My first week as a thirty year old...

I typed this out a long time ago, did not get a chance to post it. So it is a little outdated :-)
I turned thirty two days ago. Do I feel any different ? Any older and wiser feeling ? I don' think so. Definitely not the older part ;-). I had a very quiet birthday celebration, Sumeet was here for the weekend. I wanted to drive to Key Largo over the weekend but it was raining heavily.  So we ended up staying in, which actually turned out to be great. But I did get a new bed, a gift from me to me. From my dear husband, I got a Mac. He is trying to convert me over to the Apple cult. First the phone and now the computer. Initially I was not that thrilled, I really wanted a lens for my camera. I did realize that my current system was getting old and slow. Even some of my friends will attest to that. I am already a believer in two days.
On my big special day, I worked. But my Boss took us all out to lunch and Sumeet got to meet everyone as well. On the way back to work, one of my colleagues commented "You are married to a very nice man, what did you do to trick him ?". I wonder what he really thinks of me. We concluded my birthday with a very nice dinner at a place on the beach. Good food, great wine :-).  I am on my way to San Francisco now, to attend a workshop. It is titled "How to create products that customers love". Should be interesting. I get to meet my roommate from grad school days, a friend whom I have known forever and  a friend from high school whom I haven't seen for almost twelve years. I am looking forward to all of that.
