Late Night

Just got home from a fun night out with the McKinnons.  Matt’s sister’s in town so we all went out to eat at Cheesecake Factory for dinner.  I was very excited since this restaurant made my list of possible birthday dinner options.  I even got to have sushi for lunch, so 1st day of bday weekend was shaping up nicely.  We ordered several appetizers so I got to sample the Sweet Corn Tamale Cakes, Guacamole, Avocado Eggrolls and Buffalo Blasts. I ended up ordering one of my go to items off the menu, Stuffed Chicken Tortillas.  (my other go to is the Thai Chicken Pasta)  I was trying to be more adventurous and branch out, but I’ve had most things off the menu.  I was eyeing the Portobello Mushroom Burger but once the waitress came around I folded and pressured myself into the go to item.  We ordered a couple cheesecakes and I had a few tastes of the Fresh Banana Cream and Key Lime Cheesecakes.  Matt’s mom had them bring me a little scoop of ice cream with a candle, luckily she told them not to sing.  Yummy description of my night.  After dinner I went to see the new Harry Potter with Matt and his sister.  Not everyone was up for a movie so we went off on our own.  We had all rode together so Matt’s dad dropped us off at the movies and then we had to call and have him pick us up at 1am!  So we had our middle school moment tonight waiting for dad to pick us up at the curb. I was sad to say I didn’t remember a lot from the last movie, so I was a bit lost in some parts.  I swear I can never remember all these character’s names. They have all such strange and long names I just can’t keep track.  But the movie was good.  I’m not obsessed with the series nor have I read the books so I was not one of the strange people clapping at the end.  So it’s after 2am and I’m trying to wind down.  I’m supposed to go to the gym by 9am.  I hope I can get up!
