Happy Birthday Festivities to Me!

garnigalI had a great birthday, turning 39 on Friday. Derek took us out to dinner on Friday, eventually. They had a mail issue at work, so he was stuck there until after 7pm. Veeps kept walking by asking if they could order dinner for him and the other guy working on it, and Derek kept saying "can't, gotta go out to dinner with my wife for her birthday" whereupon they got very apologetic and slightly horrified. One of them called Derek just before he left the office saying "I've been driving around trying to find a florist to send flowers to your wife, but they are all closed!" A very kind thought, but as Derek said to them I'm used to being an IT widow. :)
We did finally get food. :)
On Saturday, we taught our TKD class. It's been interesting teaching without our head instructor to second guess us. I'm much more comfortable with the Peewees now (4-7) and while Derek still struggles with the Juniors/Adult class (8-they don't want to tell us), he's figuring out how to fit everything into the limited class time we get. We do have an advantage in that we haven't had a full complement of students due to March break and just the fact that without Master Jen a lot of people are taking a break, but it's a lot easier to get into a rhythm without someone else (who has accepted all of the risk) giving her two cents.
After lunch and a nap, we headed off for the real birthday fun. Dropped VV at my aunt's, and we went to an Escape Game in Mississauga. The set dressing and space wasn't as impressive as the one we did in Nov, but the game was definitely challenging. We won one and lost one, and I can't believe anyone would ever win the second game. The final code is damn near impossible! Then dinner at a very odd steakhouse (great food, but all middle aged male waiters - we're thinking Mafia front), and back to get Vv who was still awake at 10:30.
Needless to say, we all slept in on Sunday. :)
