A GNO @ CHEESECAKE 01-22-09

Me and Heidi

Selene, Ashley and Sarah

Before I got married, I lived in a town house up on the east bench. It was a 4 bedroom house full of girls and it was a blast! When I first moved in, I lived upstairs with a girl named....mmmm what was her name? Well anyways, she wasn't there too long when she got engaged so Ashley moved into the room next to mine. Then through her I met some fabulous friends!!! We got together for some yummy food at the Cheesecake Factory. It has been a while so it was fun to catch up and talk about the good old days! We had a lot of fun and deceided that we need to get together more often! So with all that said, I have to share my funny story about dinner...I have been TRYING (key word) to eat better so I ordered a salad...come on, salads can bee good right! Well it just happened to be the spicy chicken salad, and I love me some spicy, off the "weight managment" menu. When the girl brought our food, she was calling out the name of the entre and then giving it to the lucky winner. So when she gets to my salad, which was called the spicy chicken salad, she had to make it a point and YELL "WEIGHT MANAGMENT SALAD!" as she looked right at Heidi. Well to make the story even funnier...Heidi is tiny!!! So needless to say, if you really want to feel good about yourself, NOT, go ahead and hit up Cheesecake Factory and try to eat healthy. In an effort not to get the guilt trip from our waitress, Heidi and I split a cheesecake...but let me just say, I enjoyed every last dripping calorie :-)

Thanks again ladies for a fun night!!!
