I made Ben birthday pancakes for breakfast. Putting sprinkles on anything makes it 100x more fun!
After I made him breakfast I ran the mile to the gym and did some strength work. I walked back and a crossing guard insisted on helping me cross the street and telling me to “look both ways!”. Ha! I felt like a dork
The run, gym, walk takes too long and I need to start eating before I go. By the time I was eating breakfast I had been up over 2.5 hours and am overly hungry.
Sadly, I am not giving Ben what he said he wanted for his birthday (hint – it’s bigger than a bread box and has to be squeezed outta my…)
But, I’m planning a nice evening and making a coconut cake per his request (cake > babies, no?).
I bought us tickets to go Whale Watching and wanted to go tonight but I didn’t realize until too late that he would have had to get off work early. So, we’re doing that next week and tonight we’re going out to dinner.
Last year I took donuts to his work as a b-day surprise, but since he’s at a newish job I don’t think he wants to be embarrassed just yet.
Fun Friday Fideos!
In my dream life I am a travel blogger and get to see the world and vlog about it. Look at this amazing plane that goes from Bangkok to Hong Kong. I die…
Is it Casual Friday at your work?
Question: What are your weekend plans?

Sierra @ Posh Meets Pavement says
We upgraded to first class on the Emirates A380 on our way back from our honeymoon and it was AMAZING! Once in a lifetime experience…pure luxury.
Floey says
Happy Bday to Ben! Man, remember when Disneyland was free to CA residents on their Bdays!! haha
Stephanie says
Happy birthday to Ben! And cake is so much easier to take care of than babies! (but easier to make? inappropriate? Whoops? :P)
Sue says
Happy Birthday Ben!
Meghan P says

Maria B says
I can’t even believe that plane!! We are canning tomatoes tomorrow and I have a 9 mile training run on Sunday. Happy B-day to your hubby. 🙂

simone says
I live in Vancouver, BC and this looks like it might be the last warm weekend for a long time so my plans include some beach time, some out door runs, BBQing and hanging out with friends before the rain sets in!
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles says
Sprinkles are appropriate on everything 🙂
Happy birthday Ben!
JessicaE says
It took me a long time to want a baby as well. 🙂 And then one day I woke up and just wanted one so much, lucky for my husband 😀 Now I have a beautiful 6 week old son.
If it isn’t too personal to ask, do you ever want kids?
runeatrepeat says
Congrats on your son!!! Yes, I want kids I just have so much going on right now I know I would have to scale back and I don’t want to just yet.
Can I ask how it’s going with a 6 week old? How do you feel? What’s your day like?
Lacey @ familyfitnessandfoodery says
You should offer him the next best thing … practicing for baby making. I did that for 3 years with Hubs and it worked like a charm. Its still the same amount of fun!!
Working on the house and doing my long run this weekend. Probably a Nertz championship somewhere in there if we can manage.
runeatrepeat says
You are a genius.
Nicole (Apples and Arteries) says
Happy Bday Ben.
I wish casual Friday was replaced with yoga pants Friday!
Lauren says
Happy Birthday Ben!!
Fiona @ Get Fit Fiona says
Happy birthday Ben!
Tonight is a date night with the boyfriend, tomorrow night I’m hanging out with a friend before she has surgery, and Sunday is all about taking it easy.
SkinnyRunner says

Amber K says
Happy Birthday to Ben!
No exciting weekend plans for me, but hopefully that just means it’ll be a nice relaxing weekend.
Heather says
You are a good wife! And I want to fly on that plane!
Stephanie says
OH, Ben’s birthday breakfast looks so good!!
Sheila says
Happy Birthday to your hubz. And is it casual Friday? I dunno. I just showed up to a meeting in my sweaty spandex after running 4 miles, walking 1.5 and then taking a HIIT & strength training class at the gym. I guess that’s pretty casual eh?
Sharsti says
Ben and I share a Birthday! No birthday breakfast for me, but he did come home for lunch and brought me all my favorite things=)
runeatrepeat says
Happy Birthday!!!
Krissy says
I love the sprinkle pancakes! Too cute!

Heather @ Run Eat Play says
Happy Birthday, Ben! And spinkles do make everything better! Hope you guys have a great day!
Kathy says
On hubs 40th I had 40 balloons delivered in a bouquet to his work…he and the women in his office LOVED it. He’s 47 now….Hmmmm, I will have to start thinking about what to do for his 50th!
Happy Birthday Will…I mean Ben!!
The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh says
“Last year I took donuts to his work as a b-day surprise, but since he’s at a newish job I don’t think he wants to be embarrassed just yet.” Oh um, so I shouldn’t have had my hubby fake arrested at his 2 week old job when he was 21? Oops!! 🙂
NO plans this weekend thank goodness! Starting next weekend we’re booked every weekend through the end of the year so I’m gonna enjoy it!
runeatrepeat says
Ahhh! I cannot believe you did that!
K says
Haha, I put sprinkles in my pancakes too. Hubby is weirded out by this for some reason. :-/ *shrug*
Sana says
Happy Birthday Ben!!! #teamnobabies
