Sorry for no blog post yesterday, I got caught up in the Madness and couldn’t tear myself away!
So, as for the birthday:
I was alone at the house when I woke up so I got to start my day off right with a shot and a drink. Then I was on drink #2 when the others showed up for cupcakes and presents.
After I racked up a ton of books (thanks all) and some movies and tripoly (nice, Maren) and had another shot, we headed out for dinner.
In case you couldn’t tell from the photo, we also did some drinking there. At the end of our dinner, as we were casually chatting, we realized that our Broadway show did not start at 8 but at 7. Only a slight problem given that it was 7:30. Crap-it. So, we booked down to the theater and watched the end of the first half of the show standing in the back of the theatre. Luckily, if you’re going to miss half an hour of a show, Guys and Dolls is clearly that show. None of the good songs are in the beginning and you can get caught up with a brief explanation.
The best thing about the show was that Lauren Graham, aka Lorelai Gilmore, was the star of the show and rocked the house.
Anyway, we had a good time and I’m glad it’s over. Thanks to you all for the gifts and cards and e-mails and calls.

Who can’t wink? That ridiculous! It’s closing one eye. It’s not like it’s a hard task. Now saying you can’t ride a unicycle, can’t speak Chinese, or can’t explain Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, those are normal things that most people can’t do. But winking? Seriously girls. Buck up!
