My Birthday week
I had a great week being honored by all sorts of cards, cakes and phone calls for my birthday. Thanks so much to all!
On Friday, Aliyah took me out to eat for lunch at a new burrito place by our house Qdoba. It was pretty good for a $6 lunch. We had a veggie burrito and guacamole. mmm…
My in-laws gave me a gift of going out to dinner! So Jonathan took me out to a swanky restaurant in DC called Urbana. We had fun with tastings of three different organic red wines. My phone was ringing with people calling with birthday wishes all throughout dinner!
On Saturday night, Erich a friend in my quintet had two extra tickets to see Emmanuel Pahud playing the G Major Mozart Concerto with the National Symphony Orchestra. Since Lauren and I were both having birthdays in the same week, we went together for a girls night out. Pahud was great–such a showy performer! The second half of the concert featuring Dvorak and Smetana was super exciting.
I had a great weekend. Thanks to all of you who called, wrote, & messaged me. I felt very special and I promise to get back to you all to catch up soon.

Yay! I’m glad you had a good birthday! We’ll have to do some more family celebrating when you get into California
