I love birthdays...especially when they're my own! I used to call February "birthday month" but after my 30th I decided that would be the last year I would have a party or make it some big deal. And this year it really felt different. I didn't even realize it was my birthday until the day before. Meredith took me out to dinner to a BYOB sushi place on North Ave and we had a great time catching up. Last year Jason was in Ohio on my birthday so she took me out and I think its started a tradition of birthday dinners with her. (yippy!)
On my birthday I met Ellis for lunch at English. She shares the same birthday as me...though she is 2 years younger. Something which I used to like back in the days when I got my drivers license or turned 21...these days I would prefer her to be 2 years older! In thee evening, Jason took me out to one of my favorite restaurants, Mia Francescas. The entire day I stuck with my diet having a salad for lunch and tasty salmon with spinach for dinner. It was delicious!
Last night Jason and I met my family out at one of my favorite suburban restaraunts, Antico Posto. Thursday nights are BYOB, no corkage fee so we all sipped wine and I ordered my favorite, angel hair pomodoro with extra mozzarella. (didn't keep with the diet that night!) It was a really nice week of festivities. Thanks for all the birthday wishes and a special thank you to Meredith, Jason and my family. Jason, I really appreciate you getting out of work on time and for taking the train to the burbs to be there with my family and me!
Yay! I'm so glad I'm part of your B-day traditions! Meredith
