My friend Jen's birthday is March 30th. Yep, that was yesterday. I SWORE her birthday was tomorrow, which I also swore was March 31.

My friends Brian and Laurie are getting married and I am singing at their wedding. I feel a little bad because Laurie didn't get much of a choice in the matter. Brian and I have been friends since we were about 10, and a death threat was issued to him somewhere in our teens if he did NOT have me singing at his wedding.

You know, I try to remain optimistic...I really do. Even though I'm feeling pretty defeated in the love department, I have a few personals ads online that I keep there "just in case." I haven't met anyone from online in literally YEARS, because quite frankly there hasn't been one "quality" man to contact me.

Ah, reviews. Had the first half of mine today, and the second half tomorrow. You know how I'm always saying that I'm going to get fired and then I don't actually get fired? Yeah, that's not this time. Well, sorta.

For those of you who don't know, I've been trying out the carb-free way of life. I started the second week of January and have lost 19 lbs, but for the last week I haven't lost anything thanks to Mother Nature. My body is now retaining enough to have me declared an official body of water on the map. Still, 19 lbs isn't so bad.

So today was is/was my birthday. Now don't go feeling bad that you didn't say anything, it's not like you knew. It's my Sweet 16 X 2. I'm 32 today.
The thing about it is, I was feeling very Molly Ringwald today because it seemed like nobody remembered for the first half of the day. Let me give you a few examples:

Well kids, it's Friday the 13th - one day before Valentine's Day. I love seeing people happy and in love - and despite it being a mass-marketed greeting card/chocolate holiday, there's something about all the red and love in the air that makes me happy. It also makes me just a little bit sad because I don't have someone who loves me, but mostly just happy that there's a wholeTauniahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11891401506948609114noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129984.post-1076448108131694402004-02-10T16:21:00.000-05:002004-02-10T16:34:16.200-05:00 I am SO ghetto!
Over the weekend, we had a gig in Hartford, Connecticut. We got all the way there and I realized that I left my nice black boots back in Boston and only had my giant, clunky pink timberland boots. Now, you know mama ain't wearin' no hiking boots up onstage, yo. We had some time to kill once we got there, so we went on a quest for a shoe store.
