it's all about me :-)

after what seemed like an endless celebration of other ppl's 30th birthdays in 2007, it was finally my turn :-) even though i had to work on the 28th, it didn't dampen my bday spirits at all.

i have to say i was definitely well-fed this year! one of my colleagues, laura, took me (and nugget) out to lunch at saltlik where i enjoyed the beef dip w/skinny fries...yummy! for dinner, my parents took us out for dinner at the hart house, where i demolished the crab cakes, sablefish, and vanilla bean creme brulee. as if that wasn't filling enough, we went back to their house for more dessert...cherry tarts and frozen lemon mousse! crikey that was a lot of eating!

unfortunately when i woke up on the 29th, i had caught a cold :P however, i wasn't letting that stop me from my birthday celebrations w/my nearest and dearest friends! we had dinner at the transcontinental where i enjoyed the calamari and then the halibut burger w/fries. mmm, grease! for dessert, we headed back home for ice cream...this time i made vanilla ice cream w/mint chocolate girl guide cookies and a lemon raspberry sorbet.

i think the best part of the evening though was playing rock band :-) i love the drums, and i can't wait till we get our hands on it for the ps3! poor nugget went into hiding for a bit...i'm thinking he wasn't a fan of the singing...i wonder why, mike?!?! hahaha!

all-in-all, it was definitely a fantastic 30th birthday!
