Tuesday: I got to participate in a focus group about nutrition labeling in restaurant menus and fast food menu boards. Now, I could care less about nutrition facts at a restaurant. If I'm going out to eat, I'm not really think about that. Although, I do think it's a good idea. I just wouldn't pay attention to it. BTW, did I mention that they payed me cash?! $75! Woohoo!
Wednesday: The lovely Miss Monica invited me to her company's Christmas dinner. Free Food! Can't beat that. It was at some restaurant in Rockville called Timpano. It was tasty. And, did I mention it was free?! $0! Woohoo!
Thursday: Some weeks ago, I won three tickets in the White House Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony Lottery. So, Joey, Missy, and I Metro'd over. Now, even though I had standing room and could only see part of the stage, and despite the cold temps., a good time was had by all. Oh! Did I mention that I got to see President Obama! Of course, he was about an inch tall from my vantage point. $Priceless! Woohoo!
Friday: For my birthday, Andi and I went to the DC Improv to see Adam Ferrara. Folks, that man is funny. I'd never seen his stand up before, but I'm a fan of him on the TV show Rescue Me. And, he was nice enough to take a picture with me after the show. Later we went over to the ellipse to see the tree because Andi had never done the whole White House Tree thing before. $20! Woohoo!
Saturday: My mom took me out for a birthday lunch. Then, later that evening, I had a movie night with some friends. You see, a small of group of my friends and I have a movie group where we get together occasionally at each other's houses to watch movies. This time it was at my house, which meant that I got to choose the menu. I decided on breakfast. So, I, along with Andi, whipped up some Belgian waffles and made to order omelets. Then we enjoyed the movie "Holiday Inn". $Priceless! Woohoo!
And on the seventh day, I rested. . . Actually, I guess it was the sixth day of my Birthday Week O' Fun. Although, I didn't quite rest since I had to work.
So, I just want to say thanks to all my friends who helped make it a fun week. . . And now, back to the normal day to day again. . . woohoo. . .

What a great birthday week!
It was, Misfit! Although, I wish I had a better camera like yours. Most of my attempts at taking pictures of the event at night didn't turn out so well. . . Of course, we were pretty far away. The one that I posted was the best one of the bunch.
Thanks for including me for the tree night! Next year, we're getting front row- now that I have an in with the lighting guy :)
