Birthday Musings

Today was my birthday, and it was kind of a milestone one at that. I have officially been on this earth for three and a half decades. I prefer three and a half to thirty five because it makes me sound younger. Right? Yes, I thought so.

I celebrated my big day by taking a great big long nap, banishing my early gray hairs and having a fabulous dinner with Roger at California Grill atop the Contemporary Resort at Walt Disney World. Our reservation was timed perfectly to enjoy the nightly fireworks show which is all about making wishes so it seemed especially appropriate for a birthday celebration. The food and wine were spectacular, and the service was entertaining if not particularly unobtrusive. All in all, it was a good day to start another trip around the sun. Besides, it was fun to get all dressed up and head out for an evening of fine dining.

You'll notice that I casually slipped in the mention of Walt Disney World. It's only fair to warn you that I'm an insane Disney fan. We have annual passes and are in the parks at least once every two weeks if not more often. One of my favorite things about WDW is the dining, and one of our goals is to eat at every restaurant on property. Since I'm a scrapbooker, we take pics of every meal we have so I'll be sharing those pictures and reviews here on my blog. If nothing else, it should make you hungry.

So now that I've rambled about aging, eating and my obsessive love of all things Disney, it's time to head to bed. In closing, I'd just like to add that I hope everyone has as great a birthday on their special day as I had on mine. It's an amazing thing to feel loved, and I hope everyone has the chance to experience that in their lives. A very merry un-birthday to you all!
