Kimberly's birthday and mine are (a few years) and one week apart, so after
celebrating mine last week, it was her turn. Sadly, after the festivities last
Saturday night, she tried to wrestle with me and fell off the bed, striking
the corner of her nightstand and breaking three ribs in the process. So, she's
had a rather painful week of it, though she's definitely improving.
On her birthday eve, we ventured to our regular Friday afternoon hangout, Hamlet Kitchen, where our friend Yvonne popped in to visit with us. Then we went for an excellent sushi dinner at Yamato Japanese Restaurant, which really hit the spot since it's been a long while since either of us have had sushi.
Yesterday, to begin her birthday festivities, we went up the street to visit
briefly with friends Joe & Callie, who had helped celebrate my birthday
last week. They have this thing called "Meat Day," for which they open their
doors to just about anyone who dares enter, and Joe grills a variety of meats
all day long. Brugger is not much of a Meatosaurus, but I am, so we sampled
a few of the treats, which were awesome, and even Ms. B. approved.
From there, we headed to Greensboro, first to our regular hangout from our
days in North Carolina,
State Street Wine Company, and then for dinner at Pangaea Bistro, which we'd never tried before. Here, we met friends Terry &
Beth, Joe & Suzy, and the "other" Mark & Kim. Yep! We
definitely enjoyed the dining experience here...except, right at the end of
the meal, I took a bite of very soft potato and broke a fucking tooth. Lower
molar, busted right in two. So a trip to the dentist will be on the menu very
shortly. Uggh.
To finish off the evening, we decided to return to State Street, where
we hung out long enough to have another drink. We mellowed there for a good
while so we'd have no worries about heading back home.
So, apart from unexpected body parts breaking, Brugger and I had damn nice celebrations this year. After all these years of birthdays, I think she's finally older than I am. Cheers!
