Best B-Day *ever*

I achieved a great milestone in my life yesterday -- surviving yet another year in this crazy world of ours.

Slept in and arrived to work "late" (8am), and worked.

If you read any of my old journals, you'll know that most of my entries (especially around holidays) centered around food. Today will be no exception: had a Ted's Montana Grill bison burger for lunch, an ice cream cake (shared with a co-worker who also had a b-day), some diet Coke and a quesadilla at the Crown Plaza (went out for "drinks" with some of the office crew), and then a cajun "cowboy-style" 28 oz rib eye at Ray's The Steaks (most of it is home in the fridge).

Left work early (6pm) for "drinks," then Jill took me out to dinner (see above).

The funny thing is, several co-workers told me that I needed to go out to "Ray's The Steaks" (or Ray's Hell Burgers--only open on the weekend) to get some really good local grub. I told Jill to just surprise me with our dinner choice -- and I was game for anything -- but "Ray's The Steaks" was the *perfect* pick. Lots of fun, and complete yumminess.

Went home, did my scavenger hunt (a little tradition we've continued) and opened presents.

What a great day. One year older, and wiser, too ... ?
