Well I am beginning to think that the older you get, the more anti-climatic your birthday is! I remember as a little girl thinking about my birthday for months, or at least once Christmas was over since it was the next 'holiday' in my mind, and how magical and special the day was. You took your cupcakes to school and sometimes even got to wear a crown all day at school. Now ever girl loves to wear a crown whether they admit it or not! I loved being the center of attention for at least one day! Now, you get up, go to work, go to the doctor, go to class, take a test, and then head head just in time for bed. Or at least that is what my day will look like today! Now I do have to give credit to my good friend Kacy, because she got to work before I did today and put up some Happy Birthday paraphernalia around my office, and even had a warm Hardee's breakfast sandwhich waiting for me on my desk! Now there is a girl that knows me best! I mean, food pretty much makes up for the fact that I cannot wear a crown anymore! Last week as I was thinking about my approaching birthday, I was really stunned to think about how much older 24 seems than 23. At 23 you are 'usually' just a year or so out of college and it is ok if you are not sure what you want to do, you don't have as many responsibilities, etc. Now at 24, it seems like the world now will accept you as an adult. I am not sure what I will think about 25, but shoot that is a whole 364 days away! So for now I will concentrate on being 24, and will practice being 'grown up'! Now I guess that means I should pay my phone bill that came in the mail last night. Nothing like getitng a bill in the mail instead of a festive birthday card! I guess this is a 'Welcome to the Real Worl Ashley' sign. As a disclaimer, the picture that I added is not a cake that I received, but I thought it was funny and appropriate! Well better get going. Hope everyone has a fabulous day! So long for now...
