I celebrated my birthday last week. I will be honest and say that I wasn’t really feeling it this year. I think it had to do with the fact that my friends up here weren’t going to be around, and there really isn’t much to do in way of celebration without driving over an hour down the mountain. So, I was just ho-hum about it all. However, I pushed myself to get off the couch and go into Joshua Tree National Park which is just a 5 minute drive from the house. We didn’t do any real hiking since it was already in the 90’s, but we got out and walked around one of my favorite locations and took a drive through the park to check out the scenery.
Speaking of the park, I went in on Friday to see about volunteering, and not only did they sign me up, but my first day “on the job” will be tomorrow. I used to work there a handful of years ago when we lived in the area, and I’m excited to get behind the desk and help people plan out their visit.

Happy Birthday! I hope you have fun volunteering.
Oh that sounds like it would be fun to work kat the park like that, and help visitors to enjoy it as much as they can. How cool. And happy birthday as well!
Hope you have a great week!
I have heard a lot about Intercepted, I have heard good things about Lex Martin.
I had my birthday a few months ago, but it wasn’t anything special since I just moved back to my home state and all my friends are gone. So it was celebrated by one. 🙂 Hope it was a good day for you and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
That is so cool you get to volunteer there. The older we get the less exciting birthday’s become.
Oh, I like Laura Kaye as an author. Do you recommend Fighting for everything?
It was a good read but I didn’t enjoy it as much as her other work. :\
Happy late birthday! I’m usually a bit ho hum on mine so I understand that. That’s awesome on the volunteering gig, though! Hope you have a great time :)a
A Luke’s coffee cup – I love it!
Yay for volunteering!!

Yay for your new volunteering job!
I’ve actually read Fighting for Everything, I bought it in Rome when I met Laura Kaye this past June at RARE convention. However, I wasn’t as amazed as I thought I would be.
