This weekend...

Well, this weekend is my birthday. I will be 23. It's such an uneventful number. Just like last year. And next year as well. There's such a boring period of birthdays between 21 and 25 that don't really mean much except that you've survived another year. I mean, what's so great about turning 22, 23, or 24?? Nothing special happens. It's not like 18 where I get to vote, or 21 where I get to drink. They aren't milestone years like 30, 40, or 50. But, I'm still here and there'll be cake, pizza, bowling, Mario Kart, and cool people, so I'm glad I get to have a birthday this year anyway. :)

My birthday always reminds me of how much I hate the summer. The summer is hot. I hate hot. Again, I have NO IDEA why I thought it would be a great idea to move to North Carolina. I love it here... except that it's too hot and the seasons don't change dramatically. I miss the changing leaves and the snow. Anyway, one more reason that I hate the summer is that everyone is gone when I celebrate my birthday. I love throwing parties. Especially surprise birthday parties. I'm actually pretty good at it. And it's a lot of fun. I have only once ever had a party for my birthday. And it was thrown together at the last second by the people that I happened to be hanging out with at the time. Why? No one is ever here!! People are on vacation or are home away from where I'm living. So, not only is it hot, but my friends aren't around to celebrate with me. Stupid summer, you disgust me. :(

But, on the up side, I do get to spend time with a few people who care about me. And I'm always up for bowling. :) And, I've always got 4 beautiful pups who love me no matter what. That's the most awesome gift ever.

Joe is really excited about the b-day present that he got me. He says that I'll love it and it's perfect. There is a whole lot of pressure from this gift. He and my mom always talk about how much I'm going to love it. What if I don't??? I can't lie, but I don't want to break their hearts! I really want to like this gift. But, they keep talking about it and making it sound so spectacular that I don't know how it could ever live up to the hype at this point. I hope I really, really, really like this gift. For their sakes. :)
