Yay for birthdays–I’m still a bit jaded but I love event planning and cooking for people–it’ll be fun today XP Mike bought me gorgeous flowers in a wicker birch basket and two huge number balloons–so sweet!! The flowers smell gorgeous–a bright summer bouquet with pink carnations, yellow daisies, and red roses. I’ll open a few gifts this morning, let mom sleep in, then we’ll go to lunch in the afternoon at my favorite restaurant at Santana Row–Tanglewood! I haven’t been there since our Secret Sister dinner. The waiters are all super cute, the food is amazing–especially the salads, and their drinks are bar none. Then Cassie comes over after–there’s lobster on the menu tonight along with carrot cake, tropical fruit salad, and strawberry sangria. A fruity, summery party because I’m hoping it will break tradition and not rain today =) Still unusually cold for this time of year–windy with a biting chill that lingers despite the sunshine.
My Japanese class is almost over–3 more sessions. My attention is wavering–it seems like the more I study the less I learn. I guess that’s a not-so-subtle hint to start studying for the GMAT. Plus the interview was a miss so I have to send in resumes with Kelly. It’s so frustrating–I have excellent marketable skills in a tight market.
The protest is in San Francisco tomorrow–I really want to go but Mike does have a point—it’s not really fair to the torch bearer. But then again–who’s fault is it that China was picked to host the games? I’ve never been to a political rally–not one that’s central issue anyway. That would be neat to see the torch being carried ^_^
I received so many nice cards this year from Laura, Uncle Allen, and Babi. I wish I could send thank yous for sending cards XP I don’t need gifts–I just like a day set aside for me when everyone knows I’m special for the day XP Speaking of which I seriously need to go to a bar to get free drinks lol
