Just Call Me Grandma


So, yesterday was my 22nd birthday! Yes, I said 22. I cannot believe I'm getting so old! I feel like my 16th birthday was just yesterday! But I suppose I need to accept growing up and getting older because it's coming for me whether I like it or not! To celebrate said birthday, I started the day by going to get a pedicure with my roommate, Alex. It was SO glorious! The leg massage was fabulous and they used hot stones to rub on your legs which was really just superb. Last night I went out with some EFY friends to this fabulous Brazilian grill called Tucanos. We celebrated Alison's birthday (which was the 21st) and Stacey's birthday (today, the 23rd). Gotta love New Year's babies! I think I ate enough food to last me an entire week. So. Good. And the best part was, my meal was free simply for being the birthday girl! Doesn't get much better than that right?

After dinner, we went to Heather's adorable pink house where she had super cute decorations and the coolest cake I've ever had in my whole life waiting for us! She was "such a good friend." Alison brought a disturbing-looking unicorn pinata for us to whack at. After a rather large ordeal trying to figure out how to maneuver the pinata, we decided to just throw it like a baseball and hit it with the bat that way. And. It worked. Problem-solving.

Mostly it was just fun to spend the day with friends and have a relaxing day. Birthdays are much less exciting than I remember them being but it's always nice to hear from some old friends and to spend the day with those you love. I couldn't ask for much more (maybe just to be able to be with my family but... we can't have everything right?).

And the song to go along with this blog post is really actually kind of depressing, but I think in some ways it reflects my life. Number one, he talks about how his birthday is tomorrow and he was born 22 years ago (get it? I'm 22). It also reflects how I feel about my life right now. So up in the air. "I'm a plane in the sunset with nowhere to land." But I'll find someplace soon!
