Happy Birthday to Me!

It's my birthday and despite being buried under a pile of work (literally thousands of emails to sort through!) and having a 'to do' list that is several legal-sized sheets long, all is well!  I love the job, our friends took us out to lunch today to a new Thai place that was really good, I had a nice boost of caffeine, and the weather is perfectly warm and breezy.  (No, that isn't my birthday cake in the picture; I took that picture several years ago at a fancy bakery and I just thought it looked appropriate for this post).
