Kick-Ass Night

I had the absolute best time last night; hands down best evening in a very long time. Let me share.

Of course every evening is doomed to be better when you aren't at work all day - 1st plus.

Then I met my husband and some friends at Riverbend Winery where a fundraiser for Multiple Sclerosis was being hosted. It was drinks and Hors d' Oeuvres (Spanish tapas).

We had already planned to go for dinner afterwards and on a whim we decided to go to Morton's Steakhouse. We all love Morton's and go once or twice a year, but we never just go on a whim - it is always planned and reservations made, etc. This was way cool.

A friend of our friend joined us and the five of us literally closed Morton's on Friday night. The food was great, the waitor was the best (shout out to Nick), and the company was excellent. We laughed and drank and laughed. From appetizers through creme brulee it was an awesome evening. We have got to do this again soon.

I have to share a funny....my friend Linda (New Year's Eve Queen of the Ball) is so cool and funny. I have never known anyone to enjoy food as much as she does. We give her a hard time about how cranky she can be when she is hungry and how she "blossoms" with food. Of course she is one of those 100 lb. wet, can eat all she wants type that you just would love to hate, but can't.

Anyway, we had all drove separately and Morton's is downtown Louisville, so your best and almost only option for parking is valet. It is $4.00, no big deal - I mean you are about to lay down some serious cash for a meal - what the hell is $4.00? Right?

Well she refuses to pay for valet for a restaurant - why? I don't know, but she drove around and around until she found a spot. We were all laughing so much at the irony of paying $40 for a steak, but not $4.00 for parking.
