Current mood:grateful

So today is the last day I get to be 22...  That's right folks, I'm getting older again!  Tomorrow is my 23rd birthday and it's such a trip.  This time last year I was just barely getting off from working 36? days straight.  Well, I DID get Memorial Day off...  The day of "Let's go across the street", "Ms. Meogee is spying on us again", and of course who can forget "The goat..."  A day where quite a few of us figured out you ought not to mix wine with a LITTLE sprite, call it a "shot", and sell it for a mere $1.  That was quite the day...  This time last year things certainly were a LOT different...  I had a roommate, was single, was getting ready to go to Texas for vacation, was planning a bachelorette party, and in the midst of all that trying to keep my brain straight to work 14/16 hour days, 7 days a week...

TODAY is not that life at ALL...  I live by myself which I love so very much.  I'm not really sure that I'll ever live with another person until I'm married...  I have a boyfriend who is treating me like gold!  How I got so lucky with him, I may never know!!  I live in Texas now, not just "visiting" as my car insurance company thought for so long haha...  The bachelorette party that I put a lot of time, effort, and money into was for a girl who ended up leaving her husband for someone, although I do like him, that never in my wildest dreams did I imagine her with.  I do NOT work 14/16 hours a day, I work 8.  I do NOT work 7 days a week, I work 5.  I get a full hour lunch break, and two 20 minute breaks during my 8 hour day. 

It really amazes me what 6 months or a year can do for one person's life.  I am nowhere NEAR the person I was when I turned 22.  And as far as my birthday, I have absolutely NO idea what I'm doing.  The whole weekend has been planned for me.  The only thing I planned was going to Six Flags Fiesta Texas in San Antonio on Saturday.  My closest friends have planned it all out for me.  I've never had people do that for me...  I'm really grateful to seeing how much people care for me! 

Now that this blog has run on forever, I suppose I'll close.  But just in case anyone cares, I will be sober for my birthday this year, and that's a pretty exciting feeling to embark upon.  Saturday morning, I will not wake up hungover.  I will not have to worry about what I said to anyone the night before.  I will not be worrying about what guy was trying to fight me in the middle of the bar (like last year).  I will not be dealing with a drunken "princess" trying to make my night all about her.  I will not beg for the attention from the guy I'm dating (again, like last year) cause we're going to be doing what he's planned for me!  What a feeling!!!  Okay, time for work!
