I never did post about my birthday.

It was perfect. Lovely and low key. Slept in late, stayed in bed with the boy until 2pm, ate insanely decadent and piping hot Cheese Board pizza for lunch, went and saw Up!, and then met Frances, Jonathan, and Emily for a late dinner at Zachary's.

I had been trying to plan something bigger and more exciting, but in retrospect, it was about as perfect as it could have been.

Last year, I set some personal goals at my birthday dinner.

1. Get some poetry published - legit, paid-for-it, in-a-magazine published.
2. Get properly settled into my new city Apartment, job, dog. Done.
3. Be more fiscally responsible (open up an ING Direct account for savings, etc.) Savings account/nest egg growing as we speak.
4. Possibly meet someone There's a boy / his name is Paul / he's cute and sweet / and very tall.

And I'm making progress re: the publishing - submitting things every few weeks.

So... new goals for this year!

1.) Study for the GREs and do well
2.) Get into graduate school
3.) Continue writing and the quest for publication
4.) Continue to save teh monies
6.) Exercise more

Woo-hoo!
