Dinner out

My Brother and his Wife Merry took my Mom and I out to dinner last night to celebrate Mother’s day, and my birthday. They took us to Benihana’s an expensive restaurant where they chop, cook, and throw things right at your table. . The Girls were with their dad, Taylor was at work, and so Mathew came with us. He was such a good boy. He liked watching the chef chop things up in front of us, but got more satisfaction out of continuously handing my mom food. I was sitting in between the two of them and Every time he’d stretch his hand out full of food, he’d say “gwama” and refuse to let me take it for him, so my mom had to reach across me to take whatever he was giving her. I feel bad because I’m sure my mom’s leg is bruised from me tapping her leg every time that he was dangling food over my lap. He loved the rice, and devoured most of mine. He even ate a few pieces of my delicious filet mignon. It was such a good dinner, I ate SO much, and I’m definitely feeling it by the way my pants are fitting today. (Can we say bloated?). I had a good time, and I’m so grateful to my Brother and sister in law for spoiling me for my birthday
I’ve had such a good birthday this year. I don’t know if it was because it was Mother’s day, or because so many people made me feel special this year. I had calls from so many of my friends on Sunday and that meant so much to me to know that they remembered me on my Birthday. I also got wishes left on my blog. When I got into work on Monday I was working on the floor and my friend Jamie (who I also share a large office with) asked me if I’d been there during the weekend. She then told me “it looked like someone had trashed my desk”. At first I was irritated, but then I walked in and saw this!

What fun! ( oh, and Don't mind my messy desk. Its organized to me)
Thank you everyone for making me feel special, and for caring about me so much.

Happy Birthday! It sounds like you had a great one! I am also looking forward to Sunday. I'll call you before I come.

That's because you ROCK! I am glad that you felt special on your birthday because I sure blew it on NOT calling you on your actual b-day. I still LOVE you though! :)
