A few times this week I have gone out to Royal Oak. Goldfish Tea is addictively good. I really like the Tie Guan Yin A. It to me is almost like super lite toffee butter (I add honey) melting in your mouth. Delicious.

Both nights we went to Ronin for a fine dinner of sushi. Their menu is not graphical but I have a list of favorites (Thanks to Matthew and Michelle) that they make there.

It is great that Goldfish Tea offers a connection to free Wi-Fi also. Coupled with a good size place full of plenty of seating this makes it a perfect place for groups to meet. Which is what brought me to their door the first time. i wan there for #tweetea, but it rained that evening and I ended up just having a date night with my husband, who is a tea lover and so we had a fun night out.

The next time was a weekend and my mother was treating us to dinner out for my hubby’s birthday. We have been celebrating for over a week, big year. She asked up to pick and we again did Ronin and goldfish.

I asked the girl at the counter (she was very nice) about their FaceBook page and she said that she would friend me instead, I just could not figure out if I was no the right page as the updates seemed to be nothing new. I did not think that she was going online at that time to add me, and it was funny that when we were leaving she said ‘JuanitaC on FaceBook right?’ I said ‘Yep, that’s me.’ ‘Funny you don’t look like your pic.’ she said.

lol OMG! yeah. I was dressed like the slob I am when out on a mandatory outing with my mom, hubby and kid. Don’t get me wrong, we had a good time. It’s just like the celebrity factor. I will not do hair, makeup, wardrobe just to hang out with people who see me in my PJs. And I am usually low key and if I glammed up I would expect to draw attention (which I don’t feel comfortable with all the time).

I was like ‘Yeah. I am not made up. This is me in real life out with the mom and hubby and kid.’  You always try to post the best pics online right? I also do not turn on the Marilyn (up the ante on my personality) very often. And I can be kind of brash sometimes because I think every minute should count. But I don’t mean to be mean. I just like to get to the point.

I think if I became some sort of celebrity I would be one of those that the tabloids would love to see on grocery shopping trips with my hair in curlers and baggy sweatpants and a torn favorite t-shirt running quick to my car as fast as my flip flops could carry me and shouting ‘Don’t you have better things to look at?!’

If I were alone those board games they have at Goldfish looked pretty tempting. I wonder if they had Balderdash? I did not stop to look. Everyone else wanted to go home.
