Come say hi to Anna on Faces of Beauty!

Please vote for me on the Next Food Blog Star!  Just click here :)

I’m not really the kind of person who likes to share that it’s her birthday.  I both love and hate the attention at the same time and feel weird about bringing that internal conflict upon myself.

And so I just don’t say anything at all and hope that people find out some other way.

And I also hope that they don’t.  I know I’m weird…seeing this in writing is just affirmation!

So yes, today is my birthday.  There, it’s out there.  Do with that what you will.

Nate “surprised” me last night with part of my birthday present:  some Vibram Five 5Fingers!

I say “surprise” because I actually have known about having these for almost 2 weeks now.  Hey, I had to try them on!

But kudos to Nate for holding off and ignoring my incessant whining about “needing” them immediately.  That’s a strong man!

It just so happens that our neighbor, Aaron, actually has the same birthday as me!  So last night we went and celebrated at 3 Margaritas.  You know I had to get a margarita, right?!  Strawberry, please, with extra sugar on the rim – YUM! (10 points to anyone who can name that movie…college roommates excluded).

This was a lot bigger than I imagined, and let’s just be honest here:  I’m pretty much a huge lightweight.  This massive margarita could be dangerous!

All I have to say is thank goodness for chips and salsa.

Nate and I split a burrito with beans, rice, and carne asada topped with chipotle sauce, sour cream, and guacamole.  Heaven I tell you!  I could eat Mexican food for the rest of my life.  Really though.  I could.

But I won’t.

So today?  Today I’ll be working and kicking myself for not asking off.  And the rest is unknown!  I know I get another birthday dinner at a restaurant of my choosing, but I’m not sure what I choose just yet.  I can promise you this though:  it will be good!

Finally, I’m going to milk it for all it’s worth:  a perfect birthday present would be to make it to Round 3 of Project Food Blog!  Please vote for me by clicking here.  Side note:  you do have to be a member of Foodbuzz to vote, but joining is easy (wink, wink)!

Happy Tuesday guys 🙂

  1. I’m always the person who wishes Happy Birthday late…so I’m glad to see that I am still that person. Happy (belated) Birthday and wish you many blessings all year through! I am jealous of your vibrams!

  3. Okay, so the movie quote about the margarita made me think of The Hot Chick. Whether or not that is the movie you were actually referencing, it still made me laugh. 🙂

  6. Happy Birthday! I’m not a birthday fan either but I definitely still like to celebrate. I mean, getting older means getting wiser right?
    Anyway, seems like you had a fun day and what a great birthday present!
    ps. I LOVE Mexican food as week! Beans + Rice + tortilla + guac = HEAVEN in my mouth!

  11. Happy Birthday!!!! I love Mexican food more than life itself. You’re so lucky that you live in CO, where you’re surrounded by authentic Mexican food. My aunt lives in Longmont and I love going to greasy Mexican dives when I visit her. Hope your day was great! 🙂

  13. Happy Birthday, beautiful inspiring Heather! Thanks to you my daughter is spreading the “Faces of Beauty” word around her school. So far, no luck with photos (they don’t want to put their photo “out there” on the web), but you are making a difference in so many young girl’s lives! I hope your birthday is as special as you are! 🙂

  26. Happy Birthday, chica!
    Sounds like you guys had a fun night celebrating! It’s funny that you got those shoe things…my neighbor bought a pair to lift weights in which are all black, so she looks like she’s got monkey feet. haha!

    Enjoy every moment of your day and wishing you many more wonderful years filled with love, happiness and good health!

    I can’t wait to read about your experiences with your new vibrams and if the transition is difficult going from shoes to barefoot. If anything, you look super badass 🙂

  47. Happy Happy Birthday!!

    I’ve thought about getting the Vibram’s but it just occurred to me while looking at your picture, that my 2nd toe is longer than my big toe. Hmmm…. Might not be too comfortable.

    Reply

    • Well I just answered my own question with the video on the Vibram website. You use the measurement from your longest foot/longest toe to determine the size.

  48. Happy Birthday Heather! I think I could eat mexican food everyday for the rest of my life as well. Yum. And that margarita looks devine…
