it's. my. BIRTHDAY!!!

here it is, not even 7am, and i am blogging. i haven't showered, but i have updated. : ) why? BECAUSE IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!! the best day of the year, new year's day, the day of new beginnings. i would be posting a picture of me all 24 and whatnot, but the digital camera that my mommy got me has had some shipping delays, despite her best efforts. colleen is not pleased at all, however, i am JAZZED UP that she even loves me enough to get something so nice for me. i can wait a few days. : ) thank you thank you and a million besos, mom!
i'm sure you realize that it is not my birthday alone. of course it is megan's birthday too. and people always say, "someday you'll get sick of birthdays and sick of getting older and they won't be as big of a deal." yeah, well, i call BULLSH*T because as long as meg and i have each other, birthdays will never lose their flavor. i only wish she was here to celebrate! so, the happiest of birthdays, my darling meg mcmuffin. you are the tune i hum, the song i sing, and the freestyle i spit. i love you the most. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
one more thing and then i really need to shower... the most important thing i've learned since last year is to take care of yourself first. i'm too good at loving on and cheering on other people through ups and downs and not good enough at turning that positivity inward. but i'm trying... and so help me god, by the time i turn 25, i'll be an old pro. : )
happy birthday to meeeeeeeee!!!
