• My golden birthday came and went. I feel like this might be the year when I actually remember my age when asked. Side note: why do people think it’s appropriate to asked a younger person’s age? They would never do that to someone who was over 30! Side-site note: I made a comment the other day about something I did in my “young twenties” and, let me tell you, that freaked me out! Whoa.
• Las Vegas was exhausting in every way imaginable AND it was equally amazing. At one point, I used the phrase “drained and refueled” because that’s honestly what it felt like.
• My sister-in-law makes the best birthday cakes.
• The Fault In Our Stars was a book that was recommended to me and so I casually picked it up on Saturday afternoon and started reading. At 1 AM the next morning, I wiped away my last tears, sniffled into my tissue, and closed the book. To say that this is a must-read is an understatement. You must read it. I’m still on a Fault hangover even now.
• I miss the Nevada sunshine. I hear we’re getting a 60-something heat front tomorrow, which has me unreasonably excited out of my mind. I might wear sandals or something!

Addendum: This is creepy! Just as I posted this, I realized that this is my 26th bullet list that I’ve published. Twenty-six. Which is how old I am and my golden birthday day.
