Birthday Girl

My birthday is almost over. It's been a wonderful day - beautiful weather, a day spent with my boyfriend at the Hard Rock Cafe and Casino. We were wild kids! We gambled on a two of the countless machines in the building and won $11.75. Yep, $11.75. We're outrageous, I tell ya! Now, I begin a new journey into a new decade. It's difficult to believe that I'm getting older, that I'm beyond young, that I'm almost at the end of a difficult physical (and mental) life-threatening challenge, that I'm still floundering with the what-will-I-be-when-I-grow-up conundrum, that when I look back so many things seem so long ago and that's kinda scary.

I only have 30 minutes left and then my birthday is over for another year. I like it that Prince William and Kate Middleton decided to get married on my birthday. It's a good day for a monumental birthday and a globally-celebrated wedding. Yep, it's a good day.
