Birthday Recap

My birthday was great :)

Marc surprised me by taking Friday off and waking up early to cook a big breakfast. I then passed out in the afternoon because I had gotten up at 6am :P. But after all that we went out to dinner. He took me to Madisons Steak house. It was pretty good, very pricey so we wont go often but still very good. I ordered a purple martini (which I am totally going to try and make at home), it was very good. We had fried calamari, Caesar Salad, and Marc had a roast steak with fries while I went with filet mignon (sp?) and vegetables. Now I shouldn't be ordering red meat as it really messes with my body but it had been a couple of months since I had read meat and I wanted to order a steak in a steak house.

After dinner I headed over to a friends house where we got drunk and played a game of life (I won!), did our nails and chatted.

Midway through the night I noticed my stomach was really itchy and after awhile I went to check it out and noticed this 3-4 inch wide red and bumpy band across my whole stomach. I was reacting to something but I couldn't figure out what. Nothing I ate was out of the norm and I had never reacted like that to red meat. On Saturday Marc was out fixing someones computer and talking about my rash/allergic reaction and they said it could have been the tenderizer they used in the steak. So i'm now wondering if that is actually possible (to react to tenderizer). Luckily it is going away, I took some allergy medication and today it's almost gone, still itchy but not as much.

Tomorrow I have an interview, I want this job so much. Wish me luck!
