A weekend full of birthdays

This weekend Mr. Potts and I celebrated three birthdays. Phew! Talk about being exhausted. Friday night we went to dinner at Las Ramblas with a group of friends to celebrate Mr. Potts. Dinner was excellent & the sangria there is to die for! It was so good that we decided to go out after dinner - and then kept going until 2am. Mr. Potts also decided (at 4am) that a bath was in order. I told him the next day that he could have drowned since he kept falling asleep in the tub!
The shirt he is wearing here? Not the one he went in with. One of our friends got it for him from the restaurant. On the back it says, "Strong like bull".

Saturday we went and celebrated with another friend. This involved chicken wings, can eating and bowling. Yes - can eating! The birthday boy has a special talent of being able to "eat" a can top off. He did this on Saturday in a quest to get on the radio. Yes, he was highly intoxicated by this point.

Mr. Potts and one of my best girlfriendsShe's not a graceful bowler...
The shenanigans of the can...The finished product.
Sunday was just as busy with Mr. Potts and me taking care of my beautiful niece and precious nephew all day & then grilling out that afternoon for both her birthday (5th) and Mr. Potts'.

I need another weekend to recover from this one!

Dinner tonight with friends

Tonight we're going to dinner to celebrate Mr. Potts' birthday with a group of our friends. We're going to Las Ramblas - our favorite tapas place ever!! One of my favorite things to get is the Fried Goat cheese - it's served with almonds, roasted garlic & quince honey. Oh yum!

I have to admit though that I was a bit irritated after I sent the original email to our group of friends asking who'd like to come. Originally, dinner was supposed to be Saturday night. I received a response back from someone that he and his wife were planning on celebrating his birthday that same day, just earlier in the day. In the form of a bar crawl. Well, he never waited to see if I responded (I was on vacation & was pretty sporadic about checking email) and his wife sent out the email invitation the next day after I had already sent mine.

I was irritated. I wonder why she couldn't push the plan back one week and do it next Saturday. Because they planned to start at Noon and go til about 6pm. I had already the day before said dinner would be at 7pm. Even if I had pushed it back an hour, it still would have been not so fun - most people by that point would be falling down drunk. A few weren't going to be able to celebrate Mr. Potts' because they had already committed (before either emails were sent) to the all day bar crawl.

So I moved the dinner to Friday night. People are still coming, but I'm disappointed that a friend of mine didn't call me after I sent my email to talk to me about it, but just pushed ahead.

Am I wrong to be a little irritated?

I do tend to get upset more easily & dwell on things like this. So I should be over it by Sunday.

Happy Happy Friday!!!
