Come say hi to Anna on Faces of Beauty!

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 🙂
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!
Yay for your Vibrams!! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!
<3 you and your blog. a lot.
I voted for you again! Hope you make it to round 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. 🙂
Happy, happy Birthday, Heather. I hope you enjoy celebrating your life today!
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear Heather,
Happy birthday to you! 🙂
Thanks for being an awesome blogger!
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!

Happy Birthday! Looks like you’re having a great celebration!
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! 🙂
Happy Birthday! I am the same way about Mexican food–I could seriously eat it for every meal!
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! 🙂
Happy Birthday!!!!!!! Seriously?!?! You were going to keep this? LoL, nonsense! It’s time to celebrate and make a HUGE deal because it’s totally your day! 🙂 Hope it was amazing!!!!!
Happy Birthday !!!! 🙂 I can’t wait to hear how you like those Vibrams!!!

Strawberry margharita’s + mexican food is definitely the perfect way to celebrate 🙂
Happy Birthday!! You’ll have to let us know what you think of your Vibrams!!!
I hope you had a great birthday! And enjoy the new running kicks- my friend has a pair and she thinks they’re fun… 🙂
Happy birthday! I hope it’s margarita-filled yet again!!
Happy Birthday! My bf’s birthday is today, too! Hope yours is a happy one!

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!
Oh my goodness happy birthday a day late! That marg looks yummy! Those shoes are crazy!

Happy Birthday, Heather!!! Hope your special day is the best ever. Love the gift from the hubby.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY !! I’m in good company… my bday was yesterday!! 🙂 have a great one, Fellow Libra! XO !

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 🙂
Happy Birthday! So cool you got the Vibrams!
I adore Mexican food 🙂
Hope you have a fabulous day!
my brother in law has shoes like that – he calls them his monkey shoes! 🙂
Happy Birthday Heather!

Happy Birthday! I just got my first pair of Vibrams too 🙂 I’ve been getting blisters, but I just pop em and move on! Yay for running barefoot!!! or soon to be 🙁
Coming out of lurkerville to wish you a Happy Birthday. I’ve been reading for a while and just wanted you to know that I love your blog and clicked on the FBuzz <3… hope you get to round 3 and beyond. Good luck!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Those shoes look so cool. I’m totally ignorant as to how they work. Are they like running shoes or what?
they are…i would check out the website for more information, or read “born to run” which is all about the barefoot running movement 🙂
I could eat Mexican food for the rest of my life, too. And no worries, birthday calories don’t count! AND I’m so jealous of your Vibrams! I love them.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Happy birthday Big Scissor!!!! I love you! You’re the best sister in the WORLD!
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.
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.
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…
It’s bad to be thinking i want one at 9 am right? yes, it is..
Happy Birthday beautiful Heather!! I’ve missed reading your blog while traveling and so glad I stopped by today to wish you the happiest birthday ever! Lots of love & xoxo, Dorry
Happy Happy Birthday Beautiful Lady!!!
Happy birthday!!! <3
I could eat Mexican every day of my life too.
