Cindy Lou: My Birthday!!!

I woke up this morning thinking 'Crap, I should've taken off work' so instead I laid in bed longer than I should've when Joshua woke up. Thinking he'd turn over and say 'Happy Birthday!' but instead turned over and said 'What time do you work?'. As I got ready for work and Joshua slowly woke up...still nothing. He totally forgot! I could've said something right then and there but I decided not to and see how long it'd be until he remembered.

I was bartending at work that morning/afternoon and got super busy. It was pretty stressful. I was suppose to be done at 5 but got done closer to 6. All day long, I was waiting for a phone call or text from Joshua but nothing. At least I made a bunch of money!

My friend Meghan invited me to go downtown to see Piano Fondue, dueling pianos. But first, after I got done working, I had a birthday drink and shot. I went home and changed but before meeting Meghan, I headed over to the Marriott to see Joshua and tell him what he forgot.

I get there and he's excited to see me. Well then, maybe he remembered! Nothing. He asked me what I was doing there. I told him that he forgot something. He said he forgot the cheesecake pan because he was going to make a cheesecake for me that I had asked him to make several days ago.

I then tell him that it was my birthday. His face fell hard and I had to keep from laughing. He said he was the worst husband ever. I gave him the benefit of the doubt since he had gotten a concussion weeks earlier and I'm not much of a celebrator of any holiday anyways (I did work on my birthday instead of taking off like most people do in my line of work). Nevertheless, he promised to make it up to me.

I went back to Old Chicago to meet up with Meghan and her boyfriend Brian before heading downtown to meet up with our friend Melissa. Big mistake on my part. By this time, everyone at work knew it was my birthday and so did some of the regulars. I had a few more shots and drinks in a very short amount of time before we left OC.

When we got to the Brink Lounge to see Piano Fondue, I had to make a quick pit stop off the sidewalk. Ugh! But I felt much better and was ready to enjoy the dueling pianos. I had a lot of fun listening and singing along. Joshua had even left work early to join in on the fun. His first time ever at a dueling piano event. The night went by fast but I had a lot of fun!
