I had such a wonderful birthday! My favorite thing about my birthday is the sensation of entitlement I feel the whole day long. That feeling of, “I can give myself permission to do ANYTHING because today’s my birthday!” is one I look forward to all. year. long.
And this birthday was honestly so great. In the evening my friend, Jean, arrived and we picked her up from the airport as a family. We were going to try to all drive to my friend’s husband’s piano concert, but it got too crazy so we just drove to Rodizio’s and ate a lot. Also, I showed her Reid Moon’s bookstore, which is so impressive. (It’s full of incredible rare books and artifacts.)
