Whatever!

I'm a firm believer that some things are meant to be, like going shopping and finding a bunch of amazing outfits that fit you perfectly and all just happen to be on sale.



Or looking at your living-room thinking it's time to get some new furniture, but you just don't have the cash. Then there's a big sale at a groovy home-decorating place down the street.



And like my birthday celebrations! The parentals and family friends gathered on Sunday for pre-birthday partying that was supposed to start at a restaurant.



My Mom scoped-out a place that had good food and a pool table a few weeks ago. She called them last week to confirm the details on Sunday's festivities, and found out the eatery had since gone out of business!



Our second restaurant choice seemed like it's on the verge of going-under. We were somewhat welcomed by a lazy, un-engaging waitress talking on her cellphone, her screaming 2-year old and a broken coffee machine. And when she finally came to take our order an hour later, she informed us there was no guacamole and there were no plans to make any. Keep in mind, this was a Mexican restaurant.



Right on cue, we finished our Corona and searched the Junction in the pouring rain to try our luck on a third place to eat and open presents. Several blocks later, we ended up at a Thai place that proved three-times is indeed, a charm!



We had great food and a fabulous waiter, Victor, who took good care of us. After that, we headed-off for some pool, in which I got totally smoked, but it was good times anyway.



So, the moral of this story is, keep your cool and all the chips will fall into place. I gotta thank Mom, Rick-Daddy, Jim, Sue, Mike & Gina for having a good sense of humour and sticking-it out in bad weather to make the celebration so much fun!



And also a big thanks to everyone on Facebook who bombarded My Wall yesterday to wish me a happy birthday too. I’m so humbled!





But Whatever!
