Face of 38

Yesterday I celebrated my 38th Birthday! Sunday I ran the NYC Half Marathon, so I spent Monday during the day doing not much of anything. I did sit on the couch, watched television and tried to knit a little while enduring the sweltering heat. Last night however, DB took me out for a nice dinner celebration.

Me before heading out in the 90 degree weather.

DB and I laughing while trying to get a good picture. He does try to be patient with me 'cause he doesn't like having his picture taken.

Dinner and dessert was at Max Brenner's in Union Square. As soon as you walk through the door you can smell the chocolate.

We did indulge in Chocolate Martini's. Mine had Peppermint Schnapps in it. I might have eaten both the candy slices too. :-)

Most people come here just for dessert, but the food was delicious too! We left with both out belly's sticking out.

DB surprised me with a Polar Heart Rate Monitor! This will get so much use with all my runs. He also bought me the tin you see here. At dinner your bill comes inside this tin. I made the comment how much I liked it and could use it for knitting notions. After dinner, we went into the Candy Shop and he bought it for me. I was like a little kid I was so excited over it.

Thank you to DB and everyone else who helped make the day feel special!

  5. What a terrific birthday!

    The only thing wrong with your description of is the fact that blog posts don't have smell-and-taste options. :) Mmmmm....chocolate...

  6. That chocolate place looks so good. Remember when we would drool over it after Yoga class, but were too "healthy" to even risk the temptation? I am so happy that you got to experience the place. Happy Birthday!! Oh yeah, did you say 18??? Cuz 38 just looks like it doesn't match your youthful face. :-) You look beautiful, woman!
