well happy birthday. 39 is an amazing time... a time for growth, change, knowing yourself, and looking to the future and what you want that to look like.... enjoy, and i personally hope one day you will live in an airstream off the grid.

I had a dream of an airstream that started maybe 5 years ago, and last year it came true... so keep it at the forefront of your mind and it will apear!

happy birthday..i did not know you were allergic to eggplant
that career start as a "don't touch the plant" girl served you well.
