My Birthday!!!!

Yeeeeehaw!!! Looks like I just turned 29 on Tuesday :o))) Getting older, but still playing pretty hard. Having said that, I didn't actually do any hard playing on Tuesday - more of a relaxing day!

I took it easy in the morning - when I woke up I realized I didn't want to go to work, so I didn't :o) I just stayed in bed for breakfast and read for a while. In the afternoon I wandered around with one of my housemates looking for a new shower/bathtub (she had to do all the translating as I don't know the Dutch words for 'tile' or 'leak' or 'destruction'). Then in the evening I went out for Thai food with a good friend (who conveniently forgot her wallet, so I had to cover everything ;o)

I got a lot of well wishes from friends and relatives, so that's for those :o)

Now I'm back at work after spending 1.5 hours driving around trying to find a baker that had cakes so I could show up at work with them. It's a Dutch custom that the birthday person brings goodies for everyone at work - I like it!

So, does 29 feel any different than 28? Yup! I haven't put my finger on it yet, but maybe it's the new page I've turned in my life recently. Or maybe it's the good feelings I get when I take the time to reflect on the past 29 years (actually, although it's my 29th 'Birthday' shouldn't it be my 30th? Why don't we count the first one - it's the most important) of my life and the good times I've had. Or maybe it's the confidence to go forward in time and do everything I can to make sure I'm still having fun (when was the last time you actually went out and 'played' at something? I mean played like a kid???!!). Or maybe it's cause I just shaved my legs.

I dunno, but so far I like it. It just feels like there's a lot of energy around and it's a great time to be enjoying it.

Keep the rubber side down.
