Week In Review: Birthdays & Bang Bang Shrimp

This past week I celebrated my birthday and it was pretty awesome.  I really love birthdays.  Of course, my own birthday is one of my favorites, and I always celebrate by taking the day off work and doing whatever I want to do.  This year, I decided to venture out to the mall by myself.  I hadn’t realized until the night before that I haven’t been to the mall alone in years!  I’m almost certain it’s been over 6 years since I have, and I absolutely enjoyed it.  I sat down to have a very indulgent mid-morning snack of an Auntie Anne’s almond pretzel and a Starbucks Caramel Macchiato before wandering aimlessly around all the stores that enticed me.  It was heaven….

This year, I also bought myself a few birthday gifts.  After ordering everything, I thought it was absolutely hilarious that I bought myself things from last year’s birthday wishlist.  I guess none of my family & friends took the hint then, so it’s up to me to get what I want!

The heart rate monitor is my newest toy, and I can’t wait to put it to use soon.  I’m even thinking about putting together a video review of it since I love seeing those things on YouTube.

My birthday landed on a Wednesday this year, so that meant only one thing…..taking advantage of the $5 Bang Bang Shrimp from Bonefish Grill!  I also had a spinach, bacon, & Gorgonzola topped salmon filet from the specials menu, and it was amazing.  Bonefish Grill seriously never disappoints.

What did you all do this week?
