The previous post likely doesn’t mean what you think it means. All is well in my world, I promise.. thanks to all for emailing and checking up on me!
Or what is it that my friend taught me the other day… d-.-b Did I get that right?
Something I noticed while driving today…. have you noticed that CAR WASH and CASH BAR have mostly the same letters? This must be so confusing to dyslexics.

She regarded me in stunned silence. Then she smiled broadly and wrapped her childlike arms around me in a show of sportsmanship; I yielded, bending down to receive the greeting. Her idle gazes had a singular target, and I observed, thinking.. this night could end badly for me.
And then he took her hand. And it did.

Got back from a weeklong cruise to Bermuda, and it’s taken me five days to haul my ass online to write a post. The ship was great, the island was awesome - lovely blue water and gorgeous stretches of beach with the softest pink-flecked sand. I’m tanned so dark that I could pass for Apu. I wish I was still on vacation… my brain definitely is. And that’s all I have to say about that for now.

I had the most amazing birthday, filled with four straight days eating and laughing, old friends and new friends, lots of singing and lots of dancing. Ok maybe the dancing was just me, but whatever.
Special thanks to Kevin for being The Ultimate Planner for my special weekend, and big ups to those that traveled from afar just to see me this weekend. I am so very moved.
During my last birthday (and probably every birthday of my 20s), I spent a lot of time looking inwards to gauge my own personal growth, whether I was where I wanted to be in life, and so on. That seems to be the universal worry of the average twenty-something, no? This year.. I look outwards and see so much that I am thankful for. I’m grateful for my family for standing behind me always. I’m grateful for several great groups of friends that never fail to make me laugh on the bluest of days.. some of whom I consider brothers and sisters for life - you know who you are. I’m thankful for air-conditioning, automatic teller machines, and cream-cheese frosting. I’m grateful that roasted meat is as delicious as it is. I think the world of the person that first decided to dip a strawberry into chocolate, and I’m pretty darn thankful for Target. I’m also thankful that Steve Jobs never came into contact with African wildlife as a child, so that he could survive to one day create the iPhone 3G for me. Just for me.
