another year older

and deeper in...

{valkyrieh116 via a.practical.wedding}

so I turned, ehem, 34 on monday. these pesky birthdays make me reflect about all kinds of things that normally just, irritate me. what have I done so far, what haven't I done so far, where am I going, what am I doing, bla, bla, bla. 

but. 

I graduated from college (yay Mills!), I got married to my lovely lovely man (but I think you may already know that), and my horoscope says that I'm on the verge of what I have been looking for... I am starting to feel hopeful even.

all in all, it was a good day, and a good weekend, although busy, because I attended a lovely bachelorette party wine tasting, celebrated father's day with G's dad, and then spent a lovely relaxing day mostly in a hammock before heading off to a super fun, darn tasty dinner at art of the table (unfortunately this place is teensy tiny and I couldn't invite all of the friends who apparently wanted to help me celebrate, so I think I'm going to do birthday redux this weekend with a bbq and...) 

CAKE! 

I didn't get a birthday cake. which doesn't really bother me so much, except that I like cake sometimes, and it's my birthday, so. this weekend, cake. 

my friend liana says that it really should be birthday week anyways. 

so, what kind of birthday cake should I have????
