This is a bittersweet 12. It's my birthday but it's also my first 12 without Worf, who passed away September 23rd. Actually, it's my first birthday in 16 years without Worf. Needless to say, I miss my White Boy.
Woke up LATE today. I haven't been sleeping well lately, so I let myself sleep until 11 am. Considering I didn't fall asleep until 4-something, that was kind of me. Worfer watches over me.
Breakfast is pineapple - absolutely yummy pineapple. Mom, if you're reading this, it just took until yesterday to ripen and it's perfect today. (She bought the pineapple for me while I was visiting last weekend and it wasn't ready to eat yet.)
Holy frak!! It was just 87 degrees this past weekend and now it's 60. WTF???? Brrrrrr........
Working out to The Firm. Yes, my mighty 5 lb. weights. Still, I do a lot of sets of reps and don't end up looking like some crazed she-man on steroids...
The vet made a cast of Worf's paw prints, which is very sweet. I'm going to mount them in a small shadowbox to hang on the wall. *sigh*
My aunt Carol sent me some photos of me, my brother (the tallest) and my two cousins in my birthday card. We all were so cute!
Today was the big haircut day. Shearing the Michele sheep. Here are the remnants of my longer locks....
And here's my new do. I love it! I'm getting new headshots done on Wednesday so I have to play with styling it this weekend to decide how I want it in my shots. It's so SHINY! My hairdresser, JD, is da bomb. Seriously - he's really good. He does what I ask. Amazing!
BONUS PIC = ORANGE. Every kind of orange and some lovely big pumpkins. I love pumpkins. They are pies dreaming of creation in every orb.
More orange - actually where I ate lunch was decorated primarily in orange and I really like these orange mosaic tables. Delicious falafel sandwich at Elyssa on 9th Ave. and 49th St. They know how to cook Middle Eastern food - everything I've ever had there is awesome and fresh.
My coworker, Tricia, is the queen of birthdays. She lives in Queens near this bakery, the Scala Italian bakery in Maspeth, and gets cakes for all of us and the attorneys every birthday and main event. This is a cannolli cake that is so good, it can only be described as "ambrosia". I was in heaven. Absolutely delish!
Ready to go, already!! I actually didn't think I'd be doing anything, but my work buddy, John, suggested we go out for tequila. Can't turn that down!
John and I after a shot and a drink. Good times!
Well, that is all for this month - see you all next time!
