For my birthday, I saw "The Hundred Foot Journey" and really liked it! First of all, it stars Helen Mirren- love her. Second, it is set largely in France, which is always a winner for me. I haven't been to France (yet), but it is a biggie on my bucket list. Third, the movie centers of a young chef, AKA delicious food is shown. Again, a winning topic for me. It also doesn't hurt that star Manish Dayal is pretty easy on the eyes.
I went to a theater that lets you order dinner or drinks and they deliver it to you during the movie. This may be old hat to some of you, but this is the first time I tried it and it was just as good as I expected. Relaxing in a big comfy seat, watching a movie while a server brings you hot food and a glass of wine- perfection. I ended up chit-chatting with the women sitting next to me before the movie started. (Apologies to her husband who was largely ignored.) We had a lot in common and she was really nice. Plus, she has the same name as my BFF and sister, so that is a good sign, right? At the end of the movie, the woman handed me her phone number and said to call her sometime. Since I am trying to make and take new opportunities in life, and it is the complete opposite of what I would normally do, I think I will see if she wants to meet for coffee or something.
For S's birthday, she wanted a manicure and to have lunch at Cheesecake Factory. She very specifically told me not to tell the server that it was her birthday because she didn't want them to sing to her. She did not, however, pass this information on to her dad. Can you see how thrilled she was to get all that attention?
HAHAHAHA! Once she was eating the chocolate pudding cup they brought, she was all good again. It was a great birthday, but I will not be sad to see all this extra sugar in the house go away.
