Well … another birthday done. Welcome to 46!<\/p>\n

This year was somewhat cool as my birthday fell on Friday … the 13th! The day itself was business as usual. Worked. Mowed the Yard. Worked. Such fun. The Boyfriend and I went out to dinner at Boojum Brewing Company<\/strong><\/a> (Mmmmmm, BEER!) and then came home and relaxed.<\/p>\n

The Boyfriend went a little nuts and spent way to much on me. I got a couple of Blu-rays and an Apple Watch<\/strong><\/a> (Series 2). Whoo hoo.<\/p>\n

Saturday, we went down to Charlotte to partake in a night at Scarowinds<\/strong><\/a>. SpOooOoooOOoOky! It was a pretty fun time, but there were a lot of people in the park. It took quite some time to get through lines to the mazes. We ended up going through five of the six they have going … Zombie High<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, Silver Scream Studios<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, Slaughterhouse<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, Depths of Darkness<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, Dark Harvest<\/em><\/a><\/strong>. We missed out on Urgent Scare<\/em><\/strong><\/a> which was a bit of a bummer since we really disliked (the boring) Dark Harvest<\/em>. We only got on three rides and no coasters. Five hours really wasn’t enough time to do everything we wanted to do. It then took us 1+ hour to escape the parking lot. That was not too much fun.<\/p>\n

Here’s the fun sign for Red Ribbon Meats … home of Slaughterhouse<\/em>!
\n\"Red<\/a><\/p>\n

Sunday, we kicked around at IKEA<\/strong><\/a> and Concord Mills<\/strong><\/a> before I headed back to the mountains.<\/p>\n

There was lots of cool stuff at IKEA. Too bad I am not rich and have a big house for all the stuff I wanted to buy. We got there early so I had a late breakfast and The Boyfriend had an early lunch (Swedish Meatballs!).<\/p>\n

Here’s my $2 (plus tax) IKEA breakfast. Pretty yummy!
\n\"$2<\/a><\/p>\n

We ended up at the Lego Store<\/strong><\/a> and I got see the display of the Millennium Falcon Ultimate Collector’s Edition (75192)<\/strong><\/a>. Pictures really don’t do this thing justice. I have been half-heartedly toying with the idea of dropping $800 on this set. After seeing it in person I now know that I DESPERATELY NEED this in my life. Too bad the employee I talked to said it would be January or February at the earliest before they would have it back in stock. Bummer.
