How to celebrate a milestone

Dina turned 40 earlier this month, and she celebrated in grand style.  She spent the day with the kids at the Apple store.  No, I'm serious.

She also managed to finagle the kids for a bday picture and was kind enough to include me!

She went to a rip-rocking lunch at Benihana!!!  She was particularly pleased when they busted out the tambourine at the end and sang Happy Birthday to her.  Thrilled.

She forced Joe to buy her a cake from SusieCakes (you'll recall last year's debacle where she walked into SusieCakes to buy herself a birthday cake, saw a cute decorated Hello Kitty cake, purchased her cake, and when Joe got home, saw that he brought her the cute decorated Hello Kitty cake that she had seen in the SusieCake's window display).

Do you seem my little face there on the bottom right, saying "Get me up!!!"

And then she went home for naptime to ready herself for a 9pm reservation (which I'm sure she'll blog at The Dish & The Dirt).  But suffice it to say that when she woke up the next morning, she still had a full face of make up on and Joe whined about a hangover the rest of the day.

Well anyway, Happy Birthday Dina, from one bitch to another!!!
