Birthday Girl In Pink

As birthdays are celebrated over the years, it has become quite the norm to stop getting drunk on the day, and to be at work on the actual date if it's a weekday. It seems less of a big deal to have a day off if work beckons, especially when we strangely, enjoy our jobs. That's the birthday girl for you. The woman didn't mind being at work. But she still ought to be taken out to lunch. I was most certainly not going to fight with her partner and family for the coveted dinner slot. That's their precious time together. So we made a lunch date at the familiar Postbar.

No dessert for us. We don't have a sweet tooth. Plus she'd have to retain what little space she has for sugar for a birthday cake with the office and the family. :) I'll buy her alcohol. *two thumbs up* It seemed apt to have a strong Bloody Mary at lunch. One glass each would do. The red blush from the alcohol showed up nicely on the birthday girl's cheeks and offset the pink upper block of her dress. I was so tickled that the pink in my blouse matched hers, and black ruled for the bottoms. Wieeeee. Talk about telepathy between friends!

Happy birthday, dearest V, stay gorgeous. To sustained weekly runs, gym sessions, health, never-ending alcohol in ummm...moderation, and most of all, happiness.
