Happy Birthday

Ok, so I was looking forward to the long weekend (my first full weekend after the GRE), and what happens? I go and get sick! And I never get sick. I tried to not let it get to me too much though. Friday I went to Cabo Cantina with two friends for a margarita (you gotta love the margaritas... and as a true Swede, I always ask for extra salt!). Saturday, I was pretty wiped out, but Sunday I went to go dress shopping for the upcoming wedding that I, and many of my friends are about to attend... did I find a dress?! No, but in true me-style, I randomly bought one more Michael Kors watch on Nordstrom once I discovered it was on sale (why am I not like most people and randomly buy cheap stuff instead of stuff like that, that should require some more contemplation before buying it? Granted, I had been thinking about buying a golden watch since I bought the white one). After that, we went to an Asian restaurant where I ate curry with coconut milk. My favorite.

On Sunday night, I met up with  my old roommate for dinner. He made me his world-famous, delicious salad. It was a great night with great conversation. I love talking to really smart, interesting and knowledgeable people (although I sometimes get embarrassed by my lack of world knowledge).

And today was Independence day, and I felt shittier than ever. I still managed to get my butt down to Venice to watch the fireworks with some friends, but that was about it.

Well, let me say this: HAPPY BIRTHDAY USA! I know I backtalk you a lot, but there is love in my heart for you beneath all the ridicule. ;)
