Saturday was my dear husband's glorious day of birth..haha and we had a pretty awesome night out for it. One of his friends had rented a van that could have held about twice as many people than it was holding that night..we of course called it the "party bus." Our first stop was "Big Pie in the Sky Pizzeria"...if anyone watches the Man vs. Food show you may have seen this place on the Atlanta episode. Its a small restaurant in a strip mall and definitely could have used more room, when we first got there, there were tons of people standing around waiting for a table..and it was seat yourself so everyone was vulturing over the people finishing eating haha so two of our party members went and sat down at a table with a family finishing their bucket o beer so we'd have somewhere to sit our decent sized group. We had ordered TWO of the thirty inch carnivore pizzas..and I, being the only one of the group that doesn't care so much for bacon and sausage (don't attack, i do love it with breakfast in small quantities..especially dipped in maple syrup..just not on pizzas..) ordered two slices of feta and pineapple pizza. They didn't actually do the "carnivore challenge" (two people eating one of the thirty inch pizzas loaded with tons of meat..one pizza is about 11 lbs..in one hour and no barfing) on weekends because it's so busy there, but they made and sold them.. so up came two of those huge wagon wheel sized pizzas and my two slices that were bigger than my head. Surprisingly the group only had less than two slices left over of the carnivores and i had about half of a slice left of mine. MAN we were full. Now Robbie really wants to try the carnivore challenge. Haha
Next we went to a liquor store Robbie and I had found called "total Wine and More" that we wanted to show our friends. It had..well of course tons of different wines, as well as many aisles of beers we'd never seen or heard of and some we'd tried in the Bahamas on our honeymoon and were excited to see again..and found a schnapps we'd been looking for and couldn't find elsewhere called "Creme de noyaux" I think its spelled. Anyhow, we all had a fun time in there for about an hour..then headed off to Dave and Busters. Wow, that place is crowded on Saturdays. Half the machines were out of tickets..but it was still a good time. I think he enjoyed his birthday pretty well.
The next day I wanted to celebrate with just the two of us. We went to Douglasville and went to Garden Ridge to see if they had any new oriental looking decor or our themed dining room we've been slowly adding stuff to..its hard to find that sort of thing around here usually, just has to be at the right place and the right time. We ended up stumbling into one of those birds again..you know, like the ones I posted a picture of sometime last month that I loved for some reason I'm still not sure of..but I still loved it and there was only one left..so Robbie picked it up and said.. "sigh..one left, it was meant for you" and handed it over. I said "But you hate it!" He says "Yes..but you love it so its okay." LOL so we ended up buying it. We miraculously found a good place to put it in our living room..it matched our wall color somewhat..I mean it looks a bit out of place, we have no other bird like things in the house but I smile when I look at it and I named him "Ichabod Reginald Crane." Well, he looks like a Crane so you get most of it but Reginald just seemed to add character. My best friend said something was wrong with me, but my mom said we all have our tastes..and Lenore the cat already tried to paw at its beak from the bakers rack shelf we put her food on. I suppose it will be a nice conversation piece. Lmao. Anyhow, after Garden Ridge, Robbie and I went to Outback and got huge slabs of still bleeding prime rib, our favorite meal there. Of course blooming onion as well. I need to eat salad for the next month.
