life's a funny thing

yesterday i had, what i think was one of the best birthday's ever. why.... you ask was it so good? well, because each and every moment of the day - aside from a random call bringing somewhat ominous news, was decided by yours truly. i decided to do whatever i wanted, when i wanted and be totally and completely selfish with my time.
here's what transpired:

  1. no work
  2. chaya swimming (she is part dog and part fish) while spending time hanging out with a good friend
  3. a few hours of mtn biking
  4. late night margaritas with some of the best peeps in town AND AND i didn't even have to pay
  5. random e-card from someone past... every girl loves a good mystery. if you are reading this, thank you kind stranger who wishes to remain anonymous. i did get my ice cream but it was right at midnight - the margarita topped things off.
  6. to add to things today a friend brought in the best home made cupcakes ever to my lab as a surprise along with her crazy pup. what a treat! and it wasn't even my birthday!!!
post-cupcake / surprise dog visit i sat down for my first eco study group. candidacy is going to kick my ass but... i have a very determined and firm ass so it should bounce back. afterall, i am a cyclist.

the good news - compared to the first study group that i sat through years ago, many of the questions are now familiar. even if i don't know the answer, i have an idea of what the answer is - or atleast where to look to find it. this is good.

the bad news - i have a LOT, in fact a BUTTLOAD to cover in a relatively short time. and yes butload IS a technical term. you'd know this if you were also an eco-grad.

onward march. my super exciting 8pt font, 700 page, duotone text book that could also serve as a fine paper weight / ship anchor calls...
