i was drawn to the ocean

i can't believe i'm 31 years old now.  i just really can't seem to wrap my mind around it.  It doesn't seem possible.  i think this birthday is even harder for me than 30 was for some reason.  i don't get it.

It was John's night to come over and spend time with the kids so Yay! Date Night for Milena and me.  Milena took me to my favourite restaurant, Oriental Wok, for dinner.  Many of you had dinner with me there last year for my birthday.  Sadly, Milena was absent then due to being in the hospital with gallbladder/pancreatitis woes.  Anyway, back to the present day.  We had a lovely dinner.  The food was delicious but the service was less than stellar which is VERY unusual for Oriental Wok.  Mike Wong runs a tight ship, he does.  Well, they brought over the gong and a little cake with a candle in it and several of them sang to me in Chinese--Happy Birthday.  i made my wish and also made sure to rub Buddha's belly on my way out.  i really really hope my wish comes true.

31.  i just can't get over it.
