It’s My Birthday!!!
Wednesday is my birthday. The beginning of the last year in my 20’s. That sounds SO old. I remember when I was much much younger that I thought people who were older than 25 were ancient. OLD.
My birthday wish on this blog is to have everyone who reads my blog (yes that includes you lurkers, please! It’s my birthday!) to say something, anything, about themselves or about me, or both. And if you feel like it, where in the world are you, plus any additional stuff you want to add. And please don’t feel like you’ll be hijacking my blog at all.
This past year has been one hell of a roller coaster. Last year I got pregnant shortly after my birthday, and lost it after 8 weeks of total bliss. Last year we brought our son, the first grandchild (and first great-grandchild) on hubby’s side, to see his great grandmother who lives on the other side of the globe. She was delighted out of her 91-year-old mind. Last year I snorkeled for the first time in my life. Last year I got pregnant for the third time. Last year I got laid off from my first real professional job. Last year my grandpa died. Last year we went to Mexico for the first time. Last year we left our son for 5 days. Twice. Last year I started to blog more regularly. Last year I lost some friends. Last year I gained more friends than I lost. Last year taught me a lot of things. I have mixed bag emotions about the whole of last year, but I don’t think I would change any of it (well, except The Obvious Thing, you know).
Haven’t the slightest clue what we’ll do for my birthday. I imagine it will be quiet and laid back, just like past ones. I hope this coming year will be one hell of a year filled with many many happy events only.
And I will forever be this age whenever someone asks how old I am from here on out.
