I just want to party all the time, party all the time....

Today our family celebrated my birthday(it's Tuesday!) and just had a day of FUN, FUN and more FUN!!!
Chaka let me sleep in and did not wake me to go to church this AM. I was so grateful. Resting until 9 or so really did my body good. I am feeling refreshed and renewed.

We really partied all day today. We did not worry about time or about our budget, we just had a little fun. Our intentions were to drive to Columbus to Genji, my favorite Japanese steakhouse and have a fun meal but none of us felt like the 90 min. drive, so we settled on Pappadeuxs. Our meal was very nice. If you ever dine at Pappadeuxs I highly recommend the crab fingers as an appetizer or your meal. The sauteed crab fingers are AMAZING! Chaka, Nalah-B and I really enjoyed them. Prince Amari tried them even thought he does not care for food from the sea. He insists that it is not right to kill and eat animals out of the ocean. We still have not figured out why he thinks that it is OK to kill and eat animals that roam the earth but not the sea. He politely tells people that he does not eat anything from the sea. Go figure, he is 7 and he is really passionate about this so we just smile and let him be. Anywho, the meal was nice.

After our meal we headed over to Krazy City to PLAY!!! We rock climbed, drove racing cars, played games and just really had a good time. I needed this play time b/c I am so serious all of the time. Everyone knows that Chaka has the fun loving worry free spirt and I am the serious thinker who OVER ponders and plans everything. Thank God opposites attract b/c MAN our lives would be dull if Chaka were more like me.

All in all this was a great day that reminded me that my family is truly my greatest gift. It's days like today that the stresses of opening a business or not opening a business really do not matter.

Stay warm and hug your loved one.

Peace
