Her birthday cake was really cool.  It&#8217;s the coolest &#8220;grownup&#8221; birthday cake I&#8217;d ever seen.  I say that because kids always have really neat birthday cakes, and adults have boring rectangular ones.  Well, this one was rectangular but it was very creative.  I liked all the details, including the label on the shoebox and the little chocolate shoes.  The cake was yummy also.  <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/6064092158\/\"  title=\"2011-08-20 20.53.38.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6196\/6064092158_675f2567b6.jpg\" width=\"500\" class=\"pic\" height=\"375\" alt=\"2011-08-20 20.53.38.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Not really part of the diet, but Brian and I made an exception.  Besides, we didn&#8217;t each have a piece.  We just shared one slice between the two of us.  Though, I must confess, I ate three little chocolate shoes that night.  And I also ate the mint chocolate stick that the restaurant gives you at the end of your meal.

Brian and I are not familiar with the band and I still owed him our anniversary movie, so we split with the group and went to see <a type=\"amzn\">Crazy, Stupid, Love<\/a>.  It was actually pretty good.  It starts out kind of slow, but the climax is really funny.  It comes together really well at the end.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/6064150766\/\"  title=\"2011-08-20 21.43.24.jpg by Ching, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"pic\" src=\"http:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6192\/6064150766_c415128158.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"2011-08-20 21.43.24.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>P.S. I wore my shiny gray futuristic-looking Bebe dress last night.  So we were a tad over-dressed for the movies.  I was only in a denim skirt and my favorite white BR tank when Jenni and Anthony showed up last night.  But, after seeing what Jenni was wearing, I figured I was under-dressed for dinner and should change.  You know people say something, but their facial expression really tells a different story?  She told me I didn&#8217;t have to change clothes, but the look on her face said I did.  Thank God I was able to find a dress that fits!  I also relished the opportunity to wear my WH|BM slingbacks that I&#8217;ve only worn twice since I&#8217;ve gotten it.  The first time at Nick and Carmen&#8217;s wedding and then again at Richard and Amy&#8217;s wedding.  I was lame and wore the same outfit to both weddings.  =P  Come to think of it, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve worn <a href=\"http:\/\/brubakers.us\/?p=4457\" >that WH|BM dress<\/a> since then.  I hope it still fits!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We attended Carla&#8217;s birthday dinner last night at Bella Luna Cafe. Her birthday cake was really cool.
