32 came much too quickly and there's so many ways you can compare the number of years. You could say that I've turned 4 eight times or 16 twice or that I'm midway to 64. No matter how you slice it, the number stays the same (until next year) and I'm forced to deal with reality. I thought I'd freak out this year, but I actually liked turning 32. I remember waking up on my 23rd birthday and crying for an hour because it meant I was closer to 25, which is basically 30 and after that it was all down hill. What an idiot! :)
Fernando is always so great about my birthday. Since it's only two days before Christmas, he makes sure to separate the two (which many people never did) and make it extra special for me. This year he bought me a new camera which we just had to test out before he took me to dinner.
This year we went to the Macaroni Grill. This was the first restaurant we chose when we celebrated our first un-anniversary together in Miami. This year we asked Rob and Melissa to join us.
While I'm a great fan of any great dish, I have to admit that the bread is always my favorite part of the meal and their bread is amazing- an was very necessary while I was sipping a glassful of Riesling on an empty stomach. I'm not a wino by any means and rarely drink, but when I do it hits me ten-fold. Whew!
We had a great server! He was a "little person" and cool as hell. Towards the end of our meal, he asked if I would like someone to sing to me in Italian- well hell yeah, how can I pass that up? As they brought out our dessert, another server came to our table and sang Happy Birthday- she had such a BEAUTIFUL voice and anything said/sung in Italian gets 10 stars from me any day.
After the singing, I let everybody dig in to the complimentary birthday dessert, while I dug in to the dessert that came with my meal. Holy hell, can I just tell you how amazing it was? I love anything lemon but this was unreal...
After our fun and very yummy dinner, we headed to the movie theater to catch "4 Christmases." It had it's moments, but I probably wouldn't advise spending $8.50 to go see it. That's just me. I always enjoy spending time with friends, so that made it totally worth it. After the movie, we said our good-byes and went our separate ways. We enjoyed a nice, evening alone and I even got a birthday kiss!
