so this weekend

my birthday was saturday

 i spent the morning pampering myself 

massage facial hair blow out 

then

 home 

to 

literally do nothing

 we ordered in dinner from island burgers and shakes

 i love

 the churasco

(chicken sandwiches)

 the fries are amazing

 also some grilled asparagus

 delish 

toonman had a burger 

he also baked me a cake

 you know

 i think you know

 we bake cakes from mixes on our birthdays 

i mean

 on his i bake him a cake

 on mine he bakes me a cake

 usually

 and by usually 

i mean

 for the past 37 or so years

 its been chocolate with chocolate icing

 earlier in the week

 toonman asked me

 what kind of cake i might like

 i was surprised

 because

 really

 he's never asked before

 i said

 i would think about it 

on my way home wednesday

 i think it was wednesday

 i stopped at fairway

 thinking they'd have

 a 

larger

 greater

 more varied

 selection of cake mixes

 than

 westside market

 wrong

 nevertheless 

i spotted a carrot cake mix

 intrigued

 i looked to see what the icing selection offered

 hello 

cream cheese icing 

of course

 i bought them

 even tho the icing was very soft loose

 toonman managed to get the cake iced nicely

 okay 

so it wasn't a cake you'd post a photo of on pinterest 

but

 it was yummy

 lets face it

 cakes should be tasty 

not 

necessarily

 photo op worthy

i think 

someone else

 on the block

 is 

celebrating 

on sunday

 my sister and i 

trekked 

downtown

 to have lunch with our friend judy 

we went to a place called southwestny

its on the corner of albany and south end avenue in battery park city 

the food was good

the company was even better
