Yesterday at 6:43 PM I turned 30. Today feels like the ultimate New Year's Day. My 20's were a muddled stretch of melodrama and illness. Thank god that's over with. It's refreshing to start this brand new decade all sparkly and clean. Thirty. I say it out loud. It sounds... evolved. Civilized. I have arrived.
My birthday weekend was a fabulous orgy of celebration, including a day at the Seattle Aquarium (it's Octopus Week!), breakfast at the Crocodile, and a trip to Orcas Island where we watched a border collie round up lambs, scouted out the peak of Mount Constitution, roamed the shops of the tiny town, ate dinner overlooking the Sound at sunset, and watched a movie in the car while waiting for the ferry. Yesterday I opened my presents and went out for insanely decadent curry on Queen Anne at Thai Kitchen -- which I highly recommend.
I have new photos up documenting both the Aquarium and Orcas Island. Check it out.
