Ik ben jarig!

This one’s going up out of order because it’s obviously time-sensitive, so you don’t yet know where the rest of my hair went. All in good time.

Having a summer birthday means that I almost always celebrate away from home, and this year is no different. I think this is the third or fourth birthday I’ve spent in Europe, at least. I’m lucky, I know.

The text of the birthday song is “Lang zal ze leven, in de gloria,” which means “Long may she live, in the glory.” I rather like that—it’s like I’m the queen or something.

    Happy Birthday, Natalie! How did you celebrate your big day?

    Driving across the country! Yesterday was a travel day. It’s a small country, though, so the trip only took three hours. After we got to the hotel we went out for a semi-fancy meal and a walk around town. Pleasant.
