Another year older

Yesterday was my birthday - I'm now 28 years old.  As usual, I don't really feel any older or more mature.  I am hopeful though for this year to be better than my 27th.  Overall, the day was pleasant and enjoyable.  My mom came up for lunch and bought me a beautiful necklace and earrings from African Adorned.  We also spent some time browsing a couple of books at Borders.  Then Mir took me out to a wonderful dinner at Tellers. We had an amazing appetizer - a salt cod baccala with fried polenta sticks - and a equally delicious main course - Penne with Salmon and Asparagus in a lemon butter and cream sauce.  Then for dessert, of course , we had Teller's amazing Tiramisu and a shot of espresso. The above picture was taken at dinner (*props to Mir for an amazing photo! I love the contrast in it!) Then we headed over to Henry's where, surprisingly, quite a few people joined me and Mir for my birthday. I had a great time talking to Pepe, Rich, Bridget, Aaron and Steph.  It was a late night, but totally worth it!
