Here’s my birthday loot from Brian:<\/p>\n
black Fossil cuff watch (to replace my three-year old DKNY one that I have worn out)<\/p>\n Dido’s first and second releases and — don’t laugh — American Idol seasons 1 and 2 (I guess Brian felt bad that I was having difficulty finding them on Kazaa; things just aren’t the same as what they used to after all of the fines and arrests and stuff)<\/p>\n a large bouquet of stargazer lilies (my fave) but they died right away because we forgot to replenish the water<\/p>\n an enormous birthday cookie, which was a surprise Brian brought to me at work on Thursday night when he came to pick me up<\/p>\n and the most awesome gift of all — he’s getting a tattoo with my name on it on Wednesday<\/font><\/p>\n As far as, celebrations go — it’s hard when you have to go to school and work on your birthday.\u00c2\u00a0 I had to take an accounting exam at eight o’clock in the morning on Thursday, so how’s that for celebrating?\u00c2\u00a0 Then I wanted to go to KFC for lunch before work but Brian wanted to go somewhere nicer because it’s my birthday so we ended up at Applebee’s.\u00c2\u00a0 Frankly, I think we would’ve gotten better service at KFC!\u00c2\u00a0 I’m really beginning to despise that place.\u00c2\u00a0 If it’s not for their frozen Bailey’s capuccino, which I am addicted to, I wouldn’t even step into that loathsome place.<\/p>\n Misty and Michael decorated my cube so that was really nice.\u00c2\u00a0 I have pictures that Misty took with her camera phone.\u00c2\u00a0 I didn’t bring my camera that day.\u00c2\u00a0 Ashley brought cake, so we got to munch on that.\u00c2\u00a0 She also brought barbecue pork lo mein from Malaysia Cafe but I didn’t get to eat it until the next day because I had to eat my Applebee’s leftovers.\u00c2\u00a0 They also gave me a $70 giftcard to Abercrombie, one of my favorite ways to go broke, and that came in really handy.<\/p>\n Tonight is when the real celebrating begins, though.\u00c2\u00a0 Brian and I are having dinner at Red Rock, one of my favorite restaurants in town.\u00c2\u00a0 I love their yummy crab cakes!\u00c2\u00a0 Their rotisserie chicken isn’t bad either.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s one of the best I’ve ever had.\u00c2\u00a0 Cluck and oink all the way, yeah!<\/p>\n Then tomorrow we are celebrating with Brian’s family and my family (dad will be absent, but he’ll be sorely missed) at Rib Crib in Derby.\u00c2\u00a0 I have several pictures to share.\u00c2\u00a0 We took some great Halloween pictures which you won’t want to miss.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll post them tomorrow, so come back okay?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Never fart in an elevator — even if you’re all alone.\u00c2\u00a0 Trust me on this one.\u00c2\u00a0 You will be stuck w\/ the stench until you arrive at your floor.
