(______)1-derful

I am (something)1-derful today. Yes, it's my birthday today and I officially enter a new decade of life. Wow. Here is hoping it is one of the best yet for me. (not like i have soo many)

And now for prezzies! Super D gifted me with an amazing camera set up! A new Nikon D7000 and three lenses. Wow. This thing is awesome. And I really enjoy the mix of creativity and technical ability in photography. It is a fun thing! I haven't really got into photo editing and creating stuff with photoshop as I'm still learning and growing. But I love it. The only excuse for a bad picture now should be "me".

D from Texas is such a unique gift giver! She has given me such cool, interesting gifts over the years. Some of my coolest old monster movie things have come from her. She must really browse etsy to find these things. And I greatly appreciate it. But this year she went big! Wow, who has a sister in law like this?

I now am the proud owner of an iron sculpture of my name, Rowdy, about 3 feet wide and almost 1 foot tall!! My rowdyroom, aka the garage is sooooo much more "me" now with this new addition. Thank you D.

Today's plan is to just chill and rest for a bit. Then eat a peanut buster parfait from DQ for lunch. After that head to La Jolla Shores to hopefully snorkel with sharks. Then a nice dinner out at Shogun Kobe.(a benihanas style place)

Even though I despise my chronological age I am thankful I am fit, healthy and able to have all this fun today.

To all the others born today, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
