27...

Yep, that's how old I am now. Forgot to mention in my earlier post that yesterday was my birthday. It was a nice, low-key birthday. I am just thrilled it didn't fall on the first week of school this year. Last year I was so exhausted on my birthday that I came home, took a bubble bath, and went to bed early.
Santi got me a bouquet of roses and took me dinner to Maria Maria La Cantina. I told him I didn't want to do anything big since I had just spent quite a bit of money on my girl's trip to New York. Dinner was fabulous. As a lover of good food, I usually avoid "chain" restaurants. Maria Maria is technically speaking a chain since it has several locations....but it pales in comparison to most chain joints. It is owned by Carlos Santana (love) and run by an executive chef. It is basically an upscale Mexican place. The environment is really great...very chic. They had a live band playing Bob Marley and I enjoyed some amazing steak tacos and of course a margarita. It was a lovely birthday.
Day one of being 27 has almost come to an end, and so far I don't feel much different that I did at 26...that's good right? I'm still young and fun, right? Okay, it's 9 on a Saturday night and I am lounging around in my p.j.'s playing on the computer. Who am I kidding? That's okay, I am kind of a homebody these days. It's nice just to relax in my favorite place. I am hoping that 27 brings many wonderful things my way, and really praying that this is the year I become a mom. I don't want to see my 28th birthday without a baby in tow.
