I'm 23 tomorrow? Really?

Tomorrow is my 23rd birthday. WOW where does time go?
One year out of college in the same weekend. Graduated the day after my birthday last year. nice gift, eh??
The end of this week has been a little birthday-centered for me. Yesterday we went out for my work birthday lunch. I picked Turkish, never having eaten it before. Babganush is delicious I found out, as is a dessert that starts with a k that I cannot pronounce...phila dough with some cheese in the middle and soaked in honey. MM! And the Turkish red wine was also very tasty.


I LOVE this little cup! The Turkish coffee was a LOT stronger than I expected....and a lot siltier at the bottom too. But I really wanted to steal the demi taz.

Being a birthday, my co-workers had to make me a card. Around here we pick a project that the person has worked on, and turn it into a card. I helped to lay-out the interior of this book, and therefore the jacket was turned into a card. Hmm book jackets are haunting me...should I return to publishing when this gig is up??


Sorry for the poor camera phone quality. I'm sure you can make out my face. It has been superimposed on an illustration of Ayn Rand. Pretty hilarious! All illustrations in this book are by Ed Sorel, best known as a political illustrator.



And here is the interior of the card, complete with bios on Ed Sorel and Christopher Walken. At an event held at The Waverly Inn in October, which was for the release of Ed's book on the mural he painted there, we spotted Mr.Walken in the crowd, and have been star-struck ever since.

And I have NO idea what else I will be doing for my birthday. Hopefully something comes up tonight, via my facebook status asking about it. I can never decide what to do! Nevermind that Mother's Day is Sunday, so many people will not be around. I will at least be baking a cake. and then prompting people to visit and eat it.
