Tuesday Birthday Randomness


So today is my birthday. Happy birthday to me!

I have 3 briefs due today. And I have to be in court at 2 in Newark on a case where these people are shocked and dismayed that they are being foreclosed on when they haven't made a mortgage payment since January 2007.

I have to say...if they can get away with living rent free in their home for 18 months, why the hell am I working my ass off to pay all my bills every month?

Tomorrow I head off to Boston. It's a mix of work and not. Since technically I now work for my father, I have to play nice with the big wigs at his client's offices. All they want to do is catch a game at Fenway and then drink at Cheers afterward. Sounds like my kind of people... unless they're Red Sox fans. Then I may have to throw a beer at them. ;)

Hubby totally surprised me by taking me into the City for my birthday. We saw Rock of Ages - which was awesome, despite starring Constantine Maroulis. How could you go wrong with a musical based on 80s music? Hubby loved it too - though I'm not sure whether he enjoyed the actual show or the women cruising around in lingerie for most of the performance.

We had dinner at the Mesa Grill - also fantastic. But I'm sure Bobby Flay never intended the view out of his restaurant to be of a horde of protesting lesbians marching around topless. I have no problem with topless women - if you have the body, by all means, flaunt it. But why is it that the ones walking around half naked were the ones who needed to be covered up the most? Train wreck.

But I did get to try the coconut layer cake that won a Throwdown. (I couldn't end this post with topless women. I just couldn't do it.)

Happy Birthday! I'm glad Constantine didn't take down the show because I would have thought he could do that singlehandedly.

And where are all the restaurants with the half nekkid men? Really...where are they?

I live near Va Beach, and everytime I go to the beach, there are tons of dangerously overweight people walking around in the tiniest bathing suits. Trust me when I say, it was worse before we outlawed thongs.

i had to think for a minute as to who that Constantine guy was...i can't believe how a little publicity can all of a sudden make you talented?

and drinking with the bigwigs for work?

sounds full of awesome to me:)

Happy birthday! There are worse things to do for work than a baseball game and hanging out at a bar. Enjoy!

Rock of Ages sounds great and Mesa Grill sounds even better (even with the topless lesbians). I haven't been there in years.

Cara said...

Happy birthday! What better than topless women who should put the robe right back on to end the festivities?

Valerie said...

Happy Birthday!!

For Otin, you should have started and ended the post with topless women!!!

Ms. Salti said...

Happy Birthday, my love! I'm with you... if you've got it, flaunt it. If not, cover it up like the rest of us!

Don't work too hard, and have a beer for me. Don't throw anything at the clients... if you end up in jail I'll miss you!

Auri said...

Happy birthday Jaime!! I'm so happy Erica introduced me to your blog. I've really enjoyed reading it. Doesn't sound like you had the most relaxing bday I can think of... but I guess that's all part of wearing big girl panties. So... why didn't you run out and go topless too? Sounds like fun=)

Blue eyes said...

Arrrrgh! They say its your birthday....(Singing in a gruff voice)

Brian Miller said...

18 friggin' months and no mortage payment? And I get kicked out after only 3? WTF? Losing the job was bad enough( back then in '06 ). I swear I'll never buy another house! Maybe I can squat in one...

Sorry 'bout that! Anyway, happy birthday( albeit a bit belated ). You should take the day of to celebrate, yes?
