Happy 31st Birthday to Me

I am officially 31. No, I didn’t do 31 things on my 31^st birthday, but I still had a great day.

It started off with my favorite activity…writing at Starbucks. Normally, I would just get tea, but since it was my birthday I treated myself to a chai tea latte (“And now I’m a big old chai tea latte, soy milk kind of guy” - Best in Show)

Then, I met Meg at The Bongo Room in South Loop and she treated me to a delightful brunch. Their vegetarian croissant sandwich is amazing.

So, I know you’ve seen these strange bear commercials for the confetti cake blizzard at Dairy Queen. Well, I’ve been trying to eat healthy, so I planned to treat myself to one on my birthday. So, Meg and I walked five miles to the DQ and they didn’t have it. The woman behind the counter said they were supposed to be out for thirty days, but they were only out for fifteen. Apparently, it was not as tasty as it looked on the commercial. Anyway, I got the old stand by, mint oreo.

For dinner, Zach, John, Kirstin, Gunnar, and I went to Jury’s. We hadn’t been there in awhile and they have an awesome patio.

Thanks everyone for the cards, facebook wall posts, phone calls, and texts. Turning 31 was completely pain-free!
