Day 118- Birthday wishes come true....

Tonight I celebrated my birthday with the girls and my mom. First, with a little shopping and then a little dinner.  Well, that was the plan at least. After getting rid of most of my shirts, I figured I would spend some birthday money on shirts... True to form, I came home with a Carrie Bradshaw skirt and a yet another dress I cannot wear to work. I am however now prepared for almost any non-work event one could fathom.

After a slightly odd shopping trip, we attempted to eat dinner. Round 1:  The Yard House- Didn't seem to know how to work their pagers, or their waiting list, so we left after waiting (while shopping).  Round 2: Straits Cafe- Which has redecorated and was playing bad loud music at 5:15 pm, with disappearing waitstaff.  I was so annoyed, we ate appetizers and left.  Round 3:  We ended up at Left Bank where we had the world's most attentive waitress and a pate sampler. 

A good start to the birthday festivities.
