Hallmark has nothing on me

today's is my ex-roommate's birthday and we're celebrating by going to none other than....drum roll please....chili's bar and grill. no, we're not in middle america (where i grew up chili's was it, except for applebee's across the street), but rather LA where there are plenty of other options of where to dine out. what can i say, the boy loves his chili's. i made him a card, as if i were 8 again (get the reference, ems?) and for my current roommate's birthday, i made her a card as well. because what says i love you more than some magazine pictures pasted haphazardly onto a piece of computer paper. i don't even have markers, so i used my one and only highlighter...a pretty pink. ashley seemed to like hers, she even put it on top of the tv with the "real" cards. my, how i've changed. i used to be all about the e-cards, the free ones, b/c i'm a cheap bastard. "it's the thought that counts" is what i'm all about. hey, you should be lucky if i even remember your birthday, so here's your homemade card, take it and like it.
