It's the 12th Anniversary ... of my 21st birthday

Okay people, I’m officially starting the countdown.
10 days until my birthday. Yay! … I guess.

It’s funny, I love my birthday, but am not a fan of getting older (like a lot of 30+ people I know). I just have to keep reminding myself that life is a gift and that aging is just the upgrade of that gift.

Don’t even get me started on what I’d like as a gift. I haven’t the vaguest notion. I never do. That’s the kind of thing kids are good at. With me, I can only ever come up with reasons to not ask for things. I would ask that person for this, but it’s too expensive, or I would ask this person for that but they would pick the wrong kind.

Anyway, it’s only 10 days left and I’m excited. I’ll be flying off to Houston next weekend to celebrate with two of my favorite people, but I’ll be back in NOLA in time to celebrate my actual birthday. I know that it’s going to be great. But, even if it's not, I'll already have a great gift ... life.
