Not Your Average Jane

Happy Birthday to me happy birthday to me.... Well, okay maybe not today, but yesterday.... But I claim the whole month as mine gosh darnit... :0) If Mom can claim the entire month of February on the basis of having a birthday at the end of the month, why can't I do the same in the beginning of the month? Its not like I don't know someone with a birthday almost every other day from last Friday to January the 12th... So I can*throat clearing* help them celebrate, so to speak... :0) But anywho, I don't feel any older, I feel just the same as I have all the rest of the year.... Of course most birthdays I usually don't feel my age till the middle of the next year (July - ish), so we'll see... Man a quarter of a century old.... First time I heard that I was like, that's old.... Now I'm like thats just funny.... Its like time goes on and theres nothing you can do to stop it and when you reach certain points in like (i.e. mile markers in life - 16, 18, 21, 25, 30, 40, 50, etc.....) certain things are supposed to happen and have been done... I'm a bit behind in that I'm not out of college but by gummi beary I will be in May.... But I'll catch up quickly... Though I'm not planning to get married till a whole lot closer to 30 than I am now... Unless something completely unforseen, like Mr. Right, comes along, in that case I'll make an exception... Though whose to say he hasn't already and the timing hasn't been right? Ok, this is beginning to sound too much like the blog about soulmates a few weeks ago... So what did I do for my big 2 - 5, you may ask? It was rather dull actually... Slept late, ate lunch, showered, went shopping at the new Hastings in Russellville, picked up dinner at the Cracker Barrel, and came home to a little bit of a surprise party.... A few friends had come over and as soon as I walked in the door confetti was thrown at me, birhtday wishes shouted, and clothes taken off (ok so not the last but got your attention didn't I?).... We had birthday cake, the thing looked like a torch with all the candles on it, but I got it all in one breath.... Hehehe.... I guess the older I get the more hot air I'm filled with? hehehehe.... Watched tv, went to the coffee house, came back watched most of Pirates of the Carribbean b4 going to bed.... So it was almost your average Clarksvegas Saturday night.... Almost, but not quite... :0) Also I found out that there's a WA Press (a poetry thing) Tuesday night when I want to go to Fayetteville.... So Decisions must be made.... But I'll worry about that tommorrow (isn't that so Scarlett O'Hara of me?).... That's about it for now.... Laters....
