30
I'm 30 today. I haven't decided how I feel about it yet. I don't feel suddenly old, and most of the people I know went through this before me, including Patrick. I think the weirdest thing is talking about stuff that happened in high school and realizing that was fifteen years ago. Or realizing that Patrick and I have been together for most of the last decade.
I'm definitely in a better place than I was ten years ago, and I've accomplished pretty much all of the goals I had for myself then. I graduated college, started a successful career, and made it to New York. I also got married, which I didn't think would happen in my twenties, but I'd say it's a success since we'll be celebrating our seventh anniversary this May. Just in general, I think I'm a happier person than I used to be.
And this is shaping up to be a very good birthday. My brother was at my birthday party for the first time since I think when I turned ten. And Kerry will be here this coming Saturday. I got in to work this morning and Kelsey and Julia gave me a vase of tulips. Last night Patrick made me chocolate cupcakes. Tonight we're going to Tabla, because you can't go wrong with dressed up Indian food. And of course, in May we will be going to France to celebrate both of us entering our third decade (or is that fourth decade...). |

Happy 2007!
New Year's Brunch
Contrary to what some readers may think, I do occasionally cook. I wanted to give Patrick a morning to sleep in and relax, since I rarely get out of bed early enough to get our breakfast. This morning I made brunch (click the photo for details.)
Last night we stayed in since you couldn't have paid us to be part of the million + people in Times Square (80% are tourists anyway), and the other things that go on locally are generally overpriced prix-fixe meals. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that we didn't have to venture outside to see the fireworks at Grand Army Plaza - we have a great view from our living room window. |
