Yes, it is my birthday. Another day to reflect on the past year and assess my future prospects.

This was my first full year as somebody's mother. That's been wild. I've watched this person transform from a literal blob into this intelligent, interesting, talented, funny person.

I quit my job only to get the same job with someone else with less stress and fewer hours. Gotta do something about getting this same job over and over.

Aram and I have had fun. Haven't we?

So Aram bought me a skateboard for my birthday.
Fresh, huh? This means I have to learn to use it.

I will post pictures as I learn.

I think I have to get serious about yoga (again). It keeps me sane.

I'm also going to make an album of acoustic tracks and call it "a la ska" or something. Maybe "idiot girl". Or maybe "idiot girl a la ska (one cold bitch)". I think I like that one. Good title. I'll get right on it. In the meantime, i wil get back to earning money at my same old job.
