U say it's your birthday, well, it's my birthday too.. Yeah..

Happy Birthday to Jack Nicholson and Peter Frampton,

and to our good friend Danny and my good friend and schoolmate Jeff!!!

 

Soo, for my bday dinner, thought about going to

a local Italian eatery called Salvatore's...

Until I started checking out their prices..

Yikes!  Lol.  : )..

 

Second choice was Carraba's..

Until I caught sight of their prices too..

 

Third choice was one of my favorite places..

Zio's Italian Kitchen..

We found them in Oklahoma City on a

trip a few years ago, and I just knew

that I would love them and never

have access to them after that..

Surprise!  They have one here in town!  Yay!

I've really been craving some delicious ravioli..

 

However!  I knew that Olive Garden was running

a delicious buy one, take one home deal..

I love their salad and breadsticks,

and I always love their menu items,

sooo, winner, winner, chicken, errrr..

Mezzaluna Ravioli with five cheese marinara

dinner winner..

I got the Five Cheese Ziti al Forno for lunch tomorrow,

while Dutch got the Fettuccine Alfredo..

As we were going there though..

This was the conversation..

 

"Where are we going?"

"Olive Garden."

"Whatever, it's your birthday."

"Do you want to go somewhere else?  Zio's?"

"It's your birthday."

Eyeroll.

"Besides, if we go to Olive Garden, we

won't be tempted to order an appetizer because

of their salad and breadsticks."

"Zio's has that too."

"Not for free."

"I wasn't aware you got free salad and breadsticks

from Olive Garden."

Whatever.

 

Anyway, just as I was about to snap,

I got the best birthday present ever..  : )..

It was a birthday wish from someone very special..

It's been a great, great, great day!

Lol.  Yay!
