I'm older and whatnot

My birthweek was fantastic!
I had good food and enjoyed good times with good folks.
Woot!

Let's see let's see...
Thursday my Dad came by so a group of us hit a burger joint locally and hung out for a bit. Then on Friday I picked up OT here at the office, followed by dinner with the whole family at Chi Sushi here in the Woodlands. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it before, but that place is fantastic. An order of hot sake', some sushi...which my sister even tried and enjoyed. Then a big plate of tempura. Good times.
My Mom is pretty set in her ways foodwise so my Dad doesn't get to venture out and enjoy some of the more exotic things that I can tell he likes...so this was kind of a treat for him. He really enjoyed the sushi. Seeing how happy he was with the food kind of made my day...it was like a bonus birthday gift to me. heh
Afterwards, a few of us hit Coldstone at Market Street for some ice cream...because I was totally craving it and it was my birthday, so there!
Mmmm then Saturday morning I met...we'll just call her CapitalA for the moment (Monkey...please help me with a nicname for her yeah?)
I met CapitalA at the mall and the two of us ran into Hubbell and Hudsons to grab a few items for the weekend trip to Austin. Then away we went...like 2 hours later than planned...but we were on our way!
Austin was hella fun.
The sis headed up later and we all stayed at Monkey's house with her Husband and their little one. CapitalA and Monkey set up a scavenger hunt for the 12 gift cards they bought me. Had me searching around the house like a kid on Easter. It was hilarious though. I'm glad they did it. That night was a lovely dinner of roast chicken and vegetables prepared by Monkey. Oh, and CapitalA provided a crap ton of cupcakes for the weekend too.
We all stayed up drinking and playing games until the wee hour of 2330. That's right, I was in bed before midnight...because I'm old now. haha
Anyway, then sunday morning I finished my kite and we headed to the Austin Kite Festival at Zilker park. It was so much fun. We had a picnic with all the food from Hubbell and Hudsons plus fruit and drinks provided by Monkey and crew.
I got lots of compliments on the artwork for my kite...but it didn't fly. It just wasn't stable. Meh. I'm learning and I still had fun.

Okay...the minions have gathered around like a gaggle of vultures...they want to go home early. Must get to work. Have a lovely night.
