obligatory 37th birthday post

So today's my 37th birthday. It's hard to believe I'm turning 40 in three years. I guess I'll no longer be considered "young" soon. Hope rejuvenation becomes possible before I get too old. :P

I didn't have much of a celebration — which has been pretty standard — but Mom made me a lovely birthday cake. It was absolutely beautiful and tasted really good too. I'm sure people would beat down our door if she ever decides to start her own bakery business.

We also invited two couples to our house for lunch on Saturday. Mom's friend Suzie is a foodie like me and also loves to take food pictures. Her husband Kim is from Denmark and brought us some delicious homemade Danish pancakes. This wasn't a birthday party per se because it had been planned for a while, but it's always nice to have people over.

Another nice thing is my cousin Cathy said she sent me a package. She says it should arrive in a week or so. Can't wait to see what's inside. :-)

October 17 update: I just received the package that Cathy and her husband Andrew sent me. Inside was a heart puzzle containing all kinds of sweet messages. Love you two. <3
