It's my birthday!

Well readers, I'm 29 today.  I woke up not feeling any older or wiser, so...yeah.  Just to make sure my looks didn't go overnight, I made sure to take full stock of myself in the bathroom mirror this morning.  No wrinkles yet, but holy f*ck my pores are HUGE!  At this rate, by the time I'm 60 I'll be able to store loose change in my face.  (After I post this, I'm going to look into overpriced potions at Sephora.)

I'm feeling pretty good about my life at 29.  I'm starting a new job on Monday that comes with an awesome raise, so I think my career is on track.  I won a gym membership for the year, so I'm getting more healthy and fit.  And also, they finally found proof that I have gallstones, so now my doctor can stop accusing me of being an alcoholic, and I can get the damn thing removed.  Things are looking up!

As for how my online dating experiment is going, it's harder than I thought.  I kind of lost momentum and let dating take a back seat while I was winding down at my old job.  So that's why the blog has been a bit slow lately.  I'm not really communicating with anyone apart from Will the Englishman.  (We had lunch today, but that will be its own post!)

This is an exciting year so far!  I'm feeling really good about 2012, and looking forward to being 29.  This is my year to shine!
