Birthday Nomad
Hey guys! How’s your night going??
I’m HOME!
Heh heh. Of course I made a little stop on the way 
Thank you so much for all of the beautiful comments, tweets, Facebook posts and sweet birthday wishes! I appreciate it so much <3
Thank you to my friends who celebrated my birthday with me last night! I loved seeing everyone <3
This morning, I was moving a little slowly after a night in Valdizzy with dinner, Funfetti cupcakes and chilled white wine, and girl chat until the wee hours of the morning, so Jeni and I went to Two Friends for breakfast before I hit the road back to Orlando.
I had a veggie omelet (no cheese)
Coffee + a sweet potato biscuit that I wasn’t going to eat but then did (I love gluten. And it’s my birthday. haha)
The drive back to Orlando was pretty uneventful- I listened to the rest of “A New Earth” (highly recommend it!) and pulled into a rest stop for a chat with homeopathic doc. Good news! I can eat fruit again 
I really look forward to our phone appointments- he answers all of my questions and is so patient in explaining everything. He also said I can eat Stevia everyday, twice a day on Sunday if I want to. Good stuff
When I got to my aunt’s, I was greeted by my favorite downward-facing Bella:
+ a little Yorkie tail
+ gifts from a certain someone who still made his presence known today
I’m waiting to get back from work to open the gifts and read the cards
Yes, I’m at work tonight but it aint no thang. I got in my celebrating last night Also… I’m going to NEW YORK ON SUNDAY!!! More on that to come.
Legendary dinner:
A macrobiotic bowl (arugula, sea vegetables –dulse, arame, wakame-, sauerkraut, tamari-soaked almonds, cashew sauce)- I’ll be sure to post a how-to next time I make it, which will be soon!
with my favorite vegan miso slaw from the hot bar:
I’m back to work, but I’ll see ya in the morning!
What are you up to this weekend?? Have some dessert for me, mmm k?
xoxo,
Gina

Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Gina!! 🙂 I hope it has been amazing. And I really hope you show us what’s in the packages because I am super curious, haha
Happy Birthday Gina 🙂 I hope it continues to be amazing!!! I’m eating desert right now….peppermint bark from TJ’s ahhh, i <3 it! it's seriously amazing.
If you had to choose only one to go to would it be 306 North or Two Friends? I prefer 306 North. I had an awful experience at Two Friend about 2 months ago. The food was awful, the waitress was rude, and our table was never cleaned even after I said something.
really??
i prefer 306 too, but love them both. the multigrain bread at 306 is what makes that one a winner haha 🙂
the tilapia at two friends is AMAZING and randy always makes me a special salad with thing i want on it (goat cheese and veg!)
NY!! My neck of the woods, yay! Can’t wait to hear where you’ll be going 🙂
Glad you had a great birthday girl! 😉
Happy Birthday!! What a cute dog.
Im sorry I didn’t get a chance to say it sooner, but Happy Happy Birthday!!! I’m so glad it was wonderful 😀
Glad you had such a happy birthday!! And lucky you for getting to go to NYC in a few days!!!
Happy Happy Birthday lady! Looking forward to hearing about the NY trip. Hope you had a great weekend!!
“dinner, Funfetti cupcakes and chilled white wine, and girl chat until the wee hours of the morning”–
THAT sounds like the perfect way to spend a bday (of course, having the Pilot there would be the best present of all) but as a 2nd fiddle, what you did sounds great 🙂
Safe travels back to Orlando and Happy Bday!!!!!!!!!!
🙂
Happy Birthday Gina!!! I hope you had a good b-day! November birthdays are the best! hehe! Mine was a few days ago. I was wondering if you could e-mail me (I can’t find your e-mail). I started the South beach diet on Monday and so far it’s going well, I just have a few questions about it and you’re the only person that I “know” did it. Thanks! My email address is abrewcitybride.blogspot.com
happy late birthday!!
send your ?s to: fitnessista at gmail dot com 🙂
happy birthday again Gina! have a great weekend, not just one day for the birthday
I am considering purchasing the Turbofire dvds and was wondering if you could do a review of the program since it’s no longer new to you. I am taking a break from running and have done 30 day Shred but I’m looking for some new cardio for a change and to bust through a plateau. Your thoughts on Turbofire would be greatly appreciated.
if you love kickboxing and dancing, and have no joint or knee injuries, i say go for it! it’s my fave beachbody program 🙂
New York???? You got a book deal??!!! I really hope so! 😉 can u do a blogger meeting in NY! I would really love to meet you!! Thanks!
Blast, better late than never……..
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaappy Birthday!!!
I haven’t been commenting, but I have been checking in from time to time!
I wish you all the best, and I’m sorry the Pilot isn’t there to administer your birthday spankings, heh heh.
LOL!
i missed you! hope all is well 🙂
Hey!!
I’m not a blogger but I read like it’s my job :). I live in NYC (Union Sq) so when you’re in town if you do a blogger meet-up for non-bloggers that would be aammmaaazinngggg!! :).
Happy birthday!!
i’ll definitely try to plan a meet up! i’m only there for one night though :/
I’m excited to find out why you are going to New York. I can’t believe you haven’t eaten fruit in a week. I might die.
Welcome home and I’m excited to find out why you’re going to New York! 🙂
My boyfriend and I went to dinner last night at a local Turkish restaurant and had kunefe for dessert. (shredded phyllo dough stuffed with goat cheese). Oh my gosh! It was foodgasmic!!!!! (and the best way to start the weekend).
that sounds AMAZING
Happy Birthday fellow Scorpio! Mine is on Sunday. I hope you had a lovely time. I love your Orlando area pics – my best friend lives there and seeing those makes me think of her. Have a great one!
happy almost bday!
Glad you had a great birthday! The eats sure looked delicious!
Happy Birthday! A little late 🙂 We got news yesterday that you’ll appreciate. We’re supposed to pcs in the spring. We’ve been told for a month now that “any day” we’ll find out where we’re going. Well, we did yesterday. We’re going nowhere too! We got bumped to the summer cycle so now more waiting! haha go figure! 😛
ahhhHH! so crazy!
Yay for being able to eat fruit again! I don’t know how you were able to go without it – I don’t think I could survive a day without fruit! 😛
Aww those gifts from the Pilot made me smile. I hope the rest of your birthday was amazing!
Glad you made it home safe & sound–happy belated birthday! 🙂
Happy Belated Birthday! Bella is so sassy, love it!
Happy Belated!!!
Happy Belated Birthday!!! Sounds like you had a good time! 🙂
Glad you had a good bday.
