Friends at work gave me an early birthday 'party' at work yesterday since we have a lot of folks on vacation the rest of the week.  We had dark chocolate cake with Mayfield vanilla ice cream, hot fudge sauce (home made) and whipped cream. 

Some of you may remember the fudge cake that Shoney's restaurants used to have - well it was that, only WAY better.  We all had a big ol' dose of it after lunch yesterday and we were miserable (in a good way) all afternoon long.

And, I had it for breakfast this morning.  Now that's the way I like to start the day!
