Yesterday could not have been more perfect had I won the lottery. The day began with an amazing breakfast at Snooze. Right off the bat I had great service there. The hostess was super nice and excited that I was celebrating my birthday there. Our server was exceptional and had my favorite pancake, no longer on the menu, made up birthday cake style. I had a really good visit with three of my good girlfriends.
Then, I high-tailed it to my husband's coffee shop and dropped off yummy left-overs to him. One should never leave one's husband's stomach empty if one wants to have a good day.
After picking up our daughters from Grandma (Dahma as is her title) we all went to the park and had fun swinging, and drawing in the sand. Aria, my almost-three year old, loves the How To Train Your Dragon movie, and was drawing in the sand like the dragon.
We then took a nice long drive down south toward the Belmar Whole Foods. As almost always happens, everyone fell asleep on me in the car. So, I took the long way, past the beautiful French Provincial style cottage nestled in the heart of the Glen Ayrs neighborhood. This house is my dream house. We drive by from time to time hoping it will go on the market, not that we could afford to buy it.
We decided to pop in to Wystone's, a tea place, for drinks and scones. My very best friend from high school met us and we had a great time. My husband knows the owner and when she found out it was my birthday, she had a giant dessert tier delivered to our table. HEAVEN. Anytime I can have dessert, especially creme brulee, before dinner is marvelous!
We dined in the deli of Whole Foods. I had chicken korma because I love Indian food. Unfortunately, it did not love me back.
All in all, I would say that it was the best birthday in the last five years.
Now, for the serious work. I must practice tonight. I've been slacking the last couple of days.
I noticed that my speed and accuracy have been suffering lately. I cannot afford to slack off. I need to stay on top, set myself apart from everyone else in the court reporting field, and generally kick ass!
