| Will's going in for the kill! |
In case you've never been to one of these places, here's a quick overview. Everyone gets to enjoy a salad bar that is definitely more involved than your standard salad bar. From there you choose what "level" you want to order - your level depends on what meats you are offered. The rest of the night is spent getting table-side visits from guys carrying different skewers of assorted meats, and when you see something you like they shave off a piece for you.

| Will, Andy, and Bipul all ordered the "Gold" |
 |
| The ladies went with the "Silver" |
 |
| I don't think I need to see anymore red meat anytime soon! |
I am happy to say I tried the salmon, and sad to say I still don't like it. Of all of the different meats we tried, all of the different creative options at the salad bar, do you know what my favorite part of the whole meal was? The mashed potatoes. They were so good!!! Since it was a birthday dinner, we of course had to order dessert. We all got different things and tried each others. All of the desserts were really good.
 |
| I especially enjoyed my churros! |
Saturday was a mix of work and play. I worked job number two in the morning, then ran around getting food and drinks for Andy's birthday party. I even managed to score a bottle of the wine being served at the Inaugural Luncheon, which I thought was pretty special.
I must say the party was a success - even Elvis came to the party!

| He's on the guitar o' popcorn! (which we are now using as a piggy bank) |
We played "The Game of Things" (thank you Katie and Scott for getting it!) - I think this is the funniest game of all time. Sadly Lisa wasn't able to come because she got sick after getting home from Espada (no, we don't think Espada made her sick), but her sickness turned out to be quite the source of inspiration for our game...
 |
| The prompt was: Things you wouldn't want to clean... |
Poor Lisa! Here are some other pictures from the game...
 |
| Bipul deep in thought (apparently holding a pen to his nose helps his creativity) |
 |
| Rose also deep in thought... ;) |
 |
| Scott - raising his hand; what a good sportsman! |
There will be more game nights in our future - I'm sure of it!
Sunday was the actual official birthday. After sleeping in and being lazy for awhile, I took the birthday boy out for breakfast.
 |
| They had trivia at our table - he did very well! |
The rest of the day was spent in Buffalo. Andy's mom made dinner and both of his grandmothers made the trip out to celebrate with him, which was pretty special. :-) I must say Andy handled turning 30 with grace. I hope I manage the transition as well as he did.
Monday... drumroll please.... the office was closed!!!! I spent my morning at the gym with Sarah watching the Inauguration. Then I honestly spent the rest of the day in a sad mopey funk. My beautiful Seneca7 Relay I thought I had organized is all falling apart and at this point, I'm not feeling very convinced it will happen. Sooo I tortured myself by going through all of my 2012 race pictures (thinking I was being productive but really it all just made me even more sad because I remembered how fun all of the races were, and know how fun the relay COULD be, and then thought about all the fun I probably wouldn't be having because it's probably not going to work out). :-( But once I laid out all of the races I'd done last year, I must say I was pretty impressed. I ran a lot last year...

| 13 races in 2012 |
If you've read all the way to here, I must say I'm very impressed! Thanks for sticking through this post with me. Now I'm back at job number one... have to go to job number two soon.... I've already had a baddie that I wasn't planning on... so I'm not having a good day. Tuesdays are never my favorite days, and job number one is having their annual meeting tomorrow which has the potential to go up in flames. I know I'm already stressed about tomorrow, and tomorrow isn't even here yet! I really need to get a grip.
