Birthday Celebration
Well, my quarter-century (EGAD) birthday was Thursday. But, I was busy most of Thursday (went to work in Wilson, plus had an AOII alumnae thing in the evening, including dinner), so other than opening presents from my parents that morning, most of my celebration was Saturday. And it was amazing.
First, got Ryan to come to a Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert with me. Granted, I paid, but his company was present enough. ;) Went with Marc and Kim, as it was cheaper to get four tickets than two (per ticket), so I decided I wanted to double-date. It. Was. AMAZING. Oh, TSO, I'm in love with you. If you have a chance to see a TSO concert and haven't before, I HIGHLY recommend it.
Second, we had planning to go to Melting Pot after for dinner. However, we both kept forgetting to call while they are open to make reservations (we kept remembering in the morning/early afternoon and they don't open until like 4:00 or something), so we called right after the concert. She said soonest available table (other than first-come-first-serve in the bar) was 9:00. But I was determined, so we headed over anyway. Turns out, we waited maybe like 15 minutes, and even got a Lover's Lane booth. Perhaps someone canceled? Anyway, it worked out well. And dinner was, of course, amazing.
Then we went home and enjoyed ourselves, I ended up napping a little bit (silly wine), and we played some WoW too.
All in all, a very enjoyable birthday celebration. :) *happy sigh*
