how many candles?

there's something special about the angle of the sun at this time of year. the sunlight has a special glow. I love it.

is it just me? is it only because it's when I first was?

so far my birthday has been great. last night kicked it off with another outstanding show on the rocks.

today, phone calls, e-mails and cards from friends, letting me know they're thinking about me. flowers arrived at my office just as I did. beautiful. blue, pink, and purple.

I had lunch with my friends from work in the sun on a beautiful Colorado day. then cake at the office. I picked angelfood with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. perfect.

I'm grabbing a drink with a friend right after work. having dinner with the girls. then more drinks with everyone that can make it. the celebration continues through the long weekend.

you know, this turning older thing isn't so bad.
