So, tonight there is a knock on our door and I thought… who the heck is here. Lo and behold it was Rachel and Brandi (two of my good friends from school) coming to steal me off for a birthday dinner! Rachel even brought me a rose!!! We went to Sluggers where I enjoyed myself a tenderloin (YUM-MEE!) and a FREE turtle cheesecake! As another fun surprise, Jamie (another friend from school) was able to join us for dessert!
What a great lead in to my 31st year! Thanks guys! Now I look forward to dinner with my parents AND the Thraps visit this weekend!!! I’m being SPOILED!!!!
That sucks!
I could NOT figure out why you would be saying that sucks, but NOWWWW I get it… don’t worry, if it’s Slugger’s you want, I’m obliging! lol It’s like El Dorado, I don’t get tired of it!!!
Hmm, a tenderloin and turtle cheesecake. Sounds yummy!
Myself though, I probably would have went with a taco salad and just a bite of cheesecake.
HEY! As Rachel and Brandi reminded me… It’s my BIRTHDAY, I can have cake and tenderloins if I want to!
Happy Happy birthday on this your special Day, Happy Happy Birthday thats what Im here to say HEY Happy Happy Birthday from all your friends to You HappY HAppy Birthday from Hickory Park To You. Happy Birthday
Maybe Not Hickory Park, but I am sure they would if you were here.
Ok, so I am now able and willing to explain and apologize for my earlier post. I was literally on my way to bed last night with a headache when I stopped to check the blogs and read this post. So my first thought was “oh great, now she has friends to do stuff with there.” But I am secure in our friendship so I was still like 98% happy for you and only 2% jealous. Then I thought “man, now they stole some of my thunder and I won’t get to be the first (outside of immediate family) to wish her a happy birthday!” So maybe it was more like 5% jealous and 95% happy for you. Then I thought how much fun you must’ve had that day and I hadn’t even talked with you and here I was just sitting alone with a headache which is why I was maybe 10% jealous, but still 90% happy for you. So on my way to post a comment for you I realized that yes, by going to Sluggers with them it had taken some of the specialness of the fact that we were planning to go there this weekend and I didn’t want to have to struggle to find another place that was as agreeable to everyone that would still be special and that’s why I was 25% upset and 75% happy. Or maybe it’s less. It could be, it could be 98% happy, 2% jealous but that’s what makes it so intense, it’s so - confused. I can’t really figure it out. Ok, sorry, I don’t know why I always have to mix those two quotes! But seriously, I love you and I’m glad that you have good friends nearby who can do these things for you or with you when I cannot. Happy Birthday! Can’t wait to see you!
Oh my gosh, that sounds like such a special day. I am so happy for you and soo glad to hear that it sounds like you have found a wondeful niche with the ladies at school….how WONDERFUL to have such fantastic friends…I say, aside from turtle cheesecake…friends like that are really the best present. Happy Birthday!
