The Hippocampus: In CS for Kristi's 21st B-Day

This past 15th was Kristi's 21st birthday, so of course I made sure to have the day off from the hospital to make it up for the occasion. I was actually able to make it up a day earlier than I was expecting just the way things happened to work out. Since Kristi is back with her parents for the summer we stayed at her cousin Jenny's place. We went ice skating on the day of her birthday since that's something that we both have been wanting to do for awhile. CS actually has a brand new ice rink, so trying it out was pretty convenient for the occasion. Afterwards we made dinner at Johnny Carino's because she had mentioned for a long time that she wanted to try the Bellini there (mostly cause she likes pretty drinks, ;-) ) We all ate waaay to much including the free birthday dessert. We had to let the food settle for awhile before heading to Northgate for the obligatory 21st birthday drinking fest. All in all, I'm quite proud of my lady. She handled it all pretty well, and kept managing to pass the "finger" test long after I thought she'd fail it. Lets see if I can remember: 1 long island iced tea, 3 shots including a tequila, a pineapple shooter she really liked, an amaretto sour, cherry vodka sour, and crown and coke. And she definitely took it all in stride, without much of a hiccup at all. I think I'm going to have to look pretty hard into exactly what goes on in all those Lechner parties.......
