Weekly Chronicles: Birthday Weekend

KayLynn · August 3, 2014 · 4 Comments

birthday-celebration

My husband’s birthday was Friday and we’re making it a three day celebration.  He kicked it off with a free birthday meal at Denny’s followed by a dinner party last night and a beach outing today.

We spent the week getting the house ready, planning the meal and buying the groceries.  To top it off he wanted something I’d never cooked before.  Above is my first prime rib.  It turned out pretty good if I say so myself.

It was a fun evening with conversation, food and, at least for me, wine!

Around the Web

Here are some of my favorite posts since the last edition two weeks ago.

Coffee Cake and Cardio shares tips for attending your first spin class.  This is something I want to try and armed with these I will do it soon.

I didn’t know about Verizon Messages app until reading about it at Let’s Walk and Talk.  Installing it on my iPad now.

This Paprika chicken with green beans recipe from Keep it Up David looks delicious and easy.

Cranky Fitness has an interesting guest post on if you should eat carbs or not.

She’s talking about underwear over at Roni’s Weigh and I can’t wait to hear if she finds the solution.  For now, I have panty lines.

Here are some of my favorite giveaways this week.
