Yesterday I hit the big 2-8. Yep, that's right I'm now 28 and it is so depressing. I'm going to be one of those people that cry all day once I hit 30 I can already tell.
I find it depressing because at 27 at least I was still closer to 25 then I was to 30 and now I can no longer say that.
I'm not so much a fan of birthdays. Yesterday Steve and about 10 of my friends all took me to the Macaroni Grill for dinner. This is one of my favorite places to eat.....every day except for on my birthday that is. Birthdays suck there....I'm not a fan of being in restaurants on my birthday because I hate the fact that somebody spills the beans that it's the big day and a bunch of the wait staff comes over to sing to you.
At the Macaroni Grill it's even worse though, because it's not a bunch of the wait staff that comes to sing to you, it's in fact just ONE person that comes to sing opera to you and that person stares at you the whole time. It is SO ackward. I don't like some stranger that I have never met staring at me while they serenade me. It is probably one of my least favorite things.
A few years ago some other friends took me to the Macaroni Grill on my birthday as well and that time it was a young man that serenaded me and he got up really close to me while he was singing and I still remember it like it was yesterday because that is one of the most uncomfortable moments I can remember in my life.
Last night at least it wasn't so bad. It was some girl and she stood a good 5 feet away from me while she sang to me (all the while staring at me of course). That has got to be rough for the person working as well as I wouldn't enjoy obviously being uncomfortable while I make someone else uncomfortable on their birthday.
Anyway....besides the singing part it was a good day. Yes....I'm gettting older and I STILL don't know what I want to do with the rest of my life. But I guess that's okay for now.

happy late birthday jen! - B
I'm closer to 30 than you are! I will turn 29 this year. But to make me feel like a "kid again" and to hold onto my "childhood innocence" I am throwing a Disney Princess party and inviting all my girlfriends to wear crown and get our nails done. I guess we have to be happy that we can say we've seen 30-years of precious life.
BTW, Love your header and layout. You rock.
happy birthday juana! :) btw tonya hates being sung to on her birthday too... but not just at restauarants, anywhere. she just hates how awkward it is with everyone singing and staring at you... you gotta wonder where the tradition came from to begin with eh?! :)
