23!

As many of you may already know, I turned 23 last Friday. For some reason it's really hard for me to remember my age now. I feel like every number up until this one felt right, but now 23 feels too old for me. And yeah, yeah I know 23 isn't old, but honestly sometimes I feel like a 14 year old and wonder why I am trusted to drive a car and pay bills.

I spent most of the weekend drinking too many Redds Apple Ales, aka my new fave (and by new I mean not very new at all; just newer than straw-ber-itas), and it was really fun! I woke up at 5:30am for some reason that morning and felt very stressed out and nervous. At some point I was able to fall back asleep for my last hour before actually getting ready, and had a dream that my party got ruined by my family inviting hundreds of people I did not know. I don't recall being consciously worried about such things, but honestly who knows what is happening in my brain most of the time anyway?

Friday ended up being a wonderful day, despite my dreams predicting otherwise. There was no traffic, and then I got to leave work early to start celebrating (woo!). Everything I ended up buying at the mall (dress, candle, jewelry) was somehow all on sale, which is always nice. And then even when there was traffic heading back to the party, I got to drive in the carpool lane and avoid the most terrible bit of it. #blessed.

The night ended with an Olaf shaped balloon, too much pizza/drinks/ice cream cake, and of course with me weeping at my presents, which I've just realized I do a little too much. Everyone's gifts were very thoughtful, and I APPRECIATE IT, OKAY? 

I've already put a few things to good use; my desk has never looked better (even if I have only had it for a week). I am the MOST excited to watch my DVD of shitty horror movies, especially my personal fave (and my sibs') CHOPPING MALL. Does that not sound like the best-worst movie ever?

It is Monday night as I write this, and I am feeling partied out. Somehow I will have to gain the energy to celebrate Halloween this weekend, and I still have to make my costume! This part is basically my long excuse to end this post here. I hope everyone is having a wonderful week, and I hope you're all preparing to eat a lot of candy this weekend. TIME TO GET SPoOoOOoOOKY! 

Unfortunately there is no Taylor Swift song for my new exciting age, so,
