I told you in my last post (admittedly months ago) that I wasn't going to post on my blog just for the sake of getting a post up that day. I wanted my posts to have some kind of meaning. I'm not sure, exactly, why tonight is the meaningful night, but I got the urge, so here I am!

When I'm working at home, I tend to dive in deep. Sometimes I get so involved in my projects that I lose track of time and work right through lunch. When that happens, I want a quick, tasty lunch that doesn't take forever to prepare.
Recently, I was given the opportunity to try Freschetta's new By The Slice pizza. When it comes to pizza, I'm picky.

Today is my 32nd birthday AND this is my 400th blog post! That's right! We're celebrating 2-in-1!
As for turning 32, I'm not sure how I feel about it. I am rational enough to know that 32 isn't old. Just older, right? :) It feels big, but I know it's really not. I have some fabulous friends who are 32 right now and they're just fine...great even.

I may be partial to this ring's name, (Leave me a comment here if you know why and I'll give you an extra entry into today's Pear Tree Greetings Giveaway!) but I fell for this ring as soon as I saw it.
