Happy Birthday, Missy!

I have a dear friend who is celebrating her birthday next week and she wanted a girls luncheon as her gift from her hubby today. We really partied it up first class! We all met at her house this morning at 9:30 so we could take a limo to lunch. As soon as we got in the car at 10 a.m., the drinks were pouring. We drank champagne on the hour ride to the restaurant. I only knew a few of the girls out of the ten. I have to say, Missy has some wonderful friends. Everyone was nice and we all got along great. Lunch was absolutely delicious! We went to a restaurant her husband owns that has outstanding ratings on the Northshore. I had a crab meat bisque with tapioca pudding at the bottom, a shrimp pasta (the pasta is homemade) with olives and spices, and we all had yummy birthday cake, a banana rum cake with white chocolate icing. The hostess never stopped pouring the wine. I am not sure how much I drank. Thank goodness Jude was off work today to keep the kids. The place was beautiful and the young chef who cooked it all up was a little hottie. Before we left, we took a small tour of the fresh herb garden and the farm they use in their dishes, back behind the restaurant. On our way home, champagne was served again. Missy is great at serving drinks in motion. That girl has talent! We made one last stop at a school to pick up most of the moms kids so the cuties could go home in style. What a perfect day! Everything was complimentary, I almost felt as if it was my birthday. At 4 PM, it was time to lay down. Hangovers come fast!

Happy birthday, Missy!!
You are a great friend. I cannot think of a time we have gotten together that it wasn't fun.
May all your wishes come true:)
