Every year I say I want to do something for my birthday with a large group of friends. Every year I don’t. This year I’m okay with that.
Lately I’ve been spending a lot of time with my friend Amanda. And at the beginning of the month we sat down to try and think of things we could do for my birthday. The ironic part is that we did make plans to do things that sounded cool, but due to uncontrollable circumstances, they weren’t anything we could do for my birthday. But that’s okay because through it all I realized that I just want to keep doing things I’ve never done before. I want to continue to have new experiences. I want to continue to enjoy life, and sometimes I want that joy to come from random outings. That’s what matters most. We now have tickets to the Opera in June. And in the next month or so we’ll be going on a train ride though the redwoods. In fact, just last week we ended up in Noe Valley where I had one of the best burgers ever, followed by the most delicious Lemon Drop Cupcake, lots of window shopping, and good conversation. Who needs specific birthday plans when we keep making fabulous plans just because?!

Tiiiina! I love when we hang out. I'm looking forward to the train ride (though we might need to postpone until after this crazy rain) and the opera. I just listened to the opera last night (well, 2.5 hours of it - still had 30 minutes to go, but I couldn't do it.. I think the costumes and theatrics will pull me through to the end). ;) We're gonna live the heck out of this life!!
