Happy Birthday to Me!

Ok, so it's almost a week late, but it's also probably the most exciting thing that's happened to me this week.  On Monday, December 6th, I turned 34.  I'm going through this weird phase right now where I've started to act like I'm 24 again - going to happy hours, gossipping with the girls, and generally not acting (or dressing "my age".  For the most part I'm enjoying this harmless renaissance, but sometimes I wonder whether it will affect my reputation at work or how people see me as a professional.  We're not talking about dancing drunk on tables or anything like that, but still...

I'm not sure this really relates to my now basically defunct eBay business - I'm fact, I'm sure it doesn't - but the thing with the business is once I got all the strategies down it became very transactional and frankly there wasn't all that much to write about.  "Another item sold.  I shipped it today.  Wish it had gone for more.  Oh well" doesn't make for a very titillating blog entry.  Soooo I'll tell you about the shoes I bought myself as a birthday present!  They are sparkly.  Very very sparkly.  I wore them to my office holiday party.  I also wore a little black dress significantly shorter than anyting I would ever dare wear to the office.

It may have something to do with the 30 lbs I've lost since my son was born - or the 15 lbs I've lost in the last 6 months.  Or maybe it's a midlife crisis.  Whatever it is, I hope it wear off soon - it's really taking a toll on my wallet! :)

Oh my goodness -- Enjoy it while you can! Do not worry for a minute about your reputation or how you look to others. Go out and have fun and live life to its fullest! I'm glad you're enjoying the holidays! And happy belated bday!

Those shoes are perfection - I bet you rocked them in your little black dress! And I'm sure your coworkers are envious, not judging!
