Wordless Wednesday :: 60

The number of candles that should have graced Dad’s Birthday cake this year.  Instead, we opted for two so we wouldn’t catch the house on fire.

Birthday Recap…

To recap on my 25th this year…

Overall it was a good Birthday.  I got lots of phone calls & messages.  Lots of encouragement about how 25 isn’t a big deal and could actually be a “fun” year.  Oh Joy!  Very thankful my parents didn’t put candles on the cake I got yesterday (cranberry orange coffee cake).  No writing.  No frosting.  No candles.  Yea!  No one had to alert the fire department – a great thing!

I didn’t do much today.  Roomie decided to go to Seminole to see her boyfriend & left me here.  I’m hoping I can convince her to take me out for a Mexican lunch tomorrow with a margarita.  Oh yes, I do hope.  This year was so much better than last year – 10 fold better.

Although I don’t feel any different now – I’m sure I will later on down the road as my jogging obsession grows.

I got this…

Nike+ System that I have used constantly since I got it
Nike Vomero 4′s in PINK because there isn’t any other color, other than Crimson in my world
Hot Red Nike Turmoil’s
Nike+ SportBand ….. in Hot Pink!
…..and in the process of obtaining one of these….
a Sony Vaio CW Edition

Happy Un-Birthday to Me!

Transitioning from 24 to 25 doesn’t sound like a huge deal – but it is on paper!  Holy Cow!  It’s hard to believe a year has gone by – it seemed like it happened in the blink of an eye….literally.  I accomplished so much this year and went places I never thought I’d go (Destin, FL & NYC, NY).  I made some great friends and got another semester under my belt….only a million more to go!  I’m excited to see what takes place this year and I’m looking forward to the new things that are about to come my way.

Mom & Dad came over the night before my birthday and we had Pei Wei – one of Dad’s favorites.  They took Emmie home with them and from what I hear, Joe the Chihuahua, is doing really well with her and they just might hit it off!

Can I pleeeeease be done counting after this?  I know I said that last year, but really, pleeeeease can we be done?

I'm Done Counting

I turned a whopping 24 today.  I won’t be doing anything exciting.  No birthday cake, candles or parties OR dates.  I’m staying in and will probably be doing some much needed cleaning and laundry.

Oh & for the record, my birthday will not be celebrated next year.  I’m done counting. 24 is as old as I’m ever going to get.

Happy 21st Birthday Roomie!

You’re 21 now Roomie.  Can’t believe it, but you are.  Have fun tonight, try new drinks, make new friends, but most importantly, HAVE FUN!  Can’t wait to see you in the morning!
