I woke up early after a night of not so much sleep…tossed and turned much of the night. Jeff wished me a happy birthday, I said a quick prayer of thanks to my mom for my birth. And got out of bed to start the day.
My wonderful hubby had something planned for me which he had been teasing me about for weeks, but wouldn’t tell me what it was. So I decided to let it go and just get through the work day and find out that evening.
A woman I work with had her birthday the day before mine so our boss took the team out for lunch to celebrate. We went to First Watch and had a very yummy and somewhat healthy lunch. Although one of the others complained because too much healthy stuff was on the menu. OMG – she actually complained because while yeah they have a buffalo chicken wrap – they ruin it by using a whole wheat tortilla. She ordered the one burger on the menu and complained because of the whole wheat bun it was served on. Oh well you can’t please everyone. I had a wonderful omlette and really enjoyed the time. When we came back to work we had a huge chocolate chip cookie cake to celebrate.
Throughout the day I received many many texts and Facebook messages wishing me a Happy Birthday! It was really nice to realize how many wonderful friends I have. But as the day went on – I realized the Jeff had shared with several of my friends exactly what he had planned…and I know this will come as a shock but I’m a little bit of a control freak. So it was killing me that people knew what was going on and I didn’t. ARGH! I tweeted that Jeff was being mean to me, he saw it and told me to quit whining.
I left work an hour early in order to accommodate whatever Jeff had planned for the evening. He picked me up at work at 4PM and we took off for my magical birthday evening. We went to dinner at Brio where I had a great meal of Garanelli Carbonara, along with a glass of Chardonnay. YUM!!! After dinner we went to Bar Louie’s and met friends for happy hour, which was really fun (so was the shot of Patron Silver!). Then it was Sephora to get my free birthday gift and a couple of other things.
I was then informed that we were on a slight schedule – so it was off to the car and driving to downtown again. My birthday surprise was tickets to see Wonderland! I was really happy for this – I had wanted to see the show but didn’t think we would be able to go so I hadn’t mention it to Jeff. I’m glad he knows me so well. The show was GREAT!!!! It opens on Broadway this spring and I hope to get to see it there sometime too.
After the show was over we went to see Sprinkles – (her birthday is today btw!) she had made me a psychedelic birthday cake…it was sooooo good. We enjoyed some time with her – told her about the day and then realizing it was getting really late and I had to be up for work this morning, so it was off to home and straight to bed.
