My Day Gets Better

What a lovely evening I had tonight. Yes, it was my birthday evening and my sweetie had a little something planned for me. I knew I was going to Gertrudes and yes that happened but there were a few other surprises to come before.
Sweets got home from work and we headed back into rush hour traffic. But that's OK, we picked up the latest Jack Johnson cd so even honking traffic was a breeze.
We headed south to Federal Hill and sweets took me to cupcake happy hour at the Baltimore Cupcake Co. It was cute, really. But there was no seating inside so we bought a 1/2 dozen cupcakes with no place to go. Hmm. Luckily, lust behind the building on Fort St. was a middle school with a small playground. So, being as that we're a cute couple, we walked to the playground, sat on a big wooden structure and ate cupcakes. It was really sweet. It's not what we expected but when I stopped and looked around at where we were and what we were doing it was just precious. Thank you, sweetie.
We then headed St. Patricks around the corner on Andre St. for a quick cider before our table was ready at Gertrudes.
Gertrudes was lovely as expected and I had a lovely birthday dinner. I don't feel like being a critic right now so I'm not going into detail with the meal but it was splendid nonetheless.

So I'm home now and have to get on with the next phase of birthday cheer...and bloggin' aint on the agenda.

Cheers!

Going to Gertrudes Tonight

Tonight for my birthday I'm going to Gertrudes at the BMA. I've been to this restaurant once before and loved it. And what could be better for a Schott birthday but a freugal one at that. Tuesdays Gertrudes has $10 entres so I can get a great gift and not break the bank. I hope she doesn't think I'm being cheap and should splurge on my birthday. A person can have those feelings when the ones they love don't want fancy things and are not as pleased when you get them fancy gifts anyway.
But really, this was probably as good as, if not better than, the other two choices. And I can save the people I love a buck or two. I pitty da fool who don't love ta save the people they loves a buck or two!

Cheers

Benefits of the Blind.

Happy Birthday to me again, it is still the day of thy.

I got off early today and was home by 3pm. Jumped in the shower because I took the morning off. I can take my birthday off from showering. It's not like I'm going to do any work today.

So back to living in the now.

It's 3pm and I jump in the shower (insert cute pizza delivery guy forum image here) in a nice bright bathroom. Taking a shower at 3pm always makes me feel like I just woke up prior. And any day when I wake up at 3pm is already a damn fine day!

Oh yea, it's also nice to take a shower with my contact lenses already in. How many times do I shower like that? About every time I shriek "Holy shit! How long has my shower been this damn ass filthy?!"

I swear! I'm blind as a bat in the morning. There could be baby snakes (they live in a hole hole, a holy hole) escaping into the drain and I wouldn't notice.

Thankfully today I saw no baby snakes.

Ugh...I hope I've forgotten about the filthy shower by tomorrow morning when I'm blind again.


Cheers.

I'd like to thank Frank Zappa for the Baby Snakes.
