Happy Birthday to me! I keep thinking today of one of my favorite conversations from my most favorite movie of all time….see if you can guess what movie it’s from…

S:  No, no, no, I drove him away. AND, I’m gonna be forty.

 H: When?

S:  Someday.

H:  In eight years.

S:  But it’s there. It’s just sitting there, like some big dead end. And
it’s not the same for men. Charlie Chaplin had kids when he was 73.
H:  Yeah, but he was too old to pick them up.

Man I love that movie and I think I’m gonna have to watch that one today and maybe even make Carey watch it with me.  LOL  Carey scheduled a Bonsai class today with some famous Bonsai master and is gone all day.   Bella is at my mom’s hanging out and here I sit at home by myself, I get to watch whatever I want on TV (and right now that would be Robin Hood: Men in Tights LOL), maybe scrap…that very rarely happens so it’s nice.   

Last night Carey did take me to a very cool restaurant called Gyu-Kaku over at Victoria Gardens which is a Japanese BBQ where they have little grills in your table and you cook your own food.  I ran across it on a fluke, just looking for somewhere to go.  We decided to get the most expensive platter of meat which consisted of 3 different kinds of Kobe beef, Filet Mignon, Chicken and Shrimp, then we added in Japanese sausage, some butter fish, sauteed mushrooms, vegetables and garlic rice…OMG YUM!  And whatever meat you liked they would bring out more….it was unlimited and there was also an unlimited sushi bar with rolls and other stuff too.  We ate SOOOOO much food and I felt like I was waddling out of there.  There were so many things about this place that were just absolutely fabulous.  They had 80’s music playing and not the cheesy 80’s music…like INXS, Men At Work, The Bangles, Talking Heads…yeah totally cool.  Then as if cooking meat on the grill wasn’t cool enough for dessert they had smores to cook!  Although I was too full of meat to eat smores so we had to forgo that bit of heaven unfortunately….had I known that I wouldn’t have had another serving of filet mignon.   Carey and I tried to eat our $90 worth of Kobe beef and I think we did.

Friday night we had the Burris’ over and cooked some Greek food and Jacki showed up with a Mud Pie birthday cake for me which was just completely awesome and yummy! 

So turning 36 isn’t so bad even though 40 IS just right around the corner…I have so many loving people in my life and have had a great time so far so heres to another wonderful 36+ years!
