Weekend Recap: Lots of Sports...I'm Exhausted

Monday again...Whomp whomp. 

Today I'm feeling particularly exhausted. Fingers-crossed I haven't picked up one of the bugs that have been going around. Most likely it's just a lot of late nights finally catching up with me.

Seriously can we get an extra day?? This is exactly why being able to freeze time would be the greatest superpower. Don't even try to argue with me about flying...that would be exhausting and you know it.

Anyway....here's the highlight reel:

BRAVES GAME!!!

We had a great time at the game. It was a perfect night game. The weather was great. The food was delish. And the game itself was short and sweet. WIN!

BADGER GAME!!

We finally made it out to the official Badger bar...we were NOT disappointed. We honestly had no idea what to expect. When we got there the Georgia game was wrapping up, and the place was packed with Dawgs fans. Once their game was over the space cleared out a bit. There was a smaller, semi-private bar area where the alumni group met up. We got to meet some new Badgers. Despite the game outcome we had a great time.

New Badger friend!

*it was brought to my attention that the buckeye nut is actually poisonous, however the jury is still out on whether they are poisonous to badgers as well. I suspect they aren't.

BIRTHDAY AND FOOTBALL SUNDAY!

Mike's actual b-day was on Sunday. I woke up bright and early to decorate and set up his surprise:

Yeah it says Buttday. I'm hilarious.

Knowing my husband's Sunday activity preferences, I opted to give him the gift of permission to sit in front of the TV all day.

Coke, chips, trail mix, candy, and.....Madden 25. He was pumped and got to playing ASAP.

Seriously...having fun :)

I told Mike he could pick whatever dessert he wanted, and that I would make it happen. Not surprisingly he asked for funfetti. Since most box mixes have milk or egg products in them, I made an attempt at homemade funfetti and did a pretty good job. Except for one thing....

I totally skipped greasing the pan. Big mistake. In order to get the cake out I had to basically crumble it into a bunch of pieces. 

Deconstructed Funfetti cake...Top Chef eat your heart out.

Moral of the story: when life hands you a pile of cake crumbles...pop them on a cake stand, add some blue frosting, and move on with your day :)

Friday Forecast: Happy Birthday to the Hubster

Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday!

WOOOOO! Can I get an Amen!? Sunday is Mike's b-day, and as a result we have some serious awesomeness planned for this weekend.

First up: Braves Game! I surprised Mike with tickets to tonight's Braves vs. Philles game. He was pumped, and now I'm wearing a Braves shirt to work. Win, win.

We're here to CHOP!

Saturday we are heading out to the UW-Alumni Association's designated game watching bar to see the Badgers take on a Bunch of Nuts. 

 Check out this Source link. Further arguments for the awesomeness that is Buckingham U. Badger.

I'm not sure if badgers actually eat nuts, but they could...because badgers are BA. Need proof? See Exhibit A.

Sunday I have a second surprise planned for Mike, and since he reads this it will have to remain a surprise for you as well.  Details on Monday I guess :)

Have a happy weekend! And also a Happy Birthday (to those that it applies to)!

A Very Happy B-Day & Friday Forecast

WOOOOO Weekend!

This was a pretty easy week for me. Short week. Birthday. And now it's Friday :D

Mike did an awesome job on the bday celebrations yesterday. We met up for lunch. After work he set up a massage for me at my favorite place here in ATL. Then after the massage I can home to this:

Paul Frank birthday banner and cafe lights. He gets me.

AND Mellow Mushroom pizza! Pineapple and tempeh...delicious.

Love this dude.

The fun continues this weekend with some fun errands on Saturday. I have few craft ideas in mind, especially after my big gift purchase (thanks mommy 1 and mommy 2 for the spending money!). I'm hoping to hunt down some of this felt made from recycled bottles. Recycled materials and cruelty free?!?! How cool! More details once my gift arrives.

Sunday we are heading to Six Flags over Georgia with our church's young adult group.

I'm pumped! I loooooove roller-coasters and have been dying to hit up Atlanta'a Six flags since we moved down here. Mike is less excited about the rides. We'll see how it goes.

My number one target for the day: the Sky Screamer. It's like the carnival swings on steroids. 242 feet tall. Eeeeeee!

Wishing you a thrilling weekend!
