Thanks so much again to everyone for all your sweet wishes today! I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet all of you and feel so honored that you're all willing to share your thoughts and a small part of your lives with me each day. :) Big *HUGS* Today Mark took me out to Royal Garden for some of THE BEST dim sum ever! :D We had all of our favorites and even got a little adventurous and tried one of the more authentic dishes. ;) When we were done, we were both so full that we actually had to take a big portion of it home. As hubbaswuba has said, birthdays, anniversaries, etc don't count in the grand scheme of dieting ;), yet I know that I'll pay for this when I try to fit into my clothes on Monday morning. :P We spent the rest of the day walking around the mall across the street. I bought a few accessories for my iPod and we looked around at all the great food at Shirokiya again (which admittedly wasn't as fun because we were so full!) :P It was a lot of fun to just relax and enjoy each other's company for the afternoon. :) Mark was a sweetie and got me speakers for my iPod - which I really love. :) I also got a great Photoshop book from my friend Susan (who is my photoshop guru) ;) with the most hilarious card ever! It read: "Happy Birthday to my friend - We're just like a couple of party balloons... Bright, colorful, a little inflated, sometimes full of hot air, and we drift through life trying to avoid pricks." And under the last line she wrote "Ain't that the truth?" :D It was the best card ever! I love my friends! :D In theatre news, I just found this . Christopher Sieber AND Stephen Bogardus in the same production? And I'm missing it? :( Shocked too to see that it's being produced by Michael Wallot (who I know from his Side Show days with Kevin) - I'm not sure if it's the same Michael Wallot, but if so - that's so great for him! :) I'd better go and calm down my fuzzy dog - she's barking at someone outside our window. :P Hope you all have a wonderful evening! :)
