Lizzy's Birthday | Jesse's Here

I love Fridays, and I love birthdays. Happy birthday, Lizzy!!

hbd, lizzy!
Today happens to be both; we celebrated our owner's daughter [& also our sales rep]'s birthday today, in true Express fashion. 
the sweeterie!
Cupcakes. Why? Because we love food and we love The Sweeterie in Mariemont.
You should, too. ;)

Fast forward to now, when I'm just waking up three hours later, from that nap I told myself would be a half-hour snooze.. Hah. Jesse is here for the weekend, and he and Rob are heading out for some quality guy time. Fine by me. I'm heading back to bed.

G'Nite, ya'll!

Tuesday & We're At It Again

yay!!
That's right, my office has officially been open for one full year. I just looked back at the entry I made this time last year; it does and doesn't feel like it's been a full year since we opened our doors, but here we are, growing steadily and running full steam. Happy Expressaversary, to us!

To celebrate, the ladies of the office closed up for lunch and treated ourselves to Seasons 52.

Fooooooooooooood...
bring on.. the lunch (:
We do things in rounds when we celebrate...
a proper 3-course lunch:
pesto chicken flatbread appetizer | cedar plank salmon | mini indulgence desserts!
Oh, and Nancy bought cupcakes from the Sweeterie. 
sweeterie! ;)
After work, I stopped by to pick up Sydni and headed home, pulling in the driveway just as Rob rolled down the street on the bike. We wasted no time switching clothes and adding work gloves for night 2 of some catch up on yard work.

We've had small brick pavers in the bed of Rob's truck for almost two weeks now, and tonight we finally moved them to the backyard, where they'll eventually become a miniature firepit. It was a quick process, especially since there were three sets of hands to help!
such a great helper!!
taking a break... after 3 whole minutes of work... whew! ;)
We contemplated using them for the front yard, but decided instead for the back yard.
this is how we transport around here.. haha.. toys..
As a reward for her hard work, she got to cruise down the block and back with Rob on the bike. Don't worry, friends, I could've probably run faster than they were moving, but she took to the bike like a charm and it was harder to peel her off than get her on it.
little harley girl!
For dinner, it was an easy decision to skewer up some meat & potatoes for the grill. I snagged one of the cupcakes from work for these two, and all together it became dinner for 3, and we are happy little campers!
grilled-up deliciousness [is that even a word? ...who cares]
Tomorrow it's volleyball, willing the rain holds off.
Hopefully it does.
Because hey, volleyball double-headers are the best ;)
See ya then!

Happy Birthday, Elisa!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELISA!!!!
happy birthday!!
Elisa's birthday is TODAY! I have the pleasure of working with this girl, and I must say she's pretty awesome. Coincidentally, I knew her brother from college, long before I ever met her, and then when I did finally meet her, we realized both of us are part of adoptive families. Pretty cool. (:

Anyway, birthdays are great excuses to indulge on things that otherwise have no permissable justification. Erego, meet the box of cupcakes from The Sweeterie that Nancy brought to help us celebrate Elisa's birthday and our blatant disregard for healthy eating.
hello, ya gorgeous thing, you!
I assumed that, since it's also Michael Jordan's birthday today, that anyone sharing such a momentus birthday would be watching this gem to celebrate:
boom.
^ We discussed this movie here at the office today and how, when we were kids watching it, it was one of the classics of that time. However, to watch it now means realizing that MJ really just... isn't a good actor, nor is this movie nearly as entertaining as it was when I was what, 10... 11? If anything else, it's almost more creepy than anything else, but even then I still relish this as one of those staple movies from my middle childhood years.

That being said, happy birthday to both MJ and Elisa!

I still feel behind from the weekend; tonight's supposed to be producing some nasty weather again, so instead of heading to the gym like I was supposed to, I'm here at home working out in my living room and avoiding any extra time on the roads. It's nuts out there.

Happy week, blogbots!
