I LOVE birthdays.

Today, I...

1) Woke up to a puppy licking me.
2) Talked to Madre.
3) Went for a run. It went poorly, but I chose not to be discouraged.
4) Danced around in the water while singing out loud to DC Talk.
5) Stole a piece of cake hours before it was served.
6) Looked at used bikes.
7) Went back and bought a used bike. It's yellow and delightful.
8) Talked to Lindsey for the first time in forever.
9) Declared 5pm "Happy Hour" and made cosmos for myself, Luke, and Nikki.
10) Baked a cake.
11)Realized that happy hour before dinner wasn't a good plan (and causes a great deal of subsequent giggling).
12) Went to dinner.
13) Ordered a fedora from Amazon (Dean sent me a gift card!)
14) Enjoyed life to the fullest.

Effective at 1:30-something this morning, I am 24. And if today is any indication, it's a pretty good place to be. :)
