hihihi!!!
Let me start out by thanking you all for the sweetest outpouring of birthday wishes!!!
I felt so loved on my special day...you are the best!

and YES, I had a fabulous day!!
If my celebration is any indication of how my coming year will be, I have NOTHING to worry about. Granted, I woke up with a terrible head cold, but seeing as I was on death's doorstep last year this time, I think this shows a marked improvement, don't you agree?

Crusty eyes and snotty nose aside, things simply couldn't have gone better.
Travis fed me lots of chinese food and surprised me with tickets to see John Mayer this weekend (OMGOMGOMG, I lurve john mayer!!!) along with a stay at a super fun kick-ass cool hotel so I can get all sloppy drunk and celebrate!! (lol)
and my Mommy and Pop paid for my train ticket to go to LA next month! *gasp* Now that I am off disability and back at work, money is getting harder and harder to come by, so this was a MAJOR weight off my back! Now I can go on vacation to visit with all my rad ass friends, and take lotsa pictures and just be a generally happy girl without having to worry about fundage!

and oh yeah, ma bought me a tube of my fave Dior mascara too...so my eyeballs can keep looking purdy for ya.
AND, I got ze german chocolate cake....
wohlschmeckend!!! (google says that means "tasty"...can any germans confirm?? lol)

nomnomnom!
So, for my birthday, I am giving you all a lil gift!

(yeah, they're small pix...you'll have to wait awhile for the full sized deviations)
Taken at the Marin Headlands/Bunkers in June, '08.
**Fun fact: this is the first time I have done a shoot and allowed my insulin shot bruises to show. (see: giant black marks on my tummy)
