Happy Birthday . . . to ME!

The big 3-0!

I can't believe it!  30 years old!



Today I plan on celebrating by spending my day with Maia while Romas is at work.  Maybe we'll go into town and have lunch together.  She can help me pick out a new eye shadow from the local department store.  I'm sure she'll be very helpful ;)

Tonight Romas is taking me to my favorite Italian restaurant in town.  We'll eat a yummy dinner and enjoy a night together as a family.  (And I might even have some Tiramisu while we're there!)

For today's post I thought it would be fun to share some random facts about me!
  • I was a veterinary technician for almost 8 years.  I miss working in a medical environment.  I used to love working in the lab, running blood tests and setting up slides and cultures.  But my favorite was drawing blood and placing IV catheters.  
  • I don't drink milk or eat eggs.  Both gross me out.
  • I'm conversational in both French and Spanish.  My undergraduate degree was in Foreign Languages (French and Spanish) but I also studied a year of both Italian and American Sign Language.  (Do any of you find it ironic that I did not study German and ended up living here for 4+ years?!?!)
  • I LOVE to bake and would bake everyday if I could.  Fortunately for my waistline, Maia does not allow me to bake everyday.  (When I do bake, I try to send most of it to work with Romas or I bring it to a neighbor.  If it's here, we'll eat it!)
  • I was a vegetarian for 7 years in high school and college.  I got REALLY sick when I decided to start eating meat again.  Guess I should have been a little more gradual in my return to life as a carnivore!
  • I'm a sucker for homeless animals.  We have two from a shelter and one from a rescue group.  Did I mention that one is "special needs" and we have to order prescription food from the veterinarian every month in order to try to prevent hospitalizations?  Yup.  Told you I'm a sucker.
  • Since moving to Germany in November 2007 we've traveled to 24 countries, Mallorca and Sardinia.
  • I have naturally curly hair that drives me crazy!  Everyone always tells me how blessed I am to have curly hair, but I'd love to have straight hair that doesn't frizz.  The grass is always greener, isn't it?
Hope you have a great day!  I know I will!
