Birthday Wrap Up

I had a good birthday. I won't say great because, to be honest, I was not looking forward to this one.

But Friday night, my friend Jenny threw me a birthday party, and took 10 of us out for pizza and beer, then we headed to a local bar...Who can dislike pizza and beer!!?

Saturday was a Bridal Shower on a party barge on Lake Lewisville...Sun, lakes, more beer?? Always fun.

Saturday night was Octoberfest...uh...Sausages and more beer...(Oh and I may have met a Longhorn Architect who may or may not be taking me to lunch today...and who may or may not seem to be a Planner...we all know how I feel about planners...(I HEART schedules)...)

Sunday was my actual birthday...I went to lunch with a friend...no beer I am sorry to say, but plenty of yummy Chinese food at a restaurant I had somehow never been to, but that has been there for as long as I have lived in Dallas...

Sunday night, dinner and presents with the 'rents...Which included a PAMA Martini--which is a Pomegranate Martini for you laypeople--and an after dinner drink of Tia Maria and Bailey's...I now HEART Tia Maria and Bailey's...

Then I crashed.

This Will Be Me on Sunday

...Except one year younger...

That unbridled joy, the eagerness to plunge into another year of existence dribbles out through your pores, replaced by a constant dread cementing in your stomach. Age is now “significant,” birthdays have “meaning,” years have “gravity,” all of it like a crow pecking on the inside of your skull. So you’re turning 28? Only two more years to 30! And you know what they say about women at 30. Oh, and you’d better have your career all worked out - wait, you don’t? You’ve almost finished your twenties! What’ve you been doing all this time? All these other people have done great things by 28 - but I guess you’re still “working it out.”

Yup, that pretty much sums it up...perfectly...Thank you Miss Opinionista for writing my blog post today...you took the words right out of my mouth.
