It's your birthday, it's your special day

Well, maybe not your birthday, but yesterday was my Polka dot's birthday. I had a class early in the morning, but I was able to come back home with flowers and, since she is currently "between jobs," spend the rest of the afternoon with her. In the evening, we ventured into the center of Prague to Red Fish, a highly-recommended sushi restaurant. And though it was a bit pricy (what with the Czech Republic being a landlocked country and all), it was well worth it. We had quite a large sampling of various nigiri and maki, enough to give my Polka dot a good idea of what different kinds of sushi there are, this being her first time ever having sushi. It was also her first time using chopsticks, and she did amazingly well, only dropping things occasionally and never asking for a fork. And afterwards, we headed to the traditional Czech restaurant McDonald's for some good ol' soft serve ice cream.

And finally, to top it all off, she had an interview today and was immediately offered a job which she starts this Thursday. It seems good things come in packages.

So here's a shout-out and a hearty congratulations to her. And keep your fingers crossed for her first day!
