Alles Gute zum Geburtstag!

I'm here at work. It's really beautiful outside. Normally, I like to try and take the day off. Mostly to escape office birthday parties. Unfortunately, I had to come in to the office this year.

However, I'm planning to have a very relaxed weekend and run around alot with my husband, who by the way got me a very, very beautiful early birthday gift.

Three famous people that I share a birthday with: Elie Wiesel, Truman Capote, and strangely enough Confucious (or at least that is when the Chinese recognize his birthday.)

In my past, I've had some trully awful birthdays but I've finally gotten to a point where I have let go of any expectations I have for the day and others' involvement in it. It seems to be working.
