Happy birthday to me!


Friday was my 23rd birthday, hooray! I went to work in the morning, and Charles and Oliver brought me a lemon tart with a candle in it during our pre-service meeting, awww. The shift was really busy, so hopefully I made a bajillion dollars. Grabbed a sandwich and headed home to decorate the cake, shower, get dressed, and turn around again to meet Matt at Patsy's for dinner. We had their amazing pepperoni pizza and agreed that if it turned out that the pepperoni was actually made out of people, we would still eat it. Headed up to Me Bar, the location of my party. It's on the 14th floor of the La Quinta hotel on 32nd street, which means it's on the roof and they have a big rooftop patio under the light of the Empire State Building. It was a beautiful day, which meant it was packed, but with the help of Hannah, Ben, and Atsuko, we staked out a spot outside in the corner. Throughout the night a bunch more people showed up, from Bouchon and CAP, and we ate mayonnaise cake and had a lovely time. By 1:30 I was pretty much asleep, so we called it a night and Matt, Randy, and I took a cab home. Thanks so much to everyone who called or emailed or sent a card, it was so nice to hear from you!

So--would you say the party at the bar was all about Me?? Why not--it was your birthday!

Happy Birthday, again. Glad you enjoyed it.
