In a couple days, we will enter the zone known as my birthday month. Not a day, or a weekend, or a week, but a month. A glorious, dog-days of summer, white wine-filled, gift wrapped month. And since July has 31 days I am not cheated out of one self-involved moment!
Although the days of piñatas and pool parties are behind me, I would not miss an opportunity to engage in birthday-centric revelry. In true Leo style, a boozey luncheon at an upscale restaurant has become the ritualistic celebration. There is something incredibly rewarding about looking around a table of a dozen close friends eating, drinking, laughing, and just engaging in festivity, and knowing that they have come simply because you asked them to. It makes a girl feel downright special. For the prideful Leo, it is enough to make her swoon.
And thus, it begins: the month of merriment, and the month of moi!

Happy Birthday, Mad Sci!
I hope that your birthday month has been delicious, and I trust that you are happily boozing it up in style as I write this. Wish I could be there, but thinking of you out here on the west coast (where it will still be your b-day for 3 hours after the party ends on the east coast!).
Thank you, thank you, thank you. The entire month was just perfect. There was a surprise party, a trip to a water park (played hooky on a day of perfect weather), a boozey luncheon, a family dinner, gifts galore (hooray for spa finder gift cards and Coach!), a maybe fundable score on a grant, and provisional acceptance of a short communication in the European Journal of Pharmacology. Fabulous indeed!
