31...

No turning back. It's official. I'm 31.

Today is the first time that I can recall ever working on my birthday. I don't recommend it.

K and I have both had a rough week at work this week. He's trying to finish up a major project by tomorrow, and I've been dealing with the usual crap at work plus trying to get as much as I can in a good place before I'm gone for a week. I don't even want to imagine the mess that I'm going to come back to.

Thanks to everyone who sent birthday wishes today. It means a lot to me that you thought of me.

K and I had a lovely steak dinner at iii Forks. Yum! He has been itching to tell me about my birthday present for the past couple of days...I made him hold out until after dinner because I enjoyed the suspense. We're going to Denver to see the Beastie Boys at The Fillmore Auditorium on August 17th! What a great gift! I'm certainly excited to see the Beastie's, but I'm also excited about getting to show K around Denver. He did good. My mom said he's a keeper. Yes, yes, he is.

I got a new digital camera for my birthday from my dad because my old one has been crapping out on me lately. My dad actually gave that one to me for my birthday on the day that I moved to Denver in 2002 (wow, has it really been that long ago?!?), so it definitely served me well. The new one is super sleek and small...perfect timing to try it out next week in Cancun!
