Happy Birthday to Me

Well, it's my 31st birthday today and I'm glad to say there's not much excitement to this particular age. To make sure I started this year right, Milo was kind enough to help me start my new year by waking me with a brisk face licking. Thank you, Milo.

Bryon and I don't have much planned for today - it's Father's Day and the crowds at anything fun will be overwhelming. We might try to go bowling in Studio City depending on how crowded it is. But we are going out to dinner to one of my favorite restaurants, La Frite on Ventura. It's a tiny little French cafe; you'd barely notice the place on the street, but they make the best baked brie I've ever had, and their carrot cake is unbelievable.

Kinda wish I were home in Chicago today...my birthday falls on Father's Day every so often and it's been a while since I saw my dad for FD. What can I say - I miss the old man. I was thinking of trying to come home but the plane fare was just too much. I also feel like I need to get out of LA for a few days since I lost my job - my office was at home so it's really hard to to just forget about. I've been applying and job searching like a maniac but so far the only jobs I'm being offered are for financial sales positions - no thanks and yawn. I might be able to sell an educational resource (and even those skills are apparently questionable) but there's no way I'll make it as an life insurance enthusiast!

Happy Father's Day to any dads I've got out there...you know who you are ;)
