Happy Birthday To Me!

July 13, 2010 | Uncategorized

So today I turn a quarter of a century old just before 1:00 pm. I actually feel old this year. Not sure why. Maybe because 25 seems like a momentous birthday. Halfway through the 20’s. Halfway to 30 from the 20’s. Closer to 50. Yikes!
Ok  enough with being depressing. I woke up this morning to a decorated living room. Here is a taste:

Then Bobby and I went on a quick 3 mile run. I wasn’t really feeling it so we walked some. I think we are going to go to lunch and then see Toy Story 3!! Then tonight my small group Bible study is taking me to dinner. I can’t wait!

Also…still working on my patience and waiting…Hoping some of it will be resolved today. I hate feeling anxious, and I especially shouldn’t have to feel this way on my birthday!

Hope everyone has a great day, July 13th IS a great day after all!

QOTD: What is your favorite thing to do on your birthday? Any traditions?

    Happy birthday! I hope you have a great day! Sorry about the run.

    I honestly haven’t done anything special on my bday in a decade or so. I even hated having bday parties when I was a kid. I’m weird. I just enjoy eating copious amounts of cake 😉

    Hi there! What a great day to come across your blog for the first time! Happy Birthday! I adore the pink–and–are those palmetto trees in your banner? I’m originally from SC and that’s the state tree (along with the mosquito as the state bird) 🙂 Love your previous post about working out on vacation, too. I’ll definitely be reading more on your blog!

    Enjoy your b-day and Toy Story 3 (it’s so funny and sentimental)!

    Happy Birthday!! My 25th birthday was my “golden” birthday as I was born on Jan. 25…so 25 …25th…I had a huge party and it was great! Pig pickin’ and the works! I have to say that I wish I was 25 still some days!! (I think I’m kinda vain…so getting old is not my favorite thing!) 🙂 But I’m getting used to it…I’ll be 29 for the like 4th time next birthday! 🙂

    I hope you have a great birthday!

Turning 40 has me reflecting a lot — where I thought I’d be, where I actually am, and what “success” really means. Who is in charge of making those rules anyway? 👀

I don’t have it all figured out. But I’m learning that I’m not behind. I’m exactly where I’m meant to be.
And if you’re struggling with this too… you’re not alone. 💛

Recently, I had the opportunity to enjoy EPCOT’s Recently, I had the opportunity to enjoy EPCOT’s new adults only bar, Geo-82. ✨ 

It’s beautiful, sophisticated, and very nostalgic. The attention to detail is astounding! 

You can even purchase a fireworks package and sip and dine while watching the show with the music piped in and lights dimmed.

My fave? The brown butter old fashioned, complete with spaceship earth stamped ice cube. 🧊 🥃 

Reservations can be made 60 days in advance on the Walt Disney World app, and walk-ins are not accepted at this time. 

I will admit it’s pricey, so something I would save for a special occasion! Very cool experience though and would 10/10 go again!
