I fought the fondue ... and the fondue won. I am stuffed, stuffed, stuffed ... but it was oh-so-good.

And with that, my monthlong birthday celebration began.

What's that, you say? My birthday's not until next month? Technically true, but it's a holiday weekend and "Sex and the City 2" just came out. So, it was a perfect time for a girls' day out with my sister. (The movie wasn't as fabulous as the series, or even as good as the first foray onto the big screen. But, it was good to reconnect with some old friends nonetheless.) Then, it was off to The Melting Pot for the Big Night Out. (It was an early bird, but that's OK.)

I'm so full, I will probably not eat anything else until June. True, that's on Tuesday, but at this point, it could be weeks away and that would be OK by me. I am that stuffed.

Another highlight this month: "Spring Awakening" with my mother and sister. It was good, but, as we now say in our family, it wasn't "Wicked" good. (We've set the bar quite high.)

I don't know what next month with bring, but I'm sure it will be great!
