I had a great birthday weekend. Friday night we went to Manchester High School’s Singin’ in the Rain. It was really very good. On Saturday, I went ice skating with Jen V, Jen B and Mandy. Then they took me to the Cheesecake Factory (I had never been!). I had an incredible mushroom mini-pizza and a beet, goat cheese and walnut salad. And of course – White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake! Saturday night was pretty uneventful – grocery shopping and food prepping for my month of vegetarianism. I made falafel and homemade tziziki sauce for lunches this week and I got lots of veggies for all of the yummy things on my menu this week. On Sunday, Ryan and I went to brunch with Ryan and Jen at Harvest in Pomfret. It was delicious, and I took a nice long birthday nap afterwards. Sunday night, Ryan had a gig at Beth El Temple which was full of great music! After dropping the bass off at home, we went to Wood-n-Tap to get burgers and fried cheese. Now, I am ready to start my 30-days of yoga and vegetarianism. I have lots of great plans and I am looking forward to the challenge.

And at work today we had chocolate cake and my co-workers made this great Bday card for me!
