Another One Down

Today is my 29th birthday. I looked in the mirror this morning and said to myself, "Almost 30." Then I said a choice 4-letter word and headed out the door to work. Twenty-nine seems like a really boring number to me, as does 39, 49 and so forth. I'm going to need to do really adventurous things this year to make it momentous. I'd love to try zip lining (or ziplining; depending upon which site you visit) so maybe I'll look into that. They make zip line kits for home but I'd like to try it in the rain forest or something like that where I have to dodge spider monkeys as huge leaves slap me in the face.



These were taken in Costa Rica (from a website search). Yep, that's a three-toed sloth (on the right). Pretty cool.

Also, plans are underway for a week long trip in January to Paris and London with my mom. I'm getting more excited as the days pass. It will be cold but that might not be so bad. We'll be in a mad rush to see as much as possible but I'm up to the challenge. Mom is working on figuring out the flight/tube/train travel and hotel arrangements. I've been focusing on more important things; my outfits. I'll be packing super lite so every garment counts. We took a trip to REI in Atlanta recently and I got the best hiking shoes ever. Actually, I love all my purchases. Anyway, Happy Birthday to me!
