you are now entering, my BIRTHDAY




you are now entering, my BIRTHDAY
Originally uploaded by in retrospect.

it's my last day in the office before i head up to seattle for the weekend, so the first thing i see when i walk into work is this!

my team decorated my office with banners, birthday cake confetti and a little cake with "happy birthday heidi" in pink icing.

how cool is that?

this totally made my day after a real hard week and was a great start to my bday weekend.

for those that don't know me, i officially slide into my mid-thirties on saturday--and i'm feeling a little ambivalent about it.

crapshoot love

chatting with my mother about the impending departure of my roommate, i brought up that i'm hunting for a new roommate even though i'm pretty much over the roommate situation. the ensuing conversation is just one small indicator explaining my cautious optimism regarding love:

M: "do you really have to get a roommate?"
m: "yeah, i can almost afford it but not quite yet"
M: "well you could always get married..."
m: *pausing for a moment*
m: "mother i can't even get a date, i don't even think about married."
M: "eh, just order one. it's all a crapshoot anyway."

yup. this is the woman who raised me. explains more than a few things i'd guess.

there's a finish line?

...if so, it's MUCH farther than i thought.
