ON THIS DAY (well yesterday, May 8)

BBC ON THIS DAY | 8

I was too busy yesterday to post. It was my birthday! Exciting events of yesterday, my 34th, at 3:45am I woke up in the midst of a 3.4 earthquake centered in my hometown. 34 3:45, 3.4... Oooh spooky.

We were to head to my sisters house for an outdoor BBQ party to celebrate both my & Katie's birthdays and Mother's Day. However due to the rain we relocated to our house since we have more indoor space. I spent the morning on a quick clean-up and the house was ready for the family & friends invasion.

Jane worked her magic with tri-tips on the q. Katie & I exchanged pink teddybears. The family chipped in this awesome REI Adventure: http://www.rei.com/adventures/trips/namer/ca_monokayak_wend.jsp Yahoo!

I'm at work for one day this week. I am off to North Carolina for a conference on "The State Of Health Care". whee. I think I'll have lots of time on this trip to study for my physiology final in 2 weeks.
