So, I know it’s been about a million years since I updated this… Welcome to the story of my life in terms of my relationship to blogging. I update regularly for awhile and then it all falls apart. But what can you do?
Anyway, lots of big changes in the past month, for reals.
For starters- I have a new job. It’s with an awesome up and coming advertising agency. I’m learning tons and getting to do all kinds of cool things. I miss my old work peeps, but it was time for a change. No more evil dragon lady boss. Hurray!
Next up: I am now a car owner! Now, don’t get too excited…. New to me is Estelle. She’s a little 4 door Suzuki number. She’s got some character marks (read dents and scratches) but she’s mine. Sweet freedom! It hasn’t even really sunk in yet all the potential adventures that I can now embark upon… the beach, Frenchy’s runs, ROAD TRIPS!
She needs a radio, but in the meantime I am building a pretty sweet cassette tape collection in anticipation.
In other news, I had a birthday. It wasn’t really one of those milestone years, but this was certainly the first year I wasn’t really into celebrating my birthday. I just didn’t really want it to happen for some reason. Does that mean I am officially old now? Who knows…
It was interesting though (and no to go all passive aggressive notes on y’all…) to see who wished me a happy birthday and who didn’t thanks to that oh so amazing social networking site, Facebook.
You know what it’s like. The clock strikes midnight on your birthday and suddenly you have 24 notifications of people writing on your wall wishing you happy birthday who you would normally never speak to in the run of an average day. Don’t get me wrong, who doesn’t want some birthday love and attention? It’s kind of sad that we don’t call or even text each other any more on birthdays and stuff( For the record, I’m definitely guilty of it. I hate picking up the phone!)
Why is wishing people a happy birthday so meaningful? We all have birthdays, and they happen once a year. Shouldn’t it be assumed that, if you were wished well last year, that the same feeling would be true for this year? Yet somehow, I guess it’s still nice to hear it. Or, read it in this case?
Either way, the birthday celebrations were low key this year – a nice dinner out with the man friend, followed by a night in a hotel and then a trip home to see the folks the following day.
Finally, can I get a heck yes for spring?! Light at 7:30pm? Temperatures above zero? That subtle change in the way the air smells? Hey winter, get bent!
