[carrie721]

Thanks for all the b-day wishes, guys!

Well, tonight I celebrated at midnight with my friend's mom who's in town, and tomorrow I'm having a family dinner, and then the day after my friend and I are going out to eat. I'm ... pretty boring.

Eating isn't boring.

I used to work with a bartender who called me "doll" when really he was the doll.

mainly, I just sing the song whenever I look at it. It's been a long time (which is good) since I've had it.

Not that I know of, but it's blended, and probably tasty, and smooth, hence the name.
At first I thought you were talking about the Irish song "Black Velvet Band" then I realized it had to be the power ballad, from the early 90's. Right?

Carrie, come to the Greek shows! Amber is putting lots of work into researching restaurants, and she will find something delicious for us. And then we will all sing "Crazy On you". You know, if you want to.

I'm totally planning on it! I just have to make sure I can have a couple days off from work, and then I'll book my flight! I'll know by next week.

Thanks, everyone, for the birthday wishes!

Now if I might do a little bit of whining ... I just got back from my family b-day dinner and I'm a little upset because my mother turned it into "The Mom Show" and basically gabbed and talked and showed off and essentially turned my b-day dinner into her own personal stage. I don't want or expect to be lavished with everyone's undivided attention on my b-day, but I also don't want to be alternately overlooked and poked fun at. Sorry for my iffy grammar and sentence structure here, but I haven't gotten a good night's sleep in weeks. Anyway, she also wanted to "have a discussion" with my grandmother on the completely inappropriate (and volatile) subject of the quality of my oldest cousin's homeschooling. There's a time and a place, Mom!! What finally sealed the deal was when we got in the car ... my mom asked why I got ice cream at the restaurant instead of waiting to go to Handel's (best ice cream place ever) once we got back home, and I told her I ordered it because Popo (my g-pa) was getting kind of upset that nobody else was ordering ice cream but him, and what does she say, all sarcastically? Gee, it seems like you've inherited the family trait of trying to please Popo all the time. Just an unnecessary jab.

Tomorrow should be better; my friend Abbie and I are going to do some shopping up in Cleveland Heights and then out for some Mexican food and drinking in the evening. Yay!
