a surprise dinner at the line

well, this was really a surprise... firstly, my birthday is one week later so i really didn't expect anything planned that weekend. anyway, the hubby claimed that this wasn't meant as a birthday celebration, but was more of a "reward" of being a good mummy to our little girl (as he said it, no 1-carat diamond reward, just a nice buffet dinner) - thank you, daddy! anyway, the line was having a 38% discount, so it's pretty worth it - the salmon sashimi and prime rib beef were excellent! and i'm glad i still managed to eat my fair share when ashley fell asleep halfway through dinner, but i kinda missed out on the dessert (argh, my cheesecake!) as she started to become rather grouchy later that evening. we can't go out in the evenings these days if we have to bring her along since she needs her beauty sleep by 7-ish, and you'll know it when she doesn't smile back at you and starts tugging at her ears... and since we really don't like disrupting her routine, we don't really have a nightlife these days. well well, the sacrifices that we need to make as parents!
