I have learned so much about you since I have become completely addicted to blogs (yours and your friends') You are a beautiful person inside and out, a woman for us women to admire.
Happy Birthday! My 30's are so far turing out to be my best decade so far so I hope yours do too!
Good list, I learned some new things about you! Happy Birthday, it's going to be a great one!
Happy Birthday, Vania! You know, I've been vegan since I was 21 and I will turn 30 this year (April), too! So much in common (and I can't speak Serbian, either, though that might have something to do with not being Serbian!)
happy 30th, vania!! hope it's a wonderful day for you! i absolutely loved your list. lots of interesting & random tidbits about yourself. there were more than a few where i said, "hee, me too!" in my head while i read it. by the way (off topic), i'm soooo sad i missed seeing you at ooak a few weeks ago. i did keep my eyes open for you. did you chat with my mom? (anyhow, maybe i'll see you there at the spring show!)
happy birthday! i agree with anna that the 30's are my best decade so far -- you'll love being 30!
i enjoyed your list a lot, thanks for posting it.
I've just found you through wandering coyote/knitting sites and am always chuffed to read other like minded, 30 something vegan T.O. gals' stuff. I'll keep tuning in!
