Another Year Older

So I was doing a fine job of ignoring my birthday yesterday until people kept calling and asking why I wasn't celebrating it. I don't know why. I thought spending an enjoyable day reading out on my deck was a very nice celebration. It didn't involve spending money, getting drunk or anything else I didn't really feel like doing. All I needed was some warm sunshine, a nice breeze, my dog and a couple of good books.

Here's a recap:

Slept until I felt like getting up
Played with the dog
Grabbed a book and sat on the deck reading
Went to the grocery store, Subway and Post Office (Look, I went out to eat!)
Grabbed another book and continued reading (the power was out for quite a while at this point)
Attended conference call for work
Worked
Baked a cake with one too few eggs
Worked some more
Went to bed

I should also mention that my parents took me out for my birthday a couple weeks ago when I was home. And I went to a Twins game, which didn't have anything to do with my birthday, but we can pretend. They even gave me a leash as a present.
