Cheesecake Factory

So last week I made plans to get dinner with one of my old roomies. We decided tonight was the night. I originally picked a place in the Village because it was close to work. Then I decided it might be better to meet near the mall because I had to pick up my laptop. (which they told me they had salvaged my documents and my pictures, but I currently can't see my pictures, I have no clue where to look,.. this is a potential warning sign for a major meltdown, but I just have too much shit to deal with right now. LIke the paper I need to write tonight. But I am blogging instead?) Back to dinner plans. I have been craving some strawberry shortcake from the cheesecake factory for a LONG time. I asked my friend and she was all about the change! yeah, success!

Before I went to the mall I decided to get a manicure and try a new place near the mall. I didn't want to drive 20 minutes away and then drive back to go to the mall so I could go to the other place I like. I walk in and tell them I just want a manicure and I sit down. The technician informs me that Taylor Swift and Kellie Picker are in there. Sure enough I look over and they are both getting a pedicure. Sitting next to me them was an older gay man with the biggest smirk on his face. I think I found my new place to go. I could care less about the celeb sighting. My technician was awesome, my nails look great, and most importantly this was the cleanest place yet!!!

Dinner. I didn't order an entree. I didn't eat the bread. I ate about 3/4 of my strawberry shortcake and it was glorious! I made the right choice. I wasn't overly stuffed like I normally am. I ate what I love and I have no regrets.

I need to pick out a hott outfit for my lunch tomorrow. I am having lunch with the ex. While I know we are just friends and we will never get back together, I still want to look good. This should be interesting, especially since I still need to write that paper ;)

I love cheesecake factory - my favorite dinner there is the romano chicken.
Good luck with lunch tomorrow, I'm sure you will look fabulous.
Email me about the photos if you can't find them, Ian and I both have Macbook Pros. Maybe we can help.

I hope the braces work out for you I'm sure once you can get the implant you will have less to worry about!

thanks again for the excellent award :)
