Whoa Nelly it’s going to be warm today. I actually regretting not taking today as a holiday. Mmmm a beach day at the end of September. What better way to celebrate your (or in my case, my) existence. Indeed I had loft plans for my 28th birthday. Visits to the spa, sleeping in, copious amount of cupcake batter and some dedicated sitting on my ass time. All of that would have been great. But I elected to work today, and I actually feel quite good about it. I’m fortunate that I like my job and who’s kidding who, I have a photo exhibition opening on Monday so there would be no possibility of truly relaxing today had I taken it off.

Still, a birthday at work could still be pretty fun. I’ve been promised cupcakes, I could take a couple of minutes to shape my nails at my desk and I will be spending of good portion of the day sitting on my ass, albeit in front of a computer. Though I think today, just for fun, I’ll spend most of the day wearing a party hat. Just cause it’s my birthday and I can.

Today’s sing-a-long song (as suggested by Roland and Conny, givers of the Star Wars OT DVD Trilogy and all around wonderful people): “Happy Birthday” traditional.
