another birthday passes

So it was my 24th birthday yesterday.  For those of you who are just tuning in I just wanted to inform you that you may still feel free to send birthday wishes of good will and money to my home address.  But seriously...money is always welcome even when it's not my birthday!

Anyway, it was a good birthday (thanks for asking).  I had my family call and a bunch of my friends remembered (which made me realize once again that I am blessed to have friends that are better friends than I am).  I took the day before my birthday off from both my jobs and got to sit at home watching movies and eating cookie dough and drinking chocolate milkshakes.  It was a great way to celebrate my last day of being 23!!  I had an excuse to sit inside all day because it was rainy and cold here in Cincy.  I even made myself hot cocoa in the afternoon because I was so cold! 

For some reason this birthday I feel older.  It usually doesn't happen that way.  Usually I wake up on my birthday not feeling any older than the day before and finding it silly that I should feel any different being as only one day has passed.  But this year was different.  I feel 24, however that is supposed to feel.  It just seems like I have now warped into full adulthood.  I am no-longer an early-twenty something, I am a mid-twenty something.  I just thought that I would have a lot more figured out by this time in life....but I guess most everyone feels that way.  Except for those of us who are lucky to either not have any expectations of themselves or who are keeping pace with those expectations.  I know that is a sentence fragment, but I just don't care.  I'm 24 and I can write in sentence fragments as often as I feel!  Right?!
