Celebration In Review

~ The celebration last night was held at The Lone Star restaurant with a few close friends; Shaniqua, Pete, Poopsie, and Shaniqua's folks... Ajay was noticable absent, but he'll have plenty of time to make it for that next weekend ;)

The service at The Lone Star was quite bad. 20 mins to wait for a table, at which time we were given a booth for 7 people. Shaniqua wasn't too pleased about the idea of everyone squeezing together and still trying to enjoy a meal. So... we moved to another table once it opened up, about 15 minutes later. We were never asked for a drink order, but once our tongues turned into sandpaper, we made our way to the bar where I ordered a large margaurita... which tasted more like lime than strawberry. About 45 minutes after we arrived, they took our order... chicken fajitas!! They are delicious at this place! The meal was delivered to the table approximately 30 minutes later. We all looked like deer in the headlights when the food was placed in front of us, because we had been eating chips and salsa for nearly an hour at this point waiting to order and eat our meal. Ah well, it's the first time the service here was so poor.

The highlight of the evening was Shaniqua and her Quest For The Perfect Picture (pictures to be posted after she emails them to me). It was horribly embarassing to have to keep getting up and moving around the table for different people combinations over and over :) But that's what you do for friends, indulge their craziness.

~ All in all it was a great day... including the surprise cake, lunch and card at work. I've got to get that card scanned in... I've never seen another one like it!

~ Kudos for all of the best wishes from everyone. So far 30 doesn't feel too bad... we'll see how I'm feeling on Saturday morning after our Friday night of real celebrations!
