Dinner Friday night...

Tonight Jason and I went to "The Great Wall of China" for dinner. We arrived about 7pm (when Charlotte goes out to eat) and were greeted immediately and seated promptly. Our server came over right away and took our drink order (sweet T and a Diet Coke), they gave us plenty of time to decide what we wanted from the fairly extensive menu. Jason decided to order the Seafood Lo Mein and I decided on the Orange Beef (a little spice in life is good). In what seemed like no time we received our food and were asked if we were going to share our meals - we laughed and exchanged a quick look at each other and said, "No." at exactly the same time. Dinner was really good and our drinks were kept full through the entire meal - we declined any dessert and settled in on our fortune cookies :-) Dinner was done with in just over an hour and it only cost us about $40 (including tip) - pretty standard for Charlotte, NC. We went home and relaxed for a little bit and then we went over to our local Waffle House (Pineville on 51) for coffee and conversation. Most of the regulars were there and we had Miss Pat as our waitress - we all love Miss Pat as she is very attentive to all of her tables. She kept us filled with coffee which helped wash down the chocolate pie that Jason had ordered, and it went really well with my raisin toast too. Jason worked on a character for his DnD world that he is building and I tried to come up with ideas for my birthday party (who to invite, where we are going to go, etc.). Needless to say it was well after 2am when we finally got out of there, even after running into some of our friends in the parking lot... Finally was able to crawl into bed - what a night!
