Happy Kerry Day!

With much anticipation, last night, Kelly and I were excited to give Kerry her belated birthday gift and night out celebration.

We always go Dutch on dinner for all b-day dinners, but the b-day girl gets to pick restaurant, final decision maker on all dishes, as we love to share, and of course, gets presents!

Looks like we have an ongoing theme for our gifts which gives tribute to "The Five Senses." It's actually an easy concept, but since each of us have different tastes (literally) and pleasure hot spots, it's still very individualized. I love it!

Kerry's bounty this year was:

Sight: a Louise Hay book (can't wait to borrow it)
Hearing: Celtic meditations and other Emerald Isle CDs
Smell: lavender soap with lavender husks mixed in
Taste: yummy Godiva and candy coated sunflower seeds (bright colors...for a bright new year)
Touch: a gift certificate (leaving the ego out of it, I promise!) for a full Reiki treatment by my gaining-so-much-confidence hands

And in case, we missed the mark on one of the senses, a gift card to Sephora. Yes, even taste can be enjoyed at this makeup haven if you get flavored lip balm. I'm still trying to figure out where "hearing" fits in, maybe the spritz sound of a favorite perfume.

Moving on to the celebration part of this night...which began with a very delayed seating. I wasn't to happy as we knew our table was given away BUT, as always, it worked out even better for us. We were seated in our favorite corner by wine rack. Great food, tasty pomegranate martini for me, and full tummies as we waddled to our cars.

Our final gift was escorting Kerry safely to her car to save her from the Gilgo Beach serial killer(s?) as she had parked in the back lot and had secluded alleyway to walk through And with that final gift of extending her life, we left her with love in our hearts, smiles on our faces, and anticipation for our next K3 night.

Happy New Year, our dear friend!
