Birthday & Work


So, I have decided today that I will never work on my birthday again. A birthday is supposed to be a celebration. I had a wonderful lunch at The Cheesecake Factory with the ladies from work which was really nice. I tried a new dish (Fish & Chips) and we shared (the 5 of us!) one piece of Tuxedo cheesecake (pictured above)....DELICIOUS!! But, it was not like pampering myself or indulging in some birthday relaxation.

Tonight when I got home, my parents were waiting in the parking lot to wish me a happy birthday (and bring a surprise present!!) It was nice to have them here when I got home. Made it feel like more of a birthday to have a quick visit.

Maybe I am getting to old to celebrate my birthday. No, I know, I am not old. But, I may be too old to celebrate birthdays. I am not getting old, just wiser right? Well, my new wisdom as I turn 27 is that I will never work on my birthday again. Advice that will work for at least the next 28 years (wishful thinking!!) or so until I retire.
