While I was away on vacation last week, I turned 28! My birthday was on Saturday, but since we were traveling, Ryan saved my gifts for me to open at home when we returned from our trip.
Last night was birthday celebration night in our house!
Check out one of my snazzy gifts:
Pretty sweet, huh!?
Though this may seem like a rather random gift, there’s actually a story behind the pajamas.
When we were in Ireland last March, it was freezing and one night when we were outside walking around, I said, “All I want to do is cuddle up in a pair of ridiculously warm pajamas.”
“The kind with the feet?” Ryan asked.
“YES!” I said. We then went on a mission to find footie pajamas and searched in a handful of department stores with no luck.
Obviously I was pretty darn excited to get a pair of footie pajamas for my birthday… Just in time for summer in Florida. Ha!
Workout
Today’s workout began on the elliptical before I headed into the weight room to complete Workout B from Tina’s Best Body Boot Camp. It felt good to make my muscles burn a bit!
Breakfast
After my time at the gym, I headed home and made myself a breakfast sandwich with eggs, cheese, strawberry jelly and Ezekiel toast.
Sweet and savory! I love it!
Now I’m off to work. I am working late today, so I don’t think I’ll have a chance to blog after (or during) lunch, but I’m not sure how lunch breaks work just yet, so we shall see!
Question of the Afternoon
- What is the strangest gift you’ve ever received?

happy belated birthday.
love the PJs 🙂
Happy Birthday <3 Love the pjs, super cute 😀
Those PJs look so flippin comfy, I really want a pair (just in time for summer in california!)
One time I got a pressure cooker for Christmas. I hate to cook. I cried.
Happy Belated Birthday! I love those PJs!
I have always been obsessed with smart water. For my 18th birthday, my best friend got me a case of smart water. Haha! It was the best gift ever!!!
Happy Late Birthday!
Well happy late birthday! My birthday is Tuesday, so my strangest gift may change soon, but as of now it was a jar of pickles. I am a pickle lover from way back, so for my birthday one year my sister got me one of those HUGE economy size jars of pickles. I laughed and proceeded to eat the whole jar (with help) in less than a week.
HA HA HA I think footie pajamas are scary. I’d feel like a crazy person!
The funniest gift I ever got was when hubby & I started dating. We had only beend ating 2 months when my birthday came around and he bought us matching wrestling shirts. We joke about it to this day. The next year he did better – he took me to see N’SYNC in concert!
Cute PJ’s! 🙂
I might have to try your Egg, Cheese and Jam sandwich one of these days, it looks so yummy!
Oh and Happy belated Birthday 🙂
Ha ha ha, very cute! And practical?!
After a year of getting the German grammar list and an ugly plant, me and my boyfriend had decided to take each other to the store and speak up our wishes. This year I want a coffee machine!
Pajamas are always better with the completely footed option 🙂 They make me think of being a kid!
Strangest gift? The land before time. On VHS. When I was like, 15 hahaha
Love that movie!!!
How cute! I am going to ask my boyfriend to purchase for my birthday 🙂
Strangest gift, stretch mark cream from my mother-in-law when I was pregnant with my twins.
Happy belated Birthday! Haha all I could think was, perfect gift for someone that lives in Florida 😉 Have a great day!
Happy belated birthday!! Strangest gift was probably a jar of pickled asparagus…love love them:)
The strangest gift I received was from my sister-in-law. I would definitely call her a hippie and she likes to save things she finds and reuse them. She got me fire starters and a bunch of that days newspaper. Pretty different but it’s the thought that counts.
The strangest gift I have ever received was lingerie from my ex boyfriends parents…talk about awkward!
Omg I got the same thing!!!!!! So awkward.
Happy Birthday Julie!
The strangest gift I’ve ever received was probably a balloon animal kit for christmas one year (as an adult). Never opened that one…
Happy birthday! I need a pair of those right now–It’s May day and below 40* here! 🙁
LOVE the footsie pajamas and happy birthday!!!
Those PJ’s are too cute! I got a vaccum once and I was soooo excited about it because it was the fancy one designed for pet hair! Yay for cleaning!
Happy birthday! I love the pajamas… much more practical than a Snuggie 🙂
I got the Rotato for Christmas one year from my at the time future in-laws. A Rotato! I just looked it up to see if they still existed, and apparently they do. Although mine was not nearly as fancy as the ones on google images.
