Barb's Burblings

And this year won't involve Colin Firth

On the Today Show yesterday, they mentioned that it was the anniversary of last year's presidential election. (Which, yeah, kind of depressing.) Anyway, that made me realize that a year ago, I was gearing up to head to England; I went a year ago today. My birthday will be a bit different this year--less hanging around Leicester Square, more spending time with friends. The trip last year rocked, but there's something a bit sad about going through the day without anyone acknowledging it.

I had been debating about whether to take a vacation day tomorrow. I have the time built up, but was a bit iffy on it. It's not like I'm swamped at work, but...Then my boss sent out an email saying, "Tomorrow is Barb's birthday, but she'll be out, so we'll take her to lunch at some other point." Heh. I like it when other people make my decisions for me.

Current song in my head:
"Round and Round" from The Fantasticks
