Birthday Week

My 25th birthday is on Friday. I just typed Saturday, then had to fix it. That makes me officially old, I think, when I'm not counting down the days till my birthday anymore. Actually I haven't done that since my 16th, you know, the big deal, and even my MOM forgot it was my birthday. On facebook a few days ago, I said that all I want for my birthday is a weekend with nothing to do. Actually, I want a few other things too:

I want gumption to finish all the projects I start.

I want to feel like I have a reason to sew the bridesmaids dress that I have to wear in less than a month.

I want daylight until 6:00 so that my afterschool kids and I can do things outside.

I want a few days of B, all to myself. (I'll get this in a few months!)

I want an unlimited supply of money to pay off debt, buy a new(er) car, pay for my and B's wedding, move, etc. Just for a few months. Not for forever.

I want a newer, bigger car. My car is so old and unreliable that I'm not sure it will make the move to Idaho this fall, even once the current break-down is repaired. And it's so small I've never felt safe on the winter streets with all those crazy drivers.

I want job security.

I want to go to the dentist.

I want some extra creativity.

I want to start zumba. Or running. Or something. Zumba just sounds like fun.

I want everything with B, when he gets home, to be just the same, only better, as it was two years ago.

I want a girls weekend with each of my favorite sets of old college roommates, and my best friends from high school.

I want the organization people assume I have when they hear that I'm a librarian.

Alternatively, I want the level of organization I fake at work to be applied at home as well.

I want to spend some time alone, just a couple days where I don't have to talk to ANYONE and can do whatever I want. Some where not here.

I could go on. I want more. But I won't. I have what I need.

We're moving to the Rexburg area. The cold cold Rexburg area. No good for this California girl.

You are not by any means old. You are just beginning in life. Enjoy your youth and remember your mind will always feel young, I should know, I'm 50. :)

On my 25th birthday, I gave birth to my daughter Emma. I was twenty five then. My daughter is now twelve years old.
