And Yamaraashi-chan turns 13
Jun. 26th, 2010 03:01 pmYamaraashi-chan turned 13 recently. I tell you, I gotta stop feedin' 'em, they're both gettin' so big.
But it was a lovely party, after a nasty false start. Yamaraashi-chan wanted to go Benihana's, and after getting assurances from the restaurant's website that reservations weren't necessary, we headed out. Not only were reservations necessary, but even with reservations they were backed up for over an hour, and the woman at the front was positively rude to Omaha.
So we went with Yamaraashi-chan's second favorite Japanese steakhouse, Mizu's, where the show is so-so but the food is pretty damn good, and we ate and drank and had a good time. They even had the embarassing birthday ritual with drums and singing.
I'm still wrapping my head around the idea that I have a teenager. Great Caesar's Ghost, how did that happen?

All I can say is congrats to the birthday girl, and "brace yourself" to you and Omaha.
