Birthday Balloons

Well, I'm officially 27 today! Somehow 27 feels way older than 26... I guess because I don't think I can say I'm in my mid-twenties anymore. Mid-to-late twenties, maybe. The last couple of birthdays were a little strange (as anyone who has gone through a bad breakup will tell you, celebrating alone can be a difficult adjustment), but I'm in much more of a birthday mood these days. Although I'm still indecisive about what direction I want to take as far as my career is concerned, I feel (mostly) pretty good about where I am right now. I'm trying to learn to take things as they come and to enjoy them as they happen – as much as a type A personality can, anyway!

I've actually been so busy that I didn't have much of a chance to think about what I'd be doing today. I'm in rehearsals for a project that goes up around Christmastime (it's a stage production of Holiday, which was made into a film starring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant), and I also performed in a historical ghost walk last weekend, which was a fun experience. Once I finally had a moment to breathe, I finally decided on having afternoon tea with my mom and going out for BBQ with my parents and best friend Wayne tonight. I have a rare night off from rehearsal, so it'll be nice to be able to relax and have fun today. Now I just have to decide what to wear!
