It's late and I should probably go to bed but I have just been to a movie and had WAY more Mt. Dew than one person should consume in a week, let alone one evening so I'm a little wound for sound.
Did I tell you all that today is my birthday? (For the next 19 minutes anyway) and I have been thinking a lot today about these last 29 years. How did I get here and more importantly where the hell am I going?
A friend of mine wrote a list of 29 things about herself when she turned 29 last month and since I am in a place where I am deciding who I am and who I am not, I thought I would do something a little different... but a list just the same. So here goes.....
I have never:
1) Been arrested
2) Had a one night stand
3) Been Drunk
4) Smoked anything (Cigarettes or otherwise)
5) Taken any drug that was not prescription
6) Stolen anything (although there was one incident where I picked up a grape that had fallen on the floor and my mother THOUGHT I stole it but I swear... totally just picking it up to throw away. Who would steal a grape anyway??)
7) Been to Europe
8) Been to a Rock Concert
9) Been Para sailing (Or really anything that requires my feet to be off of the ground in such a manner that I could... oh I don't know... PLUMMET TO MY DEATH!!)
10) Had a picture of me taken in less than a bathing suit
I Have:
11) Given birth
12) Been to South America
13) Loved someone so much it hurt
14) Cried so hard I threw up
15) Laughed until I peed my pants
16) Traveled to almost all of the continental 48 states
17) Graduated from College
18) Passed the CPA on the first try
19) Made friends here with people I have never met
20) Discovered more about life in the last four months than I had in the previous 344 (yes that's months... yes I used a calculator)
I am:
21) A woman
22) A mother
23) A daughter
24) A sister
25) A single parent
26) An optimist
27) An animal lover
28) A true blue country fan
29) A person who is finally learning who they are and loving every minute of it
Thank you all for being here on the 1st anniversary of my 29th birthday!! Here's to happy times ahead!!
