30.

Sometimes I want to write a blog, but I don't really know what to write about. I am not really under the impression that anyone reads my blogs, but I for some reason worry about it when I haven't written in a while. Its strange, I know. I suppose I don't want to disappoint the attentive two person audience... such a people pleaser. ugh. I'm not sure why I start out by saying that, because I actually have something to write about today.

Yesterday while I was at work I was talking to a coworker, Mr.Mac. Mac works part time at NHC and is a teacher and coach the rest of the time. We started talking about high school and he pointed out to me that its basically 3 years until my ten year reunion. He told me to fix anything I needed to fix now before I had to see those people again. hahaha

Now I don't care at all about impressing people from high school, and I probably won't even go to that reunion anyway. So, why am I writing all this then? Well, that conversation with Mr. Mac got me thinking about things that I want to do... so here's my list of thirty things I want to do before I am thirty....

1. Get my picture taken on the zebra walk at Abbey Road.
2. finish my masters degree
3. write a book of some sort

I forgot to mention that I turned 25 this week! It was the most lovely birthday I've ever had.

A few nights before my birthday I went out to sushi with April and Rachel. ENSO = best sushi ever. period. life changing!




I got some new rainbows from the 'rents... which as you know are the BEST flip flops in the universe... and when it was the right weather this week for rainbows + my North Face jacket it was seriously bliss.

Leesa sent me an adorable scarf from Raleigh and Robin got me some John Derian coffee mugs for the gallons of coffee I consume each week... they are wonderful sisters.

April got me an AWEOME wine glass etched with SC palmetto tree and crescent moon. ADORABLE.

Ms. P (my favorite coworker) took me to lunch at the Zebra at Southpark. GO THERE. It was INCREDIBLE. I had the most adorable birthday cake EVER. She also got me a HUGE framed John Lennon print. No need to express how I feel about anything with JL.



I had family dinner at a habachi grill. The chef made me help him cook. He was hilarious. Even made my rice into a heart. haha. My niece and nephew Hudson and Ellie sang me happy birthday. Pop got me roses.



Ended the say with a glass of wine, birthday cake, my girlfriends, and Britney Spears on Glee.

All in all a perfect day!
