Happy Birthday Ben!! :)

This week was my roommate's birthday. I decided to bake him a cake as a surprise. I found a recipe for a death by chocolate cake and some oreo truffles.....of course I baked both!! Friday, after I gave Ben his cake we went out to dinner. We wanted to go to Jacqus Imo's but after driving by and seeing the hundreds of people on the sidewalk waiting to be seated, we decided to take a rain check. We went to a Mediterranean place called Byblos instead - it was delicious!!! I think it was some of the best hummus I've ever eaten!! After dinner we got a beer from The Bulldog then went home - called it an early night! The next day we ran some errands while we waited on Micah, Andy, and Mike to get into town from BR for Ben's birthday celebration. When they got into town, we headed straight to Bourbon St. We day drank at BBC then ate at Cafe Maspero on Decatur......this is where it gets a bit fuzzy! ;) After dinner, we went to Razoos and the 6 hour dancing marathon began!! After Razoos we went to the goldmine and the night ended around 3:30 - it was amazing!!! Today, I've been recovering from the events of yesterday..... :/ Tomorrow, I'm heading over to the coffee shop to continue my job search - hoping to secure a job by the end of the week.....that might be a bit ambitious of me.... Pictures from last night to come soon - waiting for Ben and Andy to post them on facebook. The park a block from my apartent in New Orleans, LA
