Friendly's ..... yeah, not so friendly

Friday night Jordon stayed at my mom's house and Abby had her first sleep over at a friends house. So kid free night, what do we do? Hit the movies, Josh has been dying to see Employee of the Month, he's a Dane Cook FREAK!!! I think he's funny too, but not as much as Josh does. Truth be told? The movie was not as funny as I thought it'd be. But I'm straying from the point.....after the movie we are starving! We decide to hit Friendly's for some food, they have great everything. When we pull up I see they are open till midnight, and it's now 11:24pm (on the dot!) so we go in. I mean I work in a mall, we're open till 9:30pm, customers can come in till 9:30pm. So as we're walking in, before we even get to the hostess counter, I see the girl shaking her head. When we get to her she says "Are you just getting ice cream?" and I reply "No." so she say "Well we close at 12 is that okay?" (all snotty like) so I look at her all innocence and say "As long as my food comes out with enough time for me to eat it that'll be fine." as I give her a big fake smile. So she has an attitude but takes us to the table.
The waiter was great, I asked if there was anything I could not order since it was late, and he said no. That they were still open so I could have whatever I wanted. Since he was nice I was nice. I got him our order as fast as I could and didn't dilly dally. Meanwhile the snotty hostess is chatting with her friends over in this corner, and I know she's talking about me, so I keep giving her snotty looks (yes I know it was childish, but she was really irking me!).
Anyway, we ate and finished before this group of people that were there before we even got there. So as we're walking out, the hostess is by the door, Josh looks at his watch and goes "Nicole? What time is it?" and I go "Oh look at that, it's 11:56pm four minutes before closing." and then I turned and gave her another big fake smile. lol.
So that was a fun night. ah ha.

JD and my birthday dinner

He's such a cutie isn't he!
Monday was my birthday, as you all know, so JD said we'd go out for dinner. My mom and sister came over to stay with the kids. I wanted to go to The Cheesecake Factory. JD swears he knows how to get there. Did her? Nope....Did he let me call a freind to ask how to get there? Nope. Okay so you may think I was getting annoyed but really for some reason I wasn't. But I was really really hungry. So finally after a million wrong turns I get to call someone. Turns out we did pass it once. Don't know how, it is huge. But anyway. We get in at around 7:10pm, they say it's a 15-30 min. wait. Okay, I can handle that.
.....35 min. later......I walk up to the hostess and ask when we're gonna be seated, we have been there over the time she told me. She says they are a little backed up and it should be 10 more minutes.
........15 min. later.......I'm getting pissed! I am hungry! It's my damn birthday! FEED ME!!!! I get kinda bitchy when I'm hungry.
FINALLY after over an hour wait we are seated.
From this point on there is really no complaints. We got to sit outside, which made me happy. It was freezing inside. We got these really yummy buffalo chicken appetizers, they were like shredded buffalo chicken fried served with hot sauce and blue cheese. We both go Mojitos (did I spell that right???), JD got this yummy orange glazed chicken, and I got Jamaican Black bean Shrimp with Mango salsa. See told you I love anything mango. Ha ha. Then I got Key Lime cheese cake. OMG to die for. I hate cheese cake, but this??? You couldn't even tell. It was sooo freaking good. We didn't end up getting home till around 10pm. But we had a good time. We don't get to go out alone much, so it was a nice birthday treat.
