My Bday

This year my birthday was good, I spent it with friends and family. Both Mitch and I felt the same way on our birthdays, being that we missed each other more on those days than we did on Christmas. Weird, right?
Anyway, so that morning I met up with my Bestie Rina, and we went to see Beauty and the Beast in 3D at the theaters. Which was fun! I hadn't seen it in so long, and I had almost forgotten bits and pieces of the movie. Seeing it in better quality than a VHS tape was pretty awesome too.
We had already decided previously that we would get some Greek food for lunch, because I had been craving it for weeks! Mitch and I go pretty frequently when he is home, and I hadn't been since he left, because I didn't want to go alone, plus I hadn't ever gone without him either, I guess it's kind of our thing. Anyway, as I was getting into the car to get from the theater to the Big Fat Greek restaurant, Mitch had called me, so I sat in the car to talk to him, before getting on the road.  So, naturally Rina beat me to the restaurant.

Once I got there we ordered and ate, and I wondered, "did she tell them it was my birthday, since she got here before me?". but then we finished eating, and our waitress said she was going to get the check, and I though, "I guess not, otherwise Rina would have already spilled the beans". She is the worst at keeping secret surprises like that. Then from behind me, I hear Happy Birthday! and the crew coming out with dessert, and singing. They lit the plate on fire, sang and I made a wish and blew out the entire plate, lol.  I went on to tell Rina, that I was surprised that she kept a secret! She goes, "I know! I almost did when the waitress said she was going to 'get the check'". haha, She cracks me up.

Anyhow, this was the baklava that they gave us for dessert, which I had to share with Rina it was so rich, and I was already so full! haha, but the plate underneath, with the chocolate syrup and liquid is what they had on fire.  It was really good, very nutty. I wasn't sure if I would like it, because I thought I had had baklava before, and didn't like it, but I really liked this super nutty baklava. So yummy!

After lunch, I said bye to Rina, and went home. I took the dogs on a shorter walk, they were being not so good that day. Then off to my dad's house, where he grilled some chicken, and invited Janice, Mike, the kids, and Jo. We had more dessert there naturally, a cold stone creamery cake that Janice had ordered and customized. The rest of the evening was spent at Dad's, mostly running around and playing with Kaden, he really is so much fun! I love to talk to him, or at least listen and nod. lol, he has so much to say.

Thank you everyone for the Birthday cards and gifts sent in the mail! I was not expecting so many cards!
