Cheesecake Factory Birthday Bash

Tonight a group of us went to the Cheesecake Factory in Colonie Center to celebrate my ** Birthday which was earlier this week. Needless to say, I think we all left the place stuffed! Mary Ellen, our waitress was a great sport! Just before we left she told us that she had been off for three days and was not especially looking forward to getting back to work, but she said we made her night a lot of fun! It seemed like we were in the birthday room because even before our meal was served there were three different Happy Birthdays sung around us. When we got to the end of our meal, we were all too full to order cheesecake, but then thought of our adventure to NYC in April, when we had dinner at Carmine's in midtown and how everyone was too full for dessert there too. You'd never know it though by the way we all attacked the Titanic before the platter even hit the tablecloth! But tonight we resisted! At David's request, Mary Ellen assembled a group of "hot waiters" to sing Happy Birthday to me as she placed a mini hot fudge sundae in front of me. (NO COMMENT RUSSELL!!!) But alas, I left without even one phone number! Maybe next year........
