Me: Hey this is Saimi, want to go to lunch for your birthday tomorrow?
My friend: Hey you! I can't do tomorrow but what about Monday? Thanks for texting - it sounds like fun!
Me: Monday it is, but we have to pretend it's still your birthday.
My friend: Of course! I plan on having at least three parties anyway. So what time and where? Oops no wait! I just checked the calendar and Don (her husband) is taking me to lunch that day for my birthday! How about the following Monday the 24th?
Me: No can do, my sister will be here, OK party girl how about Tuesday instead, like the 18th, my sister is coming on the 19th.
My friend: I just talked to Don and he can switch days so lets do Monday the 17th. Sorry to be such a pain! So where and when?
Me: You're the birthday girl you get to choose.
My friend: Well I like Kyoto (a Japanese grill) of course and I haven't been there in quite a while, what do you think 11:30 ok?
Me: Yep sounds perfect! 11:30 it is, see you there.
My friend: :-D
Me: Oh my gosh, I just got home and remembered the horse shoer is coming on Monday at 11:00, should we do Tuesday same time same place?
My friend: I can't do Tuesday or Wednesday. How about Thursday? This is cracking me up, we are so popular!
Me: My sister is coming on Wednesday and staying for a week. OK lets do this, it only takes an hour to put shoes on the horse so let's just meet at 12:30 on Monday at Kyoto.
My friend: Ok 12:30 on Monday the 18th at Kyoto. I'll be in the waiting area in the front if I get there first. If the shoer runs a little late, don't worry about it.
Me: OK but Monday is the 17th haha, I'll see you there!
My friend: Oh don't confuse me! OK Monday the 17th.
We had a great time together and although her birthday was last week, the celebration was just as fun.
Slicing and dicing and making a volcano out of an onion.
We both had the chicken and vegetables with rice then they brought her a little birthday surprise.
What ever she wished for, I hope it comes true.

Sounds familiar!!!!!
I am so glad you set up a time to celebrate your friendship!
Looks delicious and fun. : )
With all the going back and forth setting the meeting date, it sure made this birthday a memorable one. I'm so glad that you got to meet for her birthday. That was so nice of you.
Happy Belated Birthday to your friend.
Hugs, Julia
I love birthdays . . and good friends . . . and Japanese grills! Sounds like a party to me!
That is hilarious! And you thought you were busy and overscheduled when you had a house full of little kids, right?
Glad you were able to make it happen, looks like a great time.
I have lunch with a friend about every six weeks and we go thru the same thing..