Happy (late) Birthday! I totally own a pair of footy PJ pants (unfortunately not the entire one piece – I’m so ashamed) and I LIVE in them in the winter. They’re so great.
I for some reason JUST tried the sweet/savory breakfast sandwich combination the other day and WOW I’m a huge fan! 🙂
Hi Julie! Happy belated birthday(: I was just wondering if you eat a snack or some sort of food before working out in the mornings? I wanna start working out before school and im not sure whether to just wait until after I workout to eat or have a small snack before…
Thanks!
Happy belated birthday Julie! Target has great selection of adult size onesies for a descent price. My sisters and I have a tradition of wearing it when we open our presents on Christmas morning.
Happy late birthday!!
Happy birthday!! I just turned 30 a couple of weeks ago myself.
Lol those pajamas are too funny and too cute!
Cute PJ’s! Happy birthday!
For my 25th birthday, my friends put together a chocolate-themed gift basket! It had really interesting items like Tabasco Spicy chocolate, chocolate red wine, edamame crunch chocolate bar, stout&smoke chocolate bar, etc. I enjoyed trying each of them and thought the gift basket was unique and fun!
Happy Birthday! Love the PJ’s! They look super comfy!
OMG those are the best. Do they have rubber stickies at the bottom so you don’t slip? Heheh. Also, happy belated birthday!
Hi Julie, happy birthday!
I’ve been a long time reader of pbfingers, but this is my first time posting here. I just wanted to comment to thank you so much for inspiring me to start my own blog! I finally took the plunge yesterday and followed a ton of your tips on how to get started. I read dozens of blogs daily, but yours is by far my favorite :).
Keep doing what you’re doing!
Christine
Awesome!!! Congrats on taking the first big step!
Those pjs are birth contro 🙂
I once rec’d a bottle of deoderant, all wrapped up fancy, from an ex who would “shop” for toiletries in my bathroom and groceries in my kitchen. I was less than impressed….I think he gave it to me as I started to hide stuff from him when he came over so by giving me that he’d be sure to “have one to steal” … Moron 🙂
I saw footie pajamas at Target once and almost had to get them. I always had them as a kid. Why is it so hard to find adult ones? lol
The strangest gift that I was given that I can remember was a white elephant gift. I mean it wasn’t necessarily meant for me. It got a water fountain. Not really sure what to do with it. I think it is still in the box…
Well… I thought I was getting a phone for my birthday and I opened it up and it was a FRYING PAN!!! Thanks dad:) I’ve wanted to try your sandwich but scared because of the jelly. And suggestions?
Awesome PJs! They look great for cuddling up on a cold day (not many of those in Florida, though…).
haha I love the footie pajamas! My aunt and uncle and their 3 kids always wear them around Christmas time – it makes the whole family laugh 🙂
Happy belated birthday girl! 🙂
Happy Birthday! Those are cute pajamas 🙂 I am also working late, so I feel your pain!
Random gift: my parents think they’re hilarious and for our 16th birthdays they give us a bag of “dates”…like the nasty pruny things. Then they make us eat one and take a picture of our “first date”. They’re dorks. But I love them.
I love the egg, cheese and jelly breakfast sandwich and so does my picky-eating husband! Thanks for the idea.
Hmmmm. hahah maybe a characature of my brother…….from my brother……..whatta guy lol
P.S happy late birthday!!! 😀
one of my favorite breakfasts!
Super cute gift! So nice your man listened and remembered :-). Weirdest gift I ever got was a Pauly d bobble head lol love + shine Courtstar
Happy birthday Julie!! I love random husband gifts! My husband gets me all kids of clever things like footie PJs, and they are always my favorite!
Quick question, do you work and workout at the same gym? I would probably be all self-conscious working out in front of my coworkers, but guess it goes with the territory!
I have 2 pairs of footie pjs somehow! They are great to lounge in, especially when you are feeling under the weather. But I cant sleep in them, I sweat like no other!
I have a pair of footed pajamas too! I love them. In winter I’m always cold and there is nothing better than having your whole body covered! You’re gonna use them a ton! 😉
Haha Footie Pj’s- aren’t they called a Onesie? 😛
Rockin’ it! Did you have any birthday celebrations while you were away?
