29 and counting...

Even vegans can have birthday fun! Yesterday was my birthday.  And I have to be honest, as much as I'd love to love my birthday, I just don't.  Every year I try to enjoy the day and be excited about it, but every year I wake up in a funk...and then Richie tells me how ridiculous I am...

Nonetheless, I can't seem to get excited about my birthday.  I'm not in the celebratory mood.  I'm just funky.

I can't help but feel like it's a reminder of all the things I have not yet accomplished.  And though I know that life takes it's turn and often at times the best parts are what life throws us, I can't help but wish I were more successful in certain aspects.

I did my best to see the glass half full and not let my birthday hold me down and here's what I'd really like to work on for this next year:

1. A NEW BABY!  Avi needs a sister or brother;)

2. Getting the most out of my holistic nutrition program.

3. Building my fledgling jewelry collection into a solid business with my friend Elle (my new partner).

4. Finishing my cookbook.

5. Growing this blog!

By mid-afternoon I had successfully avoided falling into the abyss of my funkiness and made some plans for the evening.  We ventured into neighborhood-to-be with our friends Michelle and Dan for some evening adventures and alcohol.  It turned out to be a fun night and I'm thoroughly glad my birthday has passed and I can go back to regular life without all the pressure:)
