Haven't blogged in awhile... nothing too exciting has been happening, but I guess the point of this blog is my "everyday" adventures.
Work has been good.... not overly busy, but not calm either. As always, I don't really have any complaints about my job, other than I guess, I wish I could start at around 11:00 AM instead of 7:30, but I know that's really not reasonable. But overall I enjoy my work. I have a four day weekend this weekend though, and that's really nice. A good break away.
Valentine's Day was nice... Seth and I went out to a nice dinner at Rosebud (an Italian place) mostly because we had a gift card there.
I've been planning the 30th birthday party (me, Julie, and Maria) and I'm really excited about it... we were able to set up a package and reserve tables at Waterhouse, a laid-back nice bar. It's going to be a lot of fun. For those of you readers who don't know --- I love my birthday. I always have. It's a huge deal to me. I don't know exactly what it is except that it's a day about ME. And I don't mean that I want all that attention in a selfish way, although I guess that's kinda it, but it's just the day that I have to do what I want and try to make the day perfect. So aside from the party in April, since my birthday is on a Sunday I'm trying to make it the perfect day. My plan is to have brunch with the girls, then (and this is also my reward for the money I've saved by quitting smoking) go to a nice salon and get a massage, manicure, and pedicure, and then go to dinner with Seth at Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinders. Oh and if it's a nice day I'd like to try and squeeze in a walk with Toby by the lake. I just have to decide what I want to do after dinner. Maybe go to a wine bar and have a really nice bottle of wine with Seth. I think that would be perfect (or as perfect as I can make it without teleportation... really my perfect day would include laying a beach, taking a gondola ride in venice, seeing a Broadway show, gambling in Vegas, etc.)
I've been having a little anxiety about turning 30... not anxiety exactly, but I guess kinda sad. I really enjoyed my 20s.... it was when I truly became who I was, it was college, it was when I overcame a lot of things, when I met Seth, when I planned a wedding, when I got married, when I got my first "real" job and became a teacher, got my masters and got a job I loved and became a school counselor, got Toby, bought a home, and so many more things. Maybe I'll have to think about it and list them all. Anyway, it's just that I feel somewhat bad about turning 30 because it means I'm really an adult and there's no way I'll be back as that college person or that pre- home owning, career having, married person. It means going into a time where I'll be having kids, and being responsible. Which is exciting and fun, don't get me wrong, but I'm so nostalgic for all those other times. It's something I need to continue to reflect on more in the next few weeks.
The other thing I'm all excited about is the Oscars!!! The Writer's Strike is over and they'll be on with all the excitement! I LOVE the Oscars... it's one of my favorite days of the whole year. The red carpet starts on E! at 11:00.... I'm getting all ready for our Oscar gathering... food and everything. I had my first Oscar party last year and loved it....I have a piece of red fabric as the "red carpet" and when my guests arrive I take a "paparazzi picture" ... clothing is comfy (I think I'll do PJs) ... I have Oscar Bingo, and our annual Oscar Winners Pool. VERY exciting:)
Anyway, that's about all for a Sunday night!
