Went out for dinner last night to have a pre-celebration for my birthday. Turning 28 is great, I'm more grown up than I thought I could be, but still feel like a big kid.  The restaurant boyfriend and I dined at had excellent food with reasonably good price, but their business was rather slow, by the time we came out before 9 pm?  There were all in all but five or six cars parked in the vest parking lot, and a lonely valet ran over to bring us our car which was parked about only four feet away. I couldn't help wondering when the recessions will be over?
