birthday treats

For some reason we ended up at Panera's Bread again for my birthday brunch this year

Of course I had to save room for my favorite cookie - the red velvet crinkle

We roamed around downtown and ended up at St. Lawrence Market - look what we found?? 
  
 We will have to do this for the Holidays next year with Ritu!!

Had a nice dinner with my family - and an awesome cookies-n-creme ice cream cake, even though it was slightly melted!

Little pick-me-ups



I know I was supposed to be shopping for gifts but that's when I came across these deals... a lip butter for 4 bucks and nail polishes 3 for 5 dollars... Plus some of these will probably find a new home as part of a gift... hence my purchase of yet another bunch of nail polishes are justified!!
