Carol, with today being her birthday and all, picked the place where she wanted to have dinner tonight. Me, being the idiot that I am, went with Barry to a Chinese buffet for lunch. I realized my problem sometime mid-afternoon when I realized I wasn't hungry.
Dinner was at Pappadeaux in Arlington Heights. Carol got a crawfish Bisque and Mahi Mahi. Me... well, I was looking for something light. That was until Joseph our server pitched the special tonight - 2 pounds of crab legs for the price of 1. So I had 2 pounds of crab legs that were sweet and meaty for $15.95. What a deal! I plowed through the crab legs, the dirty rice, the cajun corn-on-the-cob... it was wonderful. Oh, and Carol had a nice birthday dinner, too. Right now, I'm full. I feel the need to lie down...
"The Spousal Unit", also known as my wife Carol, is now as old as I am - she turned 46 today. Happy Birthday, dear!
You see, when I turn x years old in January, she starts calling me an "Old Man", because I'm "one year older" - until today when she "catches up" and becomes the same age as me.
Oh, and I know my place. I would NEVER call her an "Old Lady" today...
