I started my day by sleeping in late and eating 5 pieces of chocolate cake...hahaha or I got up at 4:50 and went and ran a mile and took body pump ;)! It was a wonderful way to start the day. I came home and worked a half day then headed into the office for a meeting. On the way I stopped and got a non fat pumpkin spice misto= INCREDIBLE! Love the new starbucks cups:
When I got home, I had a bundle of wonderful cards and such waiting for me. My mom had sent me some money. I used some of it right away to buy a sweet No Meat Athlete t! Josh's mom sent me an incredible package of some trader joe's goodies:
A starbucks gift card, some cute shirts, and this awesome platter (its a leaf plate with three removal flower bowls):
I used the platter for din din (since Josh got home late...we decided just to do dinner at home and do dinner out later this week). I had jicama rounds with salsa and pinto bean dip, fresh tomato, and cantaloupe (with a ton of unpictured nut butter):
Josh had a meatloaf sammy (not pictured), a potato with buffalo chicken, cheese, broccoli, and buffalo sauce:

Did you catch Top Chef last night??? They need to stop kicking off all of the girls!
Happy Belated Birthday! I totally meant to comment yesterday, I thought of you though! :D And it's the thought that counts, right??
Looking like you scored some awesome bday goodies - I borrowed a polar HR monitor from my running store electronic library once and I loved it, I'm sure you will too.
Sorry I'm so late, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
September 2nd is a good date to be born on :)
My bday was yesterday too - happy birthday!! Sounds like you had the perfect celebration!
Aw, happy belated birfday!!! Sorry it was a meh day but you did get some bombin' goodies. I will just wait and see what you do for your REAL b-day dinner celebration! This weekend sounds like a good opportunity to me. :)
Great gifts and dishes!
Please have a happy birthday evening!
You just keep gett'in better!
Happy Birthday! Sorry to hear it was just an okay day. The amount of time I get to spend with my husband on that tends to directly affect my bday too. :) It's no fun when they get home late.
I love it when you share your gifts and mail. What awesome gifts! I need to learn more about that coffee cup. Let us know if it works!
Happy Birthday!
You will LOVE your Contigo mug. I have one and it keeps things warm or cold for HOURS.
Sorry your day wasn't perfecto, but it sounds pretty lovely. I love all of your gifts! You are going to LOVE your HRM. I have a Polar, too... it works best if you strap it REALLY tightly, and stick it under your sports bra. Weird but true.
Hey! Happy belated bday!! Hope you had a wonderful day and you def scored w/ those awesome presents! :-)
Awww happy birthday again! Love all the treats you got..very Itzy! Ha ha.
you're bday sounds like a great one!!
Happy Bday!
Great gifts! I love the platter. And the TJ items! Those beluga lentils are really good in lentil salads.
Happy Birthday! The coffee mug is great, and heart rate training is so much fun. You'll learn so much about your training and fitness level.
I shipped your shirts today! And I threw in a little extra surprise for you. Consider it a birthday present!
happy birthday! sorry i missed it :)

Woohoo! I'm so so sorry that I missed the boat on announcing your birthday. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY ERICA! I'd shout it to the world if I could ;o) I'm sorry that your day was just so-so but it looks like you received some amazing gifts. Love that Polar HRM and the fact that Josh clearly knows you VERY well! Let the birthday celebrations continue into the weekend - you deserve 100% of the attention!
