it's my birthday, too, yeah...

so drunk he lost control of his tongue

no, seriously... we had some beers, some cocktails, but nothing crazy. overall it was a peaceful, relaxing, meandering day.

i made french toast for breakfast (note to self: the thing that made it so good this time was the addition of a splash of vanilla and maple syrup to the eggs & milk... that, and good hearty italian bread). after that we rather aimlessly left the house. we found ourselves at the outdoor bird company where we looked at many, many feeders (including one that has a battery-powered motor that spins the perch in order to hurl squirrels away), but left with nothing in-hand.

then ray decided he wanted to have a steak and beer for dinner (see photo above) and we ended up at firebirds at southpoint. a good choice.. both his steak and my burger were pretty darn good.

ray wanted to buy some clothes, so into the mall we went. he found everything on his list including a beautifully-fitting pair of running shoes), which he purchased as i tested out the store's foot-scanner. (intended, i think, to determine the shape of your arch, as well as where the most pressure rests on your feet... the results are supposed to help you purchase the best insoles for your shoes.)

after a quick stop in nordstrom we were both ready to call it a day, deciding finally to skip an earlier idea of maybe seeing a movie.

when we got home we watched another episode of the sopranos and then took a trip out to francesca's.

this was ray's birthday, but i think i enjoyed it every bit as much as he did. (shopping and eating... two of my most favorite things!)
