Birthdays and bloating

I believe there is a direct correlation between birthdays and bloating. I feel like all I've done this week is eat. It's been a good week!

- On Saturday, Mom kidnapped me to Park Meadows. She and my dad wanted to buy me a FANTASTIC charm bracelet, as well as the first charm. It's a cute litte cake that says "Happy Birthday" on it. While they were soldering the charms (I bought little music notes for it, too), she took me to lunch at Earl's. We split a wedge salad (yum-o) and a seared ahi sandwich (also, yum-o, and -rific as well).

- When we got home, Q surprised me with polenta and blue cheese from the Urban Pantry, TWO bottles of my favorite white wine (Villa Rosa Moscato d'Asti), a bottle each of Walnut oil and Strawberry Balsamic vinegar from the new EVOO Marketplace downtown, and a varietal box of cupcakes from my FAVORITE cupcake place (Yum Yums).

- Went to dinner at Mom and Dad's. Ate Elfo's spaghetti (shrimp, garlic, mushrooms, green onions, and pasta, basically) and polished off the cupcakes and one of the bottles of wine.

- Sunday, went to brunch at my Grandma's, then went to Cheesecake Factory with Jess and Dorie. We split everything, and STILL waddled out of there.

- Today we decided to use my free burger from Red Robin. Had the chicken caprese sandwich(sounds better than it is... opt for the Bruschetta Chicken. This is what I regularly order, and FAR prefer). Stupid bottomless steak fries get me EVERY time. :-(

So now I'm sooooo bloated. I feel like all I've done for a week is eat. Weight Watchers should be interesting on Saturday! *sobs*
