Coffy's Birthday

Coffy's Birthday party was mellow this year.  We went out to Kenny's Woodfire Grill.  And it happened to be Restaurant Week in Addison, so we got a good special on the food.  I order a salad, the fillet mignon, chocolate cigar, and a pear-tini.  The food was really good.  The drinks were really strong.  Dorian was late, as usual.  And the place was packed, especially for a Thursday!  I recommend this restaurant, but make sure you have a reservation.  Happy Birthday Coffy!  Here's to another fun year!

Coffy's ribs.  Even I liked them.

Kenny's went all out and gave her a plate of nothing for her birthday!

CARP Reunion!

I missed all my Carpenter peeps, so we decided to have a reunion.  Many of us have scattered since I left Carpenter in March.  Dorian and Steve went to Oak Point and Tommie moved to Liberty.  We all met at the new Chuy's in West Plano.  At first they said it was an hour and a half wait!  But just as we were going to leave, they called our group.  It was really nice to have the gang back together.

Dorian's 30th B-Day!

We celebrated Dorian's birthday at his favorite restaurant, Olive Garden in Addison.  Dorian actually got there early to get a table.  Maybe his old age is making him want to eat earlier in the day.  The food was great like usual.  I got the spaghetti and meat sauce.  But I really just ate the salad and breadsticks.  The spaghetti will be today's lunch!  David, Sandy, Gordon, and I got Dorian an iTunes gift card.  Steve got him some pink sweat bands.  And he got a plethora of cards.  Good times!

Trey's Going Away

Last weekend, we had to say goodbye to Trey Goodman.  He has worked at Carpenter for at least the last 2 years, maybe 3.  He is a big teddy bear.  We all love him so much.  He got a new job as the Park Ranger for the Galveston Island State Park in Galveston.  So, we met at Gloria's in Frisco to bid him adieu.  John Finley and Dave Napoli had told the waiter that we wanted to sing "For He's A Jolly Good Fellow."  They thought he said "Happy Birthday."  So, Trey got a piece of cake out of the deal.  I had ordered the chicken tacos, but I received the fish tacos.  I didn't even realized until halfway through the second one.  If you are wondering, they were good.

We miss you already Trey!

Coffy's Big B-Day Bash

Coffy had another wonderful birthday bash this year! A whole bunch of us gathered at Pappadeaux's in Richardson. We could tell the waiters hated us from the get go. Who wouldn't? There was like 30 of us! I busted out the camera early. Everyone acted like they didn't want their picture taken, but you know they did. David and I split the salmon. It was very good, but I could have used some rice to go with it. Coffy opened her gifts. Jodi got her a gag gift of a really ugly purse. Her really gift was an Ulta gift card. After dinner, we went to the Nylo Hotel lounge. We rented a little seating area and had our own waitress. The atmosphere was fun. I didn't quite care for the music or the volume, but I enjoyed it anyway. Everyone was dancing and drinking and having a great time. We stayed until it closed. Then Jayme, Bryan, Dorian, and I went to IHOP. It took us so long to get breakfast. It was cold in there and I was tired. I fell asleep at the table. Dorian took me home around 4 AM. I haven't been out that late in forever!! Let's see if Coffy can top this year at her next party. She better start planning now!

Smile Stephanie!
