My birthday was wonderful. Thank you to all my friends who took the time to celebrate with me ... and for all the goodies that ensued. I treasure each and every one of you. I really do.

35 is weird. I'm not flipped out, really, but it has given me even more reason to conduct some serious self evaluation. This is absolutely NOT where I expected to be at this age ... although I don't think I'm doing horribly. But I do think it's a good place and time to gear up for bigger and better things.

Okay?
