Birth Week Update
So far, this has been one of my best birthdays in recent memory. Leigh-Ann and I went to Todai in Desert Passage for their sushi buffet dinner. Not only was the food fabulous, but they give out free birthday dinners, which saved us about $26. The food was great - we had an amazing variety of stuff. I only took a picture of one plate with my phone, but you can get an idea of the variety.

Since we saved so much on dinner, I went on a small spending spree. I bought this sushi t-shirt, we each got a pair of earrings (a huge total of $7.60), some cucumber melon hand sanitizer (we’re wild, we are), an anti-gravity chair that was on sale at Sharper Image (not much to look at, but it makes your back feel great!), and a fan for my desk that was 50% at Sharper Image. Then we just wandered in and out of the stores in Desert Passage. It was fun and relaxing. I’d really thought I was done with birthdays that felt just perfect, but Monday was one of those days. And, birth week isn’t even over yet. We still have the family get together for my b-day and Ilona’s b-day.
So far, I’ve gotten some really cool gifties - a Stewart/Colbert 2008 t-shirt, two cool Japanese t-shirts (J-List.com has neat stuff), an Amazon g/c, and a bitchin’ Felix the Cat watch. 42 has been beddy beddy good to me.
You know how you have a big crush on a kid in elementary school and then you go your separate ways and never see each other again? Well, I got an e-card from my sixth grade “boyfriend” (when you’re that age, you don’t even have to date to have a “boyfriend") on my birthday. He moved away to Washington after sixth grade and I never knew what happened to him. 31 years later, he’s back in California and has a cute nine month old little girl. At the very least, I hope she grows up to be as nice and sweet as her dad was at 11. He was the kid that every parent wants their kid to have as a friend.
By the way, I still have some Vox invites available!

Nice! And I love that t-shirt, except I look dreadful in orange.
Wanted to say I saved the link for the frozen hot chocolate. Next time I’m feeling self indulgent....Carina on 08/10 at 01:12 AM -

man I want sushi.
Joe hates it, but our local tepanyaki place has chinese too, so I can occasionally talk him into it.Jack's Raging Mommy on 08/10 at 02:24 PM
