007 / already behind; time for 23

I meant to try to post every day on this thing, starting with my birthday (which was Wednesday).  I just want to resolve to post something - a quote, a picture, an actual update on my life... it doesn't really matter.  Just something.

So!  Wednesday was my 23rd birthday :) I was lucky enough to spend most of it with my love, who loves birthdays and agrees that I get to be queen of the world on my special day. :) 

He's very funny and very much enjoys celebrating things like birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, etc.  I am not so big on my own birthday, because I usually feel as though I have little to no control over what happens.  For example, I spent my 21st birthday in a van coming home from the beach with my family.  I had no celebration, I don't even think we had a special dinner.  Throughout high school, I kept having band or orchestra concerts the evening of my birthday.  My track record for being able to celebrate my birthday on the actual day has not been good, really.

But this year, I did celebrate, at least a little.  I didn't end up having to go to work, so after K finished up at work, he came to pick me up and we went to have Mongolian barbecue at Genghis Grill in Kingstowne, followed by a scoop of my favorite ice cream!  The evening was topped off by watching Fast Five (which was awesome). 

I guess that's all I have for now.  I need to get some sleep! 

002 / felicity & fortune

I am going to have to say I'm a lucky girl.  I am surrounded by all these people who love me, I have great opportunities in my life, & more coming my way.  Sometimes it amazes me just how much I have been blessed!

I was glad to get a chance to go to Minnesota to see my friends this past weekend.  I love them together (and individually, of course!) so it was good to have them (almost) to myself, instead of having to share them like when they come here to visit. ;) It is so good to see them together, because it reminds me that you don't have to lead a fairytale life to get a fairytale ending.  It gives me hope that I will one day have one too.

I am also especially glad for Bubu, because he gives me such good advice and talks me through things from a guy perspective.  I am glad that we are able to be friends :) and I know he is, too.

Today, my big sis from LSU is coming to visit until Saturday!  I am already a little worn out on people, but I'll find some way to make it work.  I am not sure what to do with her while she's here, but we'll probably spend a day in DC - maybe tomorrow?  We're also going to go ice skating at some point... I am not creative!  I need help with planning sometimes. 

Well, I think I should try to nap a little before I have to get up and clean.  Hopefully KTP's plane will be able to land on-time tonight.
