Birthday luck?

Yeah, today is my birthday. And I am celebrating it with a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon. I don't realize until today that how lonely it is to spend a birthday without friends and family around. I shouldn't complain too much though because several unexpected things happened today.

First, I got a call from a local newspaper saying that I won a drawing for a $60 i-tune giftcard. Wow.... I have never won any lucky draw... except for those that guaranteed a winner. Anyway, what a surprise. You know... I just bought an ipod nano. A perfect prize!

Second, I went to Applebee's for dinner. Yeah... a chain restaurant. I hate to go to some fancy restaurant all by myself. Plus, there are no fancy restaurants around town. Anyway, I ordered my food and it took forever for the food to come. The food was ok. The steak was overcooked a bit (I ordered medium rare, came medium well) and the skewered shrimps were... arh... a bit raw. I didn't realize the raw shrimps until the restaurant manager came and apologized for the delay. He looked at my shrimps and commented that they were a bit raw and that he wouldn't eat them if he were me. But I had already eaten a whole skewer. He went to the kitchen and brought me another two skewers of shrimps. And he took the whole dinner entree off my check. I ended up only paying for my Miller Lite.

Third, I went to K-mart and did some grocery shopping. Haagen-Daz on sale! YEAH! I got my favorite Rum Raisin and a new flavor, Almond Hazelnut Swirl. Yum... I am now deciding which one to have first. Maybe I'll do the almond hazelnut tonight.

So... I guess I am a lucky guy today. Birthday luck maybe.
