- Ryan and I are leaving on a three-day cruise with friends on Thursday afternoon
- Friday is my 27th birthday
Since I will be turning 27 on April 27, this year is my golden birthday. I will be celebrating like a mature adult on a booze cruise in the Bahamas.
Yes sir!
Lunch
Lunch today included tuna salad served on top of a toasted whole wheat English muffin with roasted Brussels sprouts and kettlecorn on the side.
Have any of you guys tried Popcorn Indiana kettlecorn? My gosh, itās delicious!
It was an impulse buy at the grocery store yesterday and I snacked on it all day on Sunday. I canāt get enough!

Question of the Afternoon
- What is one thing you are looking forward to this week?
![\"Quantcast\"/](\"//pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-1e3-7hOJ_U8Bg.gif\")
You have to try the cinnamon white chocolate variety – it should absolutely be a controlled substance.
that sounds unreal!
My husband and I went to the bahamas last year! It is absolutely gorgeous you are going to love it. Check out senor frogs. Good drinks and a fun atmosphere. Look at my webpage in the travel section i have a few pics!
i plan to get a yard immediately when we arrive! š
Smart girl;)
I just went on a booze cruise in the bahamas last month to celebrate my 21st birthday. Literally the most fun birthday ever. You will love it!
That sounds like the most awesome way to celebrate a golden birthday! Mine is my 30th, so hopefully it cuts the sting of entering the next decade…at least I have 5 years to go lol.
I love kettlecorn! š so delish! I’ve had that brand before too, and it is soo addicting! i think i’ll have to grab some today, because it’s my birthday so i should give in to cravings..right? š
happy early birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Sarah!!!
thank you!! š
Have fun on your cruise!
This week, I’m looking forward to….spending time with my 10 month old nephew and going to a winery event on Sunday!
how fun!!
Wow, that cruise sounds like sooo much fun!! My husband and I are huge basketball fans and we’re going to the last home game of the Toronto Raptors on Thursday and we’ll also spend the whole day in Toronto. š
You must be so excited! That’s so nice that you can go on weekend cruises – I guess that’s a benefit of living in Florida!
yes, definitely. it’s also really nice b/c if you book close to the departure date you can find them for really cheap!
i can’t think of anything better than celebrating a birthday in the bahamas, drink in hand. you’ll have an amazing time! š i’m curious to see the outfits for the cruise, too!
oh dear, I didn’t realize book club was this Thursday! I just got the book in the mail and I have a ton of work this week since it’s the last week of class… lol we’ll see if this happens.
Tomorrow’s my birthday! A few of my coworker friends and I are taking the day off work, and knowing their graciousness, I’m thinking it’ll be a day to look forward to!
woohoo for a fellow taurus! happy almost bday!
Your cruise sounds like so much fun! I’m looking forward to Saturday – My sister and I are going to the Beach Boys concert and have really good seats, and rumor has it that John Stamos (Uncle Jesse!) is joining them on this tour! Fingers crossed that he’s there!
haaaaaaaave mercy!
Im off on holiday on Thursday too (Singapore & China)…I cannot wait!
exactly how many bloggers have birthdays in April? I was last week, so was Lindsay…so many.
Your birthday is the same as my roommates! š I’m sure you will have a blast on your cruise. I love that kettle corn brand also – the cinnamon sugar kind is addicting! Enjoy your week!
I need to jump on this brussel sprout train!!! It’s as if I’m scared to try them….slightly ridiculous.
Jealous of your upcoming cruise! Happy birthday š I’ll be 26 on April 30, so I have a few years before my golden birthday blowout!
You’re a Taurus like me! Must be why I agree with everything you say š
They make a chocolate covered kettle corn… I haven’t bought it yet because I know that it would be gone in a day. I love the plain variety. I eat it like crazy when it’s around the house!
Happy early birthday! I have a birthday celebration this weekend as well with my family and friends in NY. My 27th birthday is Monday š
I’ve always called those kind of years “champagne” birthdays (ie. 27 on the 27th)…so a booze cruise seems totally appropriate. In fact, NECESSARY even. What better way to fully immerse yourself in the champagney-ness of your special day?
Enjoy and happy birthday! Cheers!
It’s my golden birthday this year too! But on Thursday š I think you have better birthday plans then me though…haha
What an exciting golden birthday!
