More Happy Birthday to me: Barb Made Carrot Cake
Last night Ashley and Barb took me out for dinner at Umi's--YUM!--and then to Parlor 88 for drinks. It was so much fun!!!!
This is so cool--Barb made cake! Homemade carrot cake that was sooooooo yummy. Just perfect. She didn't even know carrot cake is one of my all time favorites--how's that for great birthday telepathy?
Isn't it wonderful? I just loved it.
I totally wasn't expecting a cake or anything like that, just thought we were hooking up for dinner and using my birthday as an excuse. I don't even have words to say how moved and surprised I was. That's one of the nicest things ever.
They also got me a present that was so perfectly me it was frightening. Aunt Sally will be so jealous! At Spencer's they found a talking parrot who cusses in both PG and R versions. My absolute favorite of his parrot pronunications was "Who's a ****er now?" LOVED it!
Gene went with us for dinner and then left us to girls night alone. It was a Tuesday night so Parlor 88 wasn't "hopping" with a crowd but we had fun just hanging out trying new cocktail combos and chatting. Those kinds of get togethers are my favorites, you know where you're just relaxed and happy to be with friends chatting away about life and everything or nothing at all.
Sigh. So fun! Thanks you guys!

Carrot cake looks good.
