its 11:26 on my birthday eve. i MUST be IN bed before midnight. i get weirded out if i witness it turning my birthday. i'm crazy and neurotic, adhering to that rule minimises my anxiety.
i've had a lovely day. i got up early and had melissa over for breakfast. heeheehee. it was nice. and simple too! i like her company. she's so sweet and... wholesome? she's a good influence on me. anyway, after that she went christmas shopping with me. we got a lot done and had a pleasant relaxing time too.
after we parted ways i went to the goat to have a pot of tea and a brownie while reading. to my disappointment, my brownie was kind of dry :( i'm reading "the lives of girls and women". oh! i finished my other book! first book i've finished since august. this is a thin book and i hope to complete it as well. i love the title. talk about something i can relate to. mine is a life of a woman and a girl.
when i got home, it was still quite early and i was feeling rather motivated so i addressed some packages to be sent overseas, took them to the post-office, then did some more xmas shopping. i feel good about this because i've been meaning to send those packages for 2 months now. but the best news of all??? i got my christmas shopping DONE!!! and then!!! get this... i WRAPPED EVERYTHING TOO!!! wow-wee. incredible. i have NEVER been so on the ball.
this evening i did a little babysitting at the olding's house. joelle & caleb are at such a great age where they're both kids (not babies) and yet are still pre-school. adorable. i won't talk in detail because i realize most people don't find other peoples kids as enchanting as their own. however, i will tell you that when i got to their house tonight joelle blurts out "lesley we maked you a cake!" joy just rolled her eyes because that was supposed to be a surprise. hahaha.
this is my last night being 26. thinking about it too much makes it hard to breathe. i don't really expect anyone to understand this, but i would like you to know its not a fear of aging as much as a fear of change. tomorrow i'll wake up and be well adjusted. at least that's what usually happens and i'm hoping for a repeat again this year. i'm sure i'll love being 27.
oh crap. it's 11:49. i've gotta go.
we can drive around with the top down.

27 really packed a punch for me... it meant four different living arrangements, three different jobs, two relationships, and one massive emotional breakdown. and a lot of growth. and a partridge in a pear tree.
do not be afraid though... you can take whatever comes :) I'd say this will be your best year yet.
happy birthday, les... wish i could give you birthday hugs in person, hope you don't mind settling for this instead: [u] have an incredible day and a wonderful year!
Happy Birthday Les! Hopefully you'll discover yourself in new ways this year. That's always my birthday wish.
I read The Lives of Girls and Women about 10 years ago... it's interesting.
Happy Birthday! 27's a good year! :)
thanks everyone!! i hope you enjoy my 27th year too!!
