A friend of mine turned 25 last Friday and she invited a bunch of us out to celebrate with her at Cheesecake Factory. The time of the invite said 6pm and you know as per Naija, we automatically showed up late. We got there at about 6.43pm, it wasn't intentional or a conscious decision to just show up late but by the time my sister and her hubby got to my house, it was past 6 anyways.
Anyhow sha, my sister showed up wearing a black dress and some heels, her husband in slacks and a shirt, here I was putting on my boots... For a min there, I felt a little under-dressed in my jeans with knee high boots and a jacket, but I decided to 'roll' the way I was dressed.
We show up to the 'Factory' and there is no one there or at least I didn't know anyone of the people moving all around me! I look in my phone to call the birthday girl to know if they were already seated, oops, I didn't have her number!
I called a mutual friend to see if she was there and to ask after the b day girl, well, she wasn't there and b day girl wasn't either! And I wasn't mad at that tho!
So what do you do when you are waiting in a crowded place and all sorts of people walking around, well, you people watch! For some reason, there were a ton of pregnant women and their significant others, weird that I noticed that..lol! There were a lot of girls in mid to knee high boots like myself! Some in dresses and skirts but one stand out for me was a lady wearing a very short black dress with the cutest red sling back shoes. I thought the shoes were fabulous, and her legs were lovely but her dress didn't fit! I felt she wore the wrong dress because for that type of figure, she need not have worn a dress that accentuated her lack of a sizable butt!
Now, I know that you gonna think, I'm nuts, nope... I just happened to notice and decided I was gonna blog about her! Here's a tip ladies, Please shop based on your body type, no matter the type, you have something to work with! It just looks better!
Huah! Finally, it's past 7 and b day girl shows up, we get seated at almost 8pm! Now this is funny, watch this... my sister and her husband are sitting to my right and to my left is my sister's ex boyfriend and his wife! They didn't speak to each other and it so weird at dinner! Lol! Can't we all be friends?
So now, let's eat, food is served at 9pm.. I ordered a virgin pina colada and the herb crusted salmon and shrimp scampi combo... Food was good, it was not all that fabulous to where I would be paying through the moon!
I ate, merried and dined and had good conversations with those seated around me, because it was a large group, we could not really interact as such, but we made do!
Okay, I've been here for over 3 hours, let's get going, we had to wait for them to split the bill and that took forever, I guess we could have told them to do so before hand, but anyways, the bill came and I was like ye!
The 'ye' was because my bill was $36 bucks, ok, please tell me where at a non fine dining restaurant with only an entree and a drink, it adds up to almost $40 bucks for one person.
Because of my job, I have become so money conscious, I only spend money I have and so I don't waste it. I had just spent in one night enough money to buy me lunch at work for 6 days! Wow! It was crazy! My food and drink were like $24 bucks, the additional $12, I'm guessing it tax plus the penalty of coming to eat with more than 6 people! Gbese, Oloun ma je a ri ooh!!
