Like a flash...

That's how fast this post is going to be.  Where have I been?  Well, work mostly.  That, and recovering from bronchitis.  THAT'S RIGHT!  Who gets freaking bronchitis in May?  Well apparently a lot of people--the waiting room at the doctor's office was full of people with similarly impressive coughs.  We could have formed a musical super-group.  In fact, I think we inadvertently did a couple of verses from the Carmina Burana (and just think, all this is before I got the codeine cough syrup).

But anyhow, I am chilling at home right now, having just performed my fastest packing job ever.  I'm off in a bit to beautiful sunny Vancouver (true story!  They have better weather for a change, than we do here in NYC right now.)  We will be celebrating Py's birthday, and belatedly celebrating mine.  Yes, it's true...I am another year older.  Not really another year more mature though...


Not a whole lot of difference between the before and after, except maybe the size of my head and the cake.


Well, on that note, allow me to leave you with a parting shot of the inside of my tiny cake.  Oh yeah, that's a whole lotta pink.  Yay for pink!  I can't wait to get to Vancouver, spot prawn season is (I think) still going...mmm....prawny goodness for me sooooon....

Happy Memorial Day, everyone!  Don't forget to go to the 5 Boro Picnyc (Saturday is sold out but Sunday still has tickets available) and report back on how it was! (Oh, one more thing! My new favorite blog! Go check out Boots in the Oven--I have been reading back through the archives, and it is SO MUCH FUN TO READ. And is giving me all kinds of travel ideas...)
