A Halloween birthday

Card by Sheila Buchanan Designs

Thanks so much for those of you who braved the unseasonably cold weather to come out for drinks tonight! Yes, there were those strange moments at Bab's where the guy in the Richard Simmonesque spandex costume got a little too close for comfort, or when the troupe of Wonderwomen looked more like a female wrestling team than superheroes. And who can forget the human gum-ball machine whose costume no one could quite figure out till Anna took it upon herself to ask the poor girl... Yup, the perils of celebrating your birthday on the same weekend as when the rest of a college town celebrates Halloween.

Whatever the case may be, insanely cold weather and weird Halloween characters aside, turning 30 has been a blast, and that our friends were around to celebrate it with me made it all the more special. Thanks a ton guys!!
