Birthday Post

H's 20 question post was a little belated. Things have been busy and with all the travel posts.. I have more by the way I lost track of time and his January birthday post ended up in February. 

February is also a birthday month. M and I celebrated our birthdays, mine on Thursday and his on Friday. For a person who cares little about sports except maybe hockey, the weekend involved a lot of sports, a surprise and Squid Games.


on Thursday night we went out for some Portuguese food.


and celebrated with some brownie a la mode. 


and then came home and worked on a puzzle while watching Landman. Have you seen it? 


On Friday.. M's birthday we headed to the city for a Rangers (hockey) game. It was a nail biter but unfortunately we lost. It was still a good time. 


On Saturday we headed back to New York for a Knicks vs Celtics game. The Celtics decimated the Knicks.. it was hard to watch. 


But our Celtics loving H was very happy. There were many many Celtics fans at the game and they were very happy.


We had a winter storm alert for later that night but to our surprise and my delight it was snowing when we left the Garden. 



It was not a fun drive home.. it was slow and slushy. It was one am by the time we finally got home. 

Sunday morning I was headed to New York city once again. This time I was making the trip solo.. my friend was celebrating her 40th birthday and her husband had planned a surprise party for her.

It started with brunch at Harold's Bistro


after brunch we headed to The Squid Games Experience. I do not watch the show but I'd have to be living under a rock to not have heard of it. It was so much fun! 




and then we were off to a Superbowl party. I did not care about the game.. but we had some good food and laughs.. and my family returned happy with a Chiefs loss..

It was a whirlwind of a weekend..

  3. I'm glad you all had a fab birthday weekend. I remembered Squid Game as being a dystopian thriller series being child-free, I didn't realise there was a kid version! x

  14. Happy birthday!! I think it's funny the boys were cheering on different teams at the basketball game. I'd have been rooting for the Celtics.

  33. Happy Birthday!
    I live around the area where Landman was filmed, so it's kinda neat to see places that I'm familiar with on the show. :D

  36. Wow it was a whirlwind! but lots of fun. Belated birthday wishes. That’s a lovely photo of you and your boys. I haven’t heard of Landman. I’ve seen a bit of the Squid games, are there different versions?

  37. Happy birthday to all who are celebrating! We lived in North Jersey for several years and used to love to go for Portuguese food in the Ironbound neighborhood of Newark. Some really wonderful food! A day in the city sounds like fun. I love the country but miss the city now and then.

  38. Happy birthday to both you and M! Your sports weekend of losses sounds like my horrible Chiefs loss at the Superbowl. Only you guys celebrated their loss. I don't get that, I just root for my team, and don't hate on other teams. But everyone has their own ways! My mom likes Landman, but it's not really my type of show. The Squid game experience sounds neat! I watched the first season and hope to watch the second at some point.

  41. Happy birthdays all round! You certainly had a busy weekend, but driving in snow is no fun. I've never watched Squid Games. Perhaps I should.

  43. Happy Birthday. Mine is in February as well.

  44. Happy Birthday! Looks like a fun time, even if your teams didn't win!

  45. Happy Birthday! Looks like the celebrations were a huge hit! We skipped the SuperBowl watching this year and opted to catch the highlights online. Though my mom was upset about the Chiefs loss, I think the better to the two teams won this year.

  46. Looks like a wonderful month of festivities. Yes, I'm currently watching Landman. I'm about half way through it and enjoying it. Snow is pretty to look at, but difficult to drive in.

  47. Happy Birthday to you and M! Love doing puzzles! My daughter and son-in-law have been raving about Landman. I'll have to start watching it after we finish Downton Abbey. Scary driving home in that weather. We're in Montana right now with family and it's been snowy and cold! Fun, though.

  48. Happy birthday! I like doing jigsaw puzzles too. That food and brownie you had both look good. Sounds like you had a fun month with everything going on. I like the look of snow, but don't like how it turns mushy and grows so fast in cities.
