Odds and Bobs (or, "Recent Tidbits")

-- So I turned 30. It was way exciting, especially because I got to go to work all day in the rain!  Party is next weekend; more to come.

--  When you have your own family, it's sort of an unwritten rule that you stop buying stuff for yourself, particularly pretty stuff.  My folks sent me the best goody box of Kiehl's aging creams and called to explain that they don't think I look old, just that I need to pamper myself.  That convo was much sweeter than it sounds.

-- BBC 1's Sherlock is super funny.

-- HD enjoyed my birthday balloons on my behalf. She's also learning the parts of a drum kit, and practicing on her toy pots. Partridge Family here we come!

-- Finally, my kid is extra pretty.
