Hot off the Press! I had a birthday yesterday. My GOLDEN birthday to be exact. I'm 29. WOW. I think this is definitely the age where you don't get any free passes for not having your act together. Thank god I feel like I got my life together this year! ha ha. Last year at this time I felt pretty lost. I had no real direction and just sort of felt like life was just happening to me. What a difference a year makes. I don't think I can say I totally have it all figured out, but I feel like I have a handle on the important things now and that's a good feeling to have. Creating your life... who knew it could be so empowering?
Last weekend a bunch of friends and myself went for a birthday celebration. We had Lebanese food and went and did karaoke. It was fun. I love karaoke. I sang "we're off to see the wizard." It was the chocolate cake shot that decided that, not me. I even marched in place when I sang. I think that added a little something special, don't you think?
This weekend Scott took me out to dinner @ North -LOVE THAT PLACE. Then we walked over to this place called "cocktails and canvases." It's a place where you create a painting and drink, basically. Although I was a bit too concentrated on my painting to drink. I had a small glass of wine... didn't want to disrupt the creative juices. I really love my painting, I think I'm even going to get it framed! We had a great time & it was very romantic.
My mom sent me a package with a cookbook called "Kissing in the Kitchen - Cooking with passion" I joked with Scott that this is her subtle way of saying PROCREATE DAMNIT, I WANT A GRANDCHILD! Hey, you can't blame her. Scott and I are sort of defective in that baby department. It freaks us out a bit more than most couples. I mean, I'm 29 and he's 38 and we have no children to speak of. I'd be scared too if I was my mom:) We decided that we're not having children until we both feel like we can have them and not die. And if that time comes, and I'm 40 and he's 50, then we'll adopt. OK, the die part was a little dramatic, but a woman who's almost 30 can be dramatic when talking about babies.
I'll post a picture of my 29 year old self holding my painting later today. Hold your breath!
Peace, Love & Chocolate Birthday Cake-

i can't wait to see your painting!!
Chocolate bday cake.. YUM!
Painting and vino sounds muy, muy romantico. Good for you two!
Good for you for creating your life. That's empowering.
Happy Birthday! I am excited to see your painting too! I love your Mom's efforts in "setting the mood"! I completely agree that you BOTH have to be 100% ready to have a baby! I also think you guys would make amazing parents! After reading your beautiful stories in the relationship deal sealers and knowing how in love you two are, I think you can succeed at anything! It's the hardest thing you'll ever do but as long as theres love, laughter, open communication, and respect, you'll be great! You guys seem like you like a challenge!
Happy Birthday! Sounds like lots of fun celebrations! Love the painting! And way to go on having your life in order.
PS Keep us posted on how the cookbook is :)
It is about dang time woman. Where have you been? Happy Freakin' birthday. Sagitarious huh? Me too. My birfday was the 25th. I love the combination of drinking and painting. Which is odd, I know coming from me. But I think the canvas can get a little more freaky with a little more free spirits. Nicely done and happy birthday again my friend.
