it was date night with the pals!

i met up with ande, matt, and johann on a cool, weekday evening.  it started out so easy until my goose chase for a restaurant ensued!  i drove my way to lincoln park and easily found a parking spot by our restaurant of choice, sai cafe.  as i walked towards the restaurant, i noticed that the windows were all papered up like it was closed {in the end, it wasn’t closed, their sign is oddly located above a space that is closed, if you walk a little more down the block, you can see the restaurant and the entrance!}!  i thought, omg…ande had recommended this place, did she not realized it had closed down?  so, i text everyone  to let them know that we needed to find another place to eat at.  we then decided to stick with the sushi theme, they suggested kamehachi in old town.

so, i drove my way there.  found another fab parking spot and started walking my way towards the restaurant.  as i approached the space, oh em gee!  it was closed down…wtf?  i text them that the other restaurant of choice had closed down.  oy, and i was tired!  this pregger, hungry lady was tired of getting back fired upon!  i just wanted to sit down and eat!  well, i looked more closely at the window and saw that they had a sign up that the restaurant had relocated!  phew!!!  so, there i go again, i backtracked the way i came.

[waiting]

i was seated by the hostess and waited patiently for my party to arrive!  i ordered a mocktail of a tasty lychee beverage, yum!   it was so delicious!  i love lychee!

first, ande arrived, then matt and johann and the fun began!  i love hanging out with them, it’s always so entertaining, lively, and hilarious!  they are such good people and such good, sweet friends.  the world is a better place because of people like them.

[some delicious desserts]

we demolished some yummy food {udon noodles for moi}, got caught up in our daily lives, and did a lot of baby talk.  they are so excited for baby h!  as usual, we practically closed down the place.  we can talk and talk and talk; we always lose track of time when we are all together.

it was time to say our goodbyes and we all scurried on our merry ways.  it was so great to be able to catch up with them and spend some quality time together! it was a happy date night with some good buddies!
