Oooh, peeps, it's my birthday today (and all month long, thank you very much). And I'm excited. Why? I have no idea. But isn't birthday reason enough for excitement and happiness? I think so.
Oh, and this was my lunch...
Seriously, one of the unheralded perks of adulthood is the autonomy to decide every so often that it's fine to skip a meal and head straight for dessert. Yay 38!
I know what you're thinking: I don't act my age (exhibit A, exhibit B, exhibit C, exhibit D). It's true. I prefer to act like me, rather than acting like a number.
But this year my thoughts are all about change. I can't shake the feeling that this is a metamorphosis year.
Change can come quickly. Both Phin and I are on the cusp of potentially large changes in our respective work lives. It's invigorating, but will mean that we have a lot of decisions to make moving forward. I can't wait. Change excites me.
I don't really know what's to come. But I think it's prompting some kind of internal changes, too. It's hard to put my finger on. Perhaps it's that when the scenery changes, it's easier to see yourself clearly and figure out what is important. Possibility is a great motivator. I hope to carry this feeling with me through the year.
OK, enough sugar-fueled introspection. Phin is about to arrive and take me out on a birthday date. But stay tuned for a give away, a few yet-to-be blogged projects and more bday celebration fun.

I doubt that any of these minis will be left by 5pm |

ReplyDeleteI don't know about acting your age (whatever that means), but you certainly don't look it. I might have to hate you.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you with my favourite birthday song.

Happy birthday. Those cakes are far too pretty to eat. May 38 be a good year for you. http://myfabrication.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY! This is a great time of year for beautiful changes- yay!- good luck and keep us posted! and yesterday I got to work a wardrobe call for Sesame St. Live. I found myself gazing lovingly at Grover and Cookie -and definitely not acting my age. So count to 38 like the Count (or count down your cupcakes! mwhahah!)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, wow your lunch looked good, hope Phin's date plans can match up to those!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you! And my, those cupcakes look mighty fine. I hope you both have a wonderful evening out together :)
ReplyDeleteHappiest birthday! I hope your year of transition is an excellent adventure.
ReplyDeleteHappy, happy birthday Clio!
ReplyDeleteOne! One delicious cupcake! Two! Two delicious cupcakes! Three.... mwhahahahaha! What an awesome day working for Sesame st!!
ReplyDeleteOh, see I disagree. Two or more were devoured in short order. ;-)
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed! Life is weird.
ReplyDeleteDinner at my favorite tapas joint. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteLOL - Yep, I totally didn't die this year! It's a modest accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I have this growing feeling that the fact that my "kids" are of the knit variety may have something to do with how I look. Well, that and I use sunscreen every day.
Happy Birthday! Those cupcakes look too pretty to be eaten. Whatever changes in your life this year I hope you'll keep on blogging. Have lots of fun!

ReplyDeleteNo fear on the blog front! I still love my digital life and friends!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Clio. Let's hear it for change!
ReplyDeleteHappiest of birthdays, Clio! I like the autonomy being of a certain age affords me, too, and would SO eat a box of cupcakes for lunch. Those are so darn tootin' pretty!
