Wedding Reception on Camano Island

Birthday Top Ten and see you next year!

no time to write.... so damn busy... can't get over my cold because I am out so much... what a great way to live!

Top 10 ways to celebrate one's birthday
10. Make sure to do it in another country where no one knows the time difference. That way you can celebrate it for 2, 3 or even four days because emails start early and end late!
9. Play with sick kids at elementary school and make sure your sickness gets worse
8. Same sick kids play a song for you on their recorders after you've finished teaching.
7. Get hit by a car on your way home from work
6. Make Latkes for your friends and introduce them to Chanukah even though it's the following week. Learn how to make apple sauce and serve that also.
5. Receiving a card from the grandparents ON the day.... prefect timing... though I loved all of the cards I got, even the early ones!
4. Miss the last day of school because you STILL can't get over your cold
3. Go to your favorite restaurant and have a spectacle made of you
2. Receive a birthday cactus from said (Mexican) restaurant
1. Have the most amazing meal with friends two night in a row... thank you for such a warm time despite its being so damn cold!

And with that.... the big picture at the top explains it all. Leaving in 5 hours to the airport.... to Myanmar for 12 days, Bangkok for 2 days... Happy Chanukah, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and a huge shout out to my brother Jake for his birthday, my Grandma Lily for her birthday, and my grandparents, Grandma Pooh (like the warm cuddly bear..) and Saba on their anniversary!

See you soon.. next year!
