So since what was supposed to be my long run on Saturday totally sucked I ran a few miles on Sunday to make myself feel like all hope was not lost. Much better.
We had a pretty crazy day planned and after my run we went for a short bike ride. We made a detour to the store so I could get some frozen waffles since I am obsessed with these PB&J&B on waffles sammies right now. 
After church we had a quick lunch of leftover pizza. It’s not delivery, it was DiGiornio (did I spell that right?) from yesterday. It was not good the next day! Boo to that, so I just had a couple of bites and let the BF go at it.
I had most of this Lara bar for my lunch.
Then, it was the BF’s B-day extravaganza. Actually, his B-day is not until next Sunday, but we will be on a CRUISE so we celebrated with my fam this weekend!
Here is the lemon cake I made! It turned out sooooooo good. It was the first time I was making a cake from scratch, so I was a little nervous. But, it came out great and the BF was super happy 🙂 I am very proud of myself too!
For dinner we had kabobs, potato salad and corn. I also ate a ton of chips and dip while cooking, socializing and stuff.
The wind would not let the candles stay lit!
Here is a pic of my famous-from-scratch Lemon Cake! Can you tell how excited I am that I didn’t mess this up? Don’t judge me my mom didn’t teach me to even boil water so any thing I do well in the kitchen is against the odds.
I also ate some other bites of potato salad and chicken and a bunch of fruit salad – no pics. I was a ditz I guess. Sorry. But, overall the event was a success!
So anyways, did you catch that I mentioned we are going on a Cruise?
It’s just one of those 3 day cruises where we leave Friday and come back super early Monday. But, it’s the first cruise for both of us and we are really excited. I hadn’t mentioned it before because it was supposed to be a surprise for the BF’s b-day, but he had already guessed it and I tried to keep it a secret, but I knew he knew. So, I printed out the itinerary and gave it to him today. At least now I can talk about it on the blog! I wanted to post right away after I made the reservations because I was thinking, “How the heck am I going to stay on track on a cruise with all the delicious and free food they have?” Help!
I’ll be back in a bit. Have a good one 🙂
Thanks ladies! I was super excited about making a cake from scratch. I guess all that watching the Food Network pays off!
Lighter, you’re right how the heck does delivery still taste so good next day?
Frozen pizza is just never good the next day eh? I don’t get it, how do those darn delivery pizzas make theirs still taste good the next day? Sigh.
The cake looks great though! And good job on a successful first. Homemade cakes are always so great. I love making them for family members’ birthdays, even if I’m definitely no cake expert.
A three day cruise is exciting! Have a great time and take lots of pics!
The lemon cake looks great! Looks like you did a great job and it probably meant even more ’cause you made it yourself…from SCRATCH! Uh, yeah, I didn’t even know for a long time that cakes didn’t have to come from a box! Good job!
Wonderful job on the cake! It looks delish. 🙂
Hey! I found your blog today and started reading, great job with the cake! Its looks delicious:]
