Food Coma.

Good Morning!  I hope everyone had a wonderfully relaxing weekend.  Thanks to everyone who left the super sweet anniversary messages - you rock my world!  Maybe even more so than Matthew Fox (but don't tell him I said that)!  Our anniversary weekend was the bomb-diggity, as I used to say in college, and I truly appreciate your warm wishes:)


So, when I look back on the last week or so, I realized that I have consumed a ginormous amount of food.  I know it's summer and all, but puh-leaze.  It's borderline disgusting.  And then I took a look at all of the photos I've taken with my handy little iPhone, and I realize that I have documented my entire binge journey.  All I know is that Tony Horton would NOT be pleased.  Here's the re-cap:


Wednesday:  Pizza.


We had dinner with friends at an adorable little Italian restaurant, where we feasted on calamari and pizza.  And more pizza.  And the walls were made of fooseball pieces.

Thursday: Movie snacks and McDonald's.


Armed with my homemade popcorn, peanut M&M and Special K combo, I saw the movie version of:

It was phenomenal!  I was surprised at how "normal looking" the actors were (let's just say there was no George Clooney) but overall, I really enjoyed it and thought it represented the book nicely.  That Lisbeth Salander is one tough lady!


While my movie snack might not sound like a binge-fest, well, the McDonald's I consumed after the movie was.  As I "tweeted" on Thursday evening, my self-esteem dropped exponentially after that cheeseburger.  Sads.


Friday:  Cupcakes and Tapas.


During the day, I made cupcakes (I know, I know - you're probably already over my cupcake obsession) for a party on Saturday, and I have to say, they were pretty fantastic.  Imagine a vanilla cupcake with brownie filling and caramel frosting.  It's strange - in my 30 years of existence, this summer is the FIRST time I've ever had any desire to bake.  Whatevs, though.  I'm gonna roll with it.


In the evening, our monthly Dinner Club group met at an adorable tapas restaurant, where we feasted on bacon-wrapped dates, lemon chicken, jalapeno gnocchi, and of course, chocolate cake.

How festive is this room???

YUM!

Saturday: Anniversary Day!  More cupcakes and graduation party food!


As many of you know, my hubs and I didn't have a wedding cake at our wedding.  We had cupcakes instead.  I swear, people, this is when the madness began.  Anyhungry, since we didn't have a frozen layer of cake to eat, we went to the place where we ordered our wedding cupcakes, Swirlz.

Key Lime Pie and Drumstick cupcakes?  Yes, please!

And since my little sister graduated from high school and had her big party on Saturday evening, we had to partake in the typical party delicacies:  fried chicken, blah blah blah, and cake!

Isn't she a doll?  I bet it would be weird to get the piece with her face on it, though...

Ugh.  I don't know about you, but I think looking at all of these photos gave me a cavity. 


If anyone needs me, I will be under a pile of sugar and fat.

How was your weekend?  Are you in a food coma as well???
