Happy Birthday to Me!

As I'm sitting here in my apartment, enjoying my birthday cupcake (hey, don't judge!), I reflected on my birthday weekend this year:

Friday:
Went to the Scissor Sisters concert with Kendall and Katie (thanks, Katie!). It was such a friggin' blast! Not only did I get my "Filthy/Gorgeous" fix, but OK Go was the opener, and they were really good. Since they finished their set on time, they danced for us! No, not treadmills, the other one. Still highly entertaining.

Saturday:
Went to Cambridge 1 for dinner with the gang. This was our very first restaurant together, way back on the first day of orientation. Oh, good memories. Good choice on pizzas. Mmm, grilled chicken, steak, arugula... fantastic! From there it was a short jaunt over to my place, where so many nights seem to end up. Of course, since Chris wasn't able to join us, we couldn't have Mac n Cheese. It just wouldn't be right. Anyway, we then went to Sunjung and her roommate's party. Very nice digs. I thoroughly approve. After counting down the seconds until midnight...

Sunday:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Yaaay! I'm 23! Yay! With all the friends and family calling, leaving messages, and well-wishing, I felt special! There was a very confusing phone call from Ellen, Dan O, and Josh, a welcome blast from Milwaukee. I think I had just fallen asleep, so I don't recall much, other than being happy that they called! Afternoon: Library. Yeah, lame, I know. But I had a brief to finish, cases to read, and outlines to write. But I had such a great weekend, that I needed a day to get all of my real work done. So what if it was on my actual birthday? So, there's the birthday question: did I get what I wanted? Let's see: I have great friends, a loving family, a great school, a busy life, a warm bed, and good health; I have everything I could ask for.
