Yet another fabulous weekend:
On Friday I watched Sleeping Beauty, the ballet, at the Artscape Opera House. This was my first time at a proper ballet (with all the sparkly costumes etc.), and I thought it was brilliant. To all those losers who I invited and didn’t come and left me to go on my own, you guys really missed out. The orchestra was great and the dancers were well…they can do impressive things like stand on their toes with one foot in the air. It was by far the most graceful thing I have seen. Naturally I was one of about 10 brown people that were there which felt a bit odd, but they (the non-brown people to be politically correct) were really nice telling me to move in closer from my seat at the edge of the row to ones closer to them. It really was a great experience and I’m looking forward to going to another ballet.

I have decreased my KFC consumption because I’m pretty sure that the Streetwise 2 Meal is solely responsible for the ten kg’s I can’t lose. In the evening my wonderful boyfriend took me out for dinner to this restaurant to celebrate the day before my birthday (the restaurant was not opened on Sunday, which was actually my birthday), and I had a great time trying to pickup yummy dumplings with smooth and shiny chopsticks. The food was a bit pricey but really tasty. The service wasn’t that great I’m pretty convinced that the waiter messed up my main meal order off Beef and Tofu and gave me just Tofu. I didn’t say anything about it to the waiter but it does erk me a bit now. But the Tofu was really good anyways. I must confession though that the KFC eaten at 14:00 may have ruined my appetite for dinner.
Sunday was by far the best, I went shopping and because it was my birthday Dre stayed at my side while I looked through about twenty racks (earning him 300 brownie points). After that Dre took me for High Tea at the Mount Nelson Hotel. What a great experience, cheese cake everywhere, chocolate éclairs, finger sandwiches, and great fruit salad. Very friendly staff! I thought I paced myself well, I went four rounds and the final blow was the cheese cake. To finish of a great day Dre and I watched X-Men 3, what a great movie, so sad that someone important had to die, it was almost as bad as when that really important character in Harry Potter was killed in book 6.

Thanks to all my friends for remembering the day that god and my mother blessed this world with me and to Dre for making this a great birthday weekend. I truly do live a charmed life. Ok, so maybe my weekends are charmed, but they give me something to look forward to when I roll out of bed into the freezing morning at 6am and get ready for another miserable day at the office. Oh, almost forgot thanks Mom and Dave for the beautiful flowers.
