Birthday Celebrations

I'm officially old(er).

Let me recount the celebrations:

Friday October 16 - Seattle - Dinner at Icon with some of my closest friends:

The food was great, the Orange Drop is an amazing drink if you're so inclined for a martini, and the company was the best a girl could ask for.

Saturday October 17 - Seattle - Joint celebration with another friend that included watching the Sounders win at the College Inn and then dancing and pool at The Ballroom in Fremont:

Things I've learned - I have to go to more 'Football' games - those chants are hilarious and catchy AND the pizza at The Ballroom is HUGE. (honestly I swear one slice was probably a foot long and 10 inches across at the crust).

Sunday October 18 - Kenmore - Take out Fortune Inn with the husband

I LOVE CHINESE FOOD!! ('nuff said)

Saturday October 24 - Spokane - Dinner and Drinks with friends.

Went to the casino for dinner, dancing and gambling. The food was good, and reasonably priced. The music in the "lounge" however, was NOT suitable for dancing, unless you're a little old person (in your 60's probably). Drinks were good, I didn't gamble, those that did won though, so maybe I should have tried my luck. Went to Press for late night cocktails. Very good, I will go back.

Sunday October 25 - Spokane - nothing - HOWEVER I was inundated with facebook messages, text messages and phone calls filled with well wishes.

Still to come: Sunday November 1 - Bothell - brunch with the in-laws: Can't wait!!!

I do love my birthday! Thanks to all who helped celebrate.

It's Friday night, I guess that makes it all right...

okay, so I'm not Prince, and I have no Little Red Corvette (which is fine, I'd prefer a Mercedes anyhow), but that's just the sentiment I have tonight for sitting around and doing nothing.

It's been a hectic seven days. This time a week ago I was enjoying dinner with friends in Seattle. I would love to go back to that time right now, it was absolutely amazing. In the last week I have had other fun times, a great brunch with friends, a couple of birthday celebrations (for myself and others), and unfortunately a horrible cold. That's right, I have been down with the sickness for about 3 days. I'm finally feeling better, just in time for yet another birthday celebration. But to be sure, I'm taking it easy with a quiet Friday night in.

So, how do I spend a Friday night in alone?

- Talk to the husband on the phone

- Watch reruns of Bones (love, Love, LOVE David Boreanaz)

- Watch the episode of Monk where Sharona returns (Yay for Bitty Shram)

- Check out the new Psych midseason replacement

- Write for a while (gotta practice for NaNo)

Man do I live an exciting life or what? Yeah, I thought so. I think I'll go make a cup of tea before starting White Collar (the Psych midseason filler).

I hope the rest of you are an enjoying a more exciting Friday night...

Things off the list:

It's been a while since I've scratched anything off my gigantic to do list, so here are a couple:

Order Mac n' Cheese in a restaurant - Last Friday I ordered Mac n' Cheese at a place called Zola. It was wonderful cheesy goodness, with BACON! AMAZING

Run a mile - done. Painful, took about 12 minutes, (so around 5 miles an hour) but I did it. And I will do it again, and again, and again. Thank you treadmill, it is way too cold to run outside.

More things down... many more to go.

Fat Girl Goes to Court

Twice.

Get all nervous and prepared for court last week, get there - hearing is continued.

Get all nervous and prepared for court yesterday, get there - the case settles.

Gee it sure is fun to be a lawyer.

No but seriously: Going to court on an entirely unrelated matter on Thursday - that one will go for sure (I hope).
