Tricia's Partial Mutterings

Burtday Recap

Well the birthday festivities were good! Friday at work the kids all sang happy birthday to me. It was way cute! My mom and Nikki took me shopping that afternoon. I got two new sweaters and two new shirts. :o) Yay for new clothes. Don't worry, I didn't get any new pairs of shoes this weekend... After shopping we had lunch at California Pizza Kitchen. Yum!

That night Crystal, Jen, Elise, Liz and I went out to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and then we met up with Jamie and Carrie for drinks and fun at Sing Sing. None of us had ever been to Sing Sing before. Basically it is a piano bar where a bunch of random old songs are played and the point is for people to get so drunk they sing along and get up and dance. Well, not all the songs are that old... watching the whitest white guy play on the piano and sing Baby Got Back was the highlight! I do have to say though the clientele was very mixed... but I was super grateful... Older men are really nice when it comes to buying you drinks. :o)

Let's see... I bet I can remember everything I drank... a nasty Sea Breeze with some sort of grapefruit juice in it, three of those test tube shot things that reminds you of spring break (one red vodka based one and two green madori based ones) thanks to my gentlemen friends at the bar, a shot of tequila, a malibu and pineapple which we found a piece of grass frozen into an ice cube resulting in my next free drink, a double malibu and pineapple (and three other free drinks for the girls, damn... I'm going to start bringing my own frozen grass everywhere!), two blow job shots courtesy of the gentlemen at the bar and the bar tender... I think they were just more interested in seeing Liz take her two more!, and a Heifenisen (spelling? basically a wheat beer), but I don't think it was... wrong color, but it was tasty and free none the less!

After all this we headed to the Yard House for a few more. It was a good night and I was SOOO glad the girls could make it out. I think Liz and Crystal have formed a new bond! I wouldn't expect anything less though from those two! *HUGS* Don't forget what I told you!

Last night the family went out to dinner for Michael (my brother-in-law) and my birthday. We headed to PF Chang's at Fashion Island. My first time there. Not too too impressed by the place, but I did like the setting. After dinner, the kids went out. Yup, a little bit of good ole family bonding. Michael, me, Nikki, and Jenny all headed to Balboa Island for a little bit of extended fun. We started off with Mai Tais at the Oyster Bar and then to the fun zone for some ski ball and air hockey! It was a good night. Nice to all hang out once in a while. Makes me feel like we have some sort of social relationship with each other. The night ended with another drink and some birthday cake back at the house. Yay us! :o)

So thank you all out there for the birthday wishes, phone calls, and scary internet cards! You all rock!
