It's a big day today!

I AM THIRTY!!!!

Holy cow. That sounds so...grown up. I remember being a kid when "30-somethings" was the big hit show, and those people had such crazy, dramatic, event-filled lives. And they were old. I'm nothing like those people, I swear.

So, today is much like any other day. Off to work in the morning, plenty to do. Jorge picked me up for lunch, which was a nice treat. Tonight we are having a handful of friends over for dinner - we've got pizza dough and all the toppings, so everyone can make their own creation. Pizza has become a bit of a tradition on my birthday (yes, original, I know. I'm right there with every grade-school kid in America). But that's only because on the last two years we couldn't find a good restaurant open - first it was a Monday (a lot of New Orleans restaurants close on Mondays), then it was post-Katrina - so pizza was the default option. Still, I do love me some pizza, so I'm not complaining.

Jorge has been all a-twitter getting everything ready for tonight. He's quite the Betty Crocker these days. He's particularly proud of his homemade strawberry daquiris, and has been obsessing over which pan to bake my cake in. So cute.

But, since it is a big milestone I suppose I should have a proper Moment of Reflection. Here goes:

Hey - 30's not so bad! I have a great husband, a good job in my chosen career, and I am living my dream of getting to see the world. And not a wrinkle to show for it. ;-)
