My Own Fault!

I apologize to all who had to hear that!

The Fresh Fish Shit Company

Denver Restaurant Week 2009

My brother ( Jeff ), his girlfriend ( Sabrina ) , Ethan and I decided we would take part in Restaurant Week. $52.80 a couple at a VERY fancy restaurant of your choice that participates in this deal. We chose The Fresh Fish Company. We've heard so MANY fantastic things, even from my parents. We were all very excited. We met up with Sabrina and my brother at my parents house at 800 to be at the restaurant for our reservations at 830. Driving alllll the way out to I-25 and Hampden, we were all so hungry and excited. The outside of the restaurant doesnt really make you feel like its super fancy but we werent going to turn away, especially after seeing some couples come out dressed up a little more than we were. Took us about 10 minutes to get sat, even though the restaurant was not busy. Tom was our server and was very friendly and willing to describe anything and answer all our questions. We decided we would start with appitizers, we got crab and artichoke dip, the dip was inside of a whole artichoke, TOTALLY EXCITING, we also got calamari, another fav. Once they were served we all were not impressed, yes the artichoke part was good cause thats always good but the dip tasted like they bought it from King Soopers, nothing fancy like you would think. Then we had our soups and salads. We all got the caeser salads and Sabrina got Clam Chowder. She said hers was not very good at all, also came with a BAG of oyster crackers ( CHEAP! ) our salads had SO much dressing on them it was hard to eat. Now the dinners start coming, I will start with Sabrina and Jeff, they had filet migeon and lobster tails. Jeff wanted his rare and Sabrina medium, both of theres was put on the table BLACK the mushrooms on top of the steak were canned and not tasty. Their lobster tail was RUBBER and WAYYYY over cooked. BUT on the plus side the steamed veggies they had were very tasty and cooked JUST right! Ethan had a 10 oz prime rib with grilled garlic shrimp. He asked for his meat to be medium. Probably 6 oz of the meat was fat, the other parts were rare and wells done ( HOW DO YOU MESS THAT UP!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!) Again though his garlic mashed potatoes were awesome!! Now me , poor little me. I decided to have the scallops and king crab. My side I chose vanilla yams, they were sweet and lovely and really good. My scallops were NOT cooked fully and had no flavor what so all. The king crab was LITERALLY pulled out of the shells and thrown onto the side of the plate. I also had to pull shells out of my mouth, thank god I didnt break a tooth. The key lime pie was okay, probably also bought from King Soopers. We made a comment to our WONDERFUL ( and I mean that ) waiter who was really in shock and just wanted to make things better. He sent over the manager who to me, was a moron. We ended up having a $28.00 bill. He had taken off all meals but one, should have been $140! We gave the waiter $28.00 for a tip as well cause it really wasnt his fault and we really werent saying anything to get a discount we just wanted them to know how horrible of an experience we had. ** SIDE NOTE ** Manger had a small pony tail at the nape of his neck with a real RUBBER BAND. Just thought it was funny. ** END SIDE NOTE ** Poor Sabrina was really not feeling well after, Ethan and I went to bed at 1130 and barely slept! So LONG story short, very bad experience with The Fresh Fish Company, I would NOT ever reccommend anyone go there!!!

By the way Jenn stumbled upon a new blog someone has made. It has a new premise to it that we all always think. Should be funny to follow it. Take look!

Birthday Blog!!!!!!!

I guess that picture would be better suited for this weekend when its my actual birthday but I like it anyways!

Ive been promising that I was going to blog again for the past week so there is a lot to catch up on! And look!!! I am actually blogging! Arent you proud! I know I am!

So, a couple weeks ago, maybe about a month ago, Ethan and I thought we had a lightbulb bandit. I came home to see a random lightbulb sitting outside our house. Come to find out, due to needed the landlords fix our heat, that lightbulb was from them and was for our fridge! We had no idea and just put it in the lamp! Opps!! Jenn made me laugh because she asked why we didnt look on the package to see that it was a appliance bulb! But in my defense we were so confused at where it came from that it didnt matter what the package said!

The funniest comment that I think I have ever said occured today. I was telling Jenn that I think I can type faster with my rings on. She said it might be because of the reflection of the rings. I then made the sound of the star wars light saber sound and said, its like Star Wars but with hands! Jenn and I laughed and laughed and laughed! It still makes me giggle as I type it!!!!

Yesterday Ethan and I went out to dinner for the first time in MONTHS! It was nice to be served and not have to worry about doing the dishes later! We went to Papa J's which I had heard was fantastic but yeah way too over priced for what we had. Anyhoot, I was spewing on him the current events of the Call Center Activities Committee and how everyone has gotten very caddy and immature. He stopped me to ask, " I thought Shelly was the one from the weekend that you liked?" I responded with, " Well yes I did, until I found out that she was a caddy 2 year old!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Again a HOOT!!!

Tomorrow is my birthday, I remember always being super excited and I think it just might be age ( rip ol age of 26 ) but Im just not that excited this year. I almost feel like its a burden. But oh well we are going bowling and will be able to get Jer and Erin out of the house with no kids. We should have a great time! Sunday we go to my parents house for my family birthday party. Thats always a great time enjoyed by all. My crazy family is the bestest!!!!!!!!

Ethan and I both got paid today. Its exciting to know that we can start the road of paying off bills. We got pretty far behind when he was unemployed. Also with our taxes coming soon, we can pay off a lot! Including friends and family. That part is more embarassing then the debt that we have! I hate borrowing and oweing people money! It sucks! But soon!! Everyone will be paid back and things will be back to normal!

I'm trying to find a good Valentines Day present for Ethan. Part of me wants to get him the book that he has wanted since before Christmas and part of me wants to get him a nice journal so he can start writting again. I think he is in a very peaceful place when he writes. He has said he would like to try and get something published but I dont want this to seem like I am pushing him. So hmm we will see. I know for a fact we are going to the Keg downtown. Yep, as soon I as I typed that I looked in my purse for the coupon I had for the Keg and I read that its only Sunday thru Thursday! V-Day is on SATURDAY! BOO HISS!!! So Im thinking maybe I will try for Maggianos. That was our first date so that might be really nice. More money than I think we wanted to spend but oh well. I will talk to him about it tonight and see what he thinks. Good thing I looked at that now before I sent it!

Im sure I will come back soon and blog. No WAIT I promise I will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1st!

Have I ever told anyone how much I hate snow? Not only is it cold but I HATE IT. Colorado people somehow dont know how to drive now and then you add any of Colorado's weather to it and its a mad house outside.

Humph! Well there you go! A Lovely start to his new blogging thing. Not sure how to start but I figure that was a good way.

We had our New Year party thing at work today, it was cool. Jenn was nice enough to share her food with me. And Sarah pitched in to cover my broke ass. My work friends are the shizzle!

Well yeah thats all I have to say right about now. Im reading another new book. I stopped Run Away Jury cause Erin was lovely enough to let me borrow the next Sookie Stackhouse book I needed to read. So I think I shall read that again til I feel my eyes drooping ( SO TIRED TODAY) then I'll more than likely have more to say. But Yay for a first blog!

WOOOOTTT
