticks in Arkansas. Some of the best food ever though.

Ok, I found you through McMama, and I just HAVE to comment on this post for at least 3 reasons...
1) It's MY birthday week too! (Happy birthday buddy! ;))
2) I am ALSO a teacher and have been working on classroom decor fr the past 2 weeks...
3) I LOVE LOVE LOVE stationary too!
Ok, and 4...I love how most of your joyful birthday moments entail something along the lines of food. Awesome! ;) :P

So, with all we have in common, I just couldn't help but say HELLO, nice to meet you. :D
