double threes

at times it's hard to believe that i am now 33. yes, that's right kids, 33. and you know, for a brief moment i felt the usual "older person's opposition" to my age increasing today but then got over it pretty quickly...i guess i might hold the unpopular belief (of people as old as me) that at my age, i think i'm still young (with lots to learn, apparently). the girls from the tv show, sex in the city helped me see that i'm still going uphill in life (they were all in their mid to upper thirties).

i had a great day with my family-getting tay's 4 year old studio pictures taken and some light shopping and then a wonderful dinner out & opening presents with my "texas-adopted" family. the observance of my birthday just ended about an hour ago, with a phone call with my mom back in hawaii. 12 hours of celebrating...this "youngen" is pooped. thanks to my families, and for all the phone calls and emails guys...you made me feel so special today!

later =)
