My husband and I like this restaurant, and we are die hards if we like a place. We have been to this restaurant about 5 times in the last year, and have always, on every occasion been extremely impressed with the quality of the food. Its often very crowded, and the waitlist to get a table can be long, often times forcing us to sit in the lounge area. Most times, our wait staff although extremely busy have been friendly curteous and have in turn made up for the general disorganization and mess that goes with a busy eatery.
Last night (on my birthday) we decided to eat at this restaurant, partly because the food has always been great, but also because Tony Roma’s is kind enough to send you a free entree’ on your birthday present. The place was not so busy, which is nice, both of us were tired and just wanted to eat something with some time to ourselves. The food as usual was amazing, however the waiter really ruined our night. I think “Ivan” was having a bad day, he was rude to everyone, he didnt give us any options to ask for more drinks or more food, or list the specials or anything, he was functional with no chit chat and no friendliness or service. Very dissappointing for us. We will probably go back to this palce to eat, however I will make sure we are not served by “Ivan” again.

This series of books by Frank Warren is the latest compilation of hundreds of never-before-seen secrets arranged in loose chronological order revealing the fascinating ways our secrets change over the course of our lives and the surprising ways they remain exactly the same.
For the past three years Frank Warren has invited people of all backgrounds and nationalities to send him creatively decorated postcards bearing secrets they have never before revealed. He has shared these PostSecrets on his award-winning blog, www.PostSecret.com, in an internationally traveling art exhibit, and in three electrifying books: the bestselling PostSecret, My Secret, and The Secret Lives of Men and Women.
Now, in his most extraordinary book yet, Warren again delves into our collective confessions, presenting a never-before-seen selection of provocative and moving PostSecrets. A Lifetime of Secrets lays bare our private fears, hopes, regrets, and desires, from people as young as eight and as old as eighty. From painful admissions of infidelity to breathtaking revelations and endearing sentiments, Warren’s latest collection will shock and move readers of every age, revealing secrets that have haunted their creators for a lifetime.
I urge you to check out the book and website. I think Frank has really found one way to make the world a better place.

I was at one of those outdoor stores and saw this nice looking Camelbak Bottle. The nice thing i though was the bite and sip top that you can flip away and doesn’t drip. The other nice thing about this bottle is that there is a straw attached to it so now you don’t have to flip the bottle if you want to drink. Just bite the top and start drinking.
There is one flaw in this bottle. It is not major but still a bit strange if you ask me. Ok you wonder what is it 
ok the Straw is to short and that means that about a 1/2 inch of your drink will stay in the bottle. I really wonder why they didn’t make the straw just a little bit longer.
The size of this bottle is nice BUT it will not fit in all cup holders in your car. It fits in the top part of our cars but if you want to make sure it fits maybe you should go with the smaller version of this bottle.
Camelbak made a great product for a good price and they even have spare parts in case you need them. The bottle is dishwasher save (didn’t try) and is leak proof.
A real nice bottle to add to your collection.
update:
As you may have heard by now most of those nice looking plastic water bottles are not very safe for you to use.
This Camel bottles we talked about is one of those. It is made from plastic nr 7 and that seems to be not that healthy.
