Happy Sunday all! We had a FANTASTIC weekend kicking off The Husband’s Birthday celebration…His birthday isn’t until Monday, but, he pretty much is convinced it’s his Birthday week 
It was completely AWESOME to take this weekend off and completely unplug from everything ~ I really needed it and it helped me to realize a few things I’ve been pondering for a few months now. But, more on that coming up this week!
Ok, so I wasn’t really planning on “un-plugging” that much, but, I am without my DROID now until Tuesday since their latest update made it crash :/ I never realized I’d be so sad to be without my phone, yet, at the same time….how sad is that that I am sad over my phone LOL….makes, sense, right?
I guess the brighter side of that is that it didn’t happen on vacation and I get a NEW phone free of charge!
* WEEKEND HIGHLIGHT *
We celebrated The Husband’s birthday with my family on Saturday night because he asked my Mom/Dad to have a “Poker Night” at the casinos with my Dad!
We started off at Outback Steakhouse. Have you all seen their new ONLINE NUTRITIONAL CALCULATOR?! It’s really cool because you can customize your meal including leaving butter off your vegetables, etc to get the stats ~ LOVE THAT!
I could’ve had my salad without cheese or croutons, but, I LOVE them so I left them.
I ALWAYS get their FAT FREE Tangy Tomato on the side…it’s like a spicy French and completely delicious!
I managed to eat only 1 slice of bread too – SCORE!
I added on grilled shrimp onto my entree so The Husband and I could share. I had 3 and he had 2. I think I could eat the entire plate of these spicy cajun shrimp.
Steamed Fresh Veggies without the seasoned butter.
I had a 6 oz sirloin with Teriyaki Sauce for dipping. I am not sure why they had the mustard sauce on the plate, but, everything was so delicious it wasn’t needed.
My entire meal was 15 points and 100% worth EVERY point. I felt good eating it too, not weighed down and proud that I made thought out choices.
My Parents got The Husband the CUTEST card ~ believe it or not, it got him a little choked up 
<3!
SO CUTE ~ I LOVE you Mom & Dad & Jay said he does too
Ummm, yup, I totally stole a few bites of this too
Of course after dinner we headed off to Red Hawk Casino and won some $ had fun! My mom and I ended up letting the boys play poker and escaped to watch The Other Guys. It was totally slapstick funny – I LOVE Will Ferrell – he’s a hoot!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY “EVE” TO MY FAVORITE PERSON IN THE WORLD!!! XOXO
More fun is planned for him this week, but, he doesn’t know that yet 
I can’t wait to see who THE NEXT FOOD NETWORK STAR is tonight!!! Off to watch the show!
Just FOUR days til we head to Florida & The Bahamas……um, but, whose counting
Night all!

Happy Birthday to your hubby!!! Wow, that bread at Outback is like crack bread. How in the world do they make it so sweet and nutty and delicious?
Good for you for limiting to only one piece! That had to have been tough.
What a fun celebration, Happy Birthday to your husband!
And I love when restaurants have nutrition facts online… SO much easier to make an informed decision!

I don’t think I’ve ever been to Outback! Likely because I’ve been a vegetarian for a good chunk of my life. But now that me and Mr. Moo are friends….
Haha that steak looks good!
Fun! I love birthdays and we make such a big deal out of them here, we celebrate all week!
Happy birthday to the hubs!
I went to outback several months ago and yes, I loved the online NI calculator too! I had wedge fries (b/c I knew how much they were) and a low point steak of some sort. Delicious!
We have an outback that is about a 5 min walk from us, but we alwys forget that its there! I am more of a seafood person, so when I check out the online nut. calc, I saw that they do have seafood! We’ll have to check it out.
That was such a sweet card from your parents. And happy birthday week to your husband! I think we should all adopt celebrating one’s bday for a week. Our neighbor did the same thing last week!! I thought it was so funny. I think he literally went out 5 nights out of the 7 LOL!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAY!!!
Looks like you made his birthday a great time.
I know what you mean about that bread at outback! I wonder what kind it actually is? I loveeeee cards. I think thats my favorite thing about birthdays. I collect & save them all!
aw Happy birthday Jay! That card is so sweet. I would have been choked up too!
Sorry about your phone- at least you get a FREE one!
Happiest of birthdays to your hubby!
I love birthday weeks!