I’m looking forward to my parents coming into NYC this next weekend and this week I’m looking forward to my yoga classes
xo
My golden birthday way in October (27, also)! I really feel like this has been a fabulous year so far, so I wish the same for you:)
We’re almost bday twins. Mine is this Sunday, the 29th. My golden bday was last year and I spent it enjoying margaritas in Mexico š This year is the big 3 – 0 and while I won’t be someplace tropical, I will be enjoying my favorite pizza and beer with some of my best friends. Hope you have a great cruise and bday.
My bridal shower is Saturday! So excited to see family and friends š
what an amazing way to celebrate your GOLDEN birthday (so glad you celebrate those too!)
I’m looking forward to going to Nashville this weekend to participate in the Rock and Roll Half-Marathon! š Hope you have an amazing time on your cruise!
I love golden birthdays! Mine was last year and seriously it was my best year yet! I got promoted, made the gym more of a routine and got engaged! I joked to everyone that it was because it was my golden year š
Hope your golden birthday and year starts off amazing in the Bahamas!
I LOVE that kettle corn, it’s delish.
Happy almost birthday! Have fun in the Bahamas! š
Happy almost birthday! We have the same birthday š I’ll be turning 24!
I’m psyched for a big rock festival in Jax this weekend! Those are always fun and I haven’t been to a concert since January so I’m ready to let a little loose and get a little loud!
Oh my – a booze cruise in the tropics, surrounded by a bunch of friends sounds pretty much like the perrrrfect way to celebrate your champagne birthday! You’ll have such a blast & we’ll all look forward to seeing your pictures! Did you ever get your bikini situation from VS sorted out?
I have been WAITING for you to go on the cruise and blog about it. Just reading makes my day a good time, Julie! Have a great time and happy birthday to you!
I LOVE Popcorn Indiana! So addicting. Can’t wait to read about your cruise, I’m going on a 4-day cruise to the Bahamas in September!
Gah! I have got to get on top of writing my review. I will be sending it soon. Promise!
Three days is nothing! Ps. your brussel sprouts always look delicious, they are one of my favorite vegetables! Enjoy the countdown!
I glad you also know what a Golden Birthday is! Me and my friend kept on trying to convince our husbands that such things existed, but they thought we were just trying to get more presents!
You should try the Trader Joe’s Kettlecorn. Unreal!
And happy early birthday š
I’ve never heard of golden birthdays before. So disappointed though because mine was when I was 15 and I didn’t even realise!
haha, I know what you mean! Mine was even lamer, since I’m born on the 1st… I *really* had no idea…
Aw mannn! my golden birthday passed 12 years ago! haha, when I was 12….wowiiiee your week sounds so fun! Lookin’ forward to the updates. Never been on a cruise, but I heard there’s ALOOOOTTT of food involved š
you have quite the fun week ahead!! we’re leaving on thursday evening for arizona to visit our families and go to a friend’s wedding! i’m so excited to see our families and close friends!
I am upset I missed my Golden Birthday since it was my 5th birthday!
And brussel sprouts roasted with some turkey bacon crumbled on top is a must try. š
I LOOVEEEE kettlekorn!! Yummy!
Ahhhh golden birthday! Mine was last year… And now my birthday is tomorrow! Aren’t April birthdays the best? Have a great week!
I’m pretty sure I didn’t know it was my golden birthday when I turned 5 on February 5! Bummer… it sounds like a fun reason to celebrate!
I’m taking a long weekend from Friday, it was my birthday last Saturday but I’ve lots of work on this week so had to wait a week longer to take a break, can’t wait for Thursday! In case I forget….Have a fantastic Birthday!!!
hope you have a wonderful birthday on your cruise trip! very jealous, i am sure you will have a great time! x
I’m looking forward to 1) hopefully finishing Hunger Games and 2) Friday having a mini vacay with the hubby!
Golden birthday with a booze cruise?! So jealous. I didn’t realize they had 3 day cruises, that sounds like it wouldn’t be too expensive. I guess living in FL makes it even cheaper (well cheaper than flying down from Philly).
I’m looking forward to more playoff hockey (go Flyers), my friend’s bday party this weekend, and running double digits for the first time ever! (Dreading and excited for that one all at the same time lol.)
Popcorn Indiana is THE.BEST. I always get in trouble with that stuff though because once my hand is in the bag I can’t stop eating it . . . I have to bring in pre-portioned baggies of it to work so that I don’t make myself sick! š
I just bought a huge bag of that popcorn, love it!
I am going to see Elton John in concert this week and have a dessert gala, busy week but all with fun stuff š
