In case your day is dragging and you'd like some distractions, I've got a few photos of my b-day party under the cut. I got a piƱata! Hee.
[Oh, and for anyone that may have worried about me having Something Dreadful in my Sinuses, I do. It's a cold. =/]
( I'm pretty low key - and I think I've had...one birthday party since I was 18? Either I suck, or my friends suck, I don't know. :D )
As one does when they become old and boring (hooray!) I've been thinking on all the things I wanted to accomplish by the time I hit 40 - and how arbitrary that birthday is. It's kind of ridiculous to set up expectations for having ticked off x number of items on your Life Goals by a certain age. Don't get me wrong: I think it's important to set goals. I just don't think people need to beat themselves up for not achieving them by a specific time stamp. (I say this so I don't have a sad, of course.)
( I may not have won an Emmy/Tony/Oscar or walked the Great Wall, but I've done a hell of a lot of other unplanned things that are pretty sweet. )
