Today is the day that represents a quarter of a century lived for me. Wow... that makes me sound so young... I've only completed my first quarter of a century! Sweet! I have a theory on the age 25, that I've probably already shared with many of you, but if I haven't... allow me to bore you. Actually, my theory is on the age 24, but since turning 25 is involved in it, I feel like today is still an ok day to share it. So here goes... at age 23 you top out of the "still young, hip, and cool" stage. At 23 you still have friends in college, you could technically still be in college, so it's cool that you hang out places where college people, or as Rich would say, "co eds", hang out. Basically, Blink 182 was completely wrong when they sang "Nobody likes you when you're 23..." Everyone likes you, you're still cool. It is my oppinion that Blink 182 should retract that song, and come out with a new one that replaces 23 with 24... everything else about the song could stay the same, as it was a pretty good hit. Before I go into 24, I'll talk about age 25. Adulthood! 25 is when a person gains some authority. Heck, they can rent a car! Seriously though, when an adult asks how old you are, you still feel like a child no matter what age, unless you can say, 'oh, I'm 25' (or above). It's like you're on their same level at 25. Which makes sense I guess since you're officially ending your first quarter century on earth, you've got some serious experiences behind you. So my real theory is that 24 is by far the worst age to be... ever. (Sidenote: as my life progresses, I may come up with a new age that is worse than 24, but come on, at this point I've only lived 25 years, I don't have that many to choose from!) (I also would like to side note that being 24 is NOT worse than that awkward stage where half of your body is matured and half is still a little girl, but since that isn't age specific, the fact that age 24 totally sucks is still a valid theory) Let's just ponder it... at age 24, you sooo cannot try and live the "college life" anymore. You are too old. In fact, when you hang around with people who are even 23, you feel way less cool, and like it's not even worth trying to fit in because you are just in a completely different place in life. Then there is hanging around adults. They're thinking, this person is only 24... fresh out of college, what do they know? Or, if not fresh out of college, they're thinking, this person is just a couple years older than my child who is in college.... what do they know? So basically I'm here to tell you, boy am I glad to be done with age 24! I would also like to tell you that everything I've previously written was just a rant, when I started my post, I had no intention of writing all of that :-) So here is what I had intended to write...
I'm sure if you were woken up at 4:45am, by what seemed to be a strobe light, on your birthday, you would look like this too...
Until you were able to focus and see this behind the strobe...
which is what my amazing husband and rest of the fam got me for my birthday! I've been told that there are now higher expectations for my blog, but please, give me time to learn how to use the thing! In my first run at testing it out, I captured this oh so cute picture of my little baby.
Stay tuned for another post on the rest of my birthday festivities!
Here's an addition to the post I wasn't planning on either... I just noticed in the picture above that Rich uses a pink pillowcase and I use a blue one. Wow are we backwards!?!?! Also, as I studied that terrible picture of myself, I realized it looks like I'm not wearing a shirt, but let me nix that thought, I totally am!!! And before you go telling me how bad I look... would you post a picture of yourself in the same situation on your blog??
