This is My Year

i've made the decision that 26 is going to be my year.  i am taking ownership and i've decided that this year is going to be pretty much awesome.  i was worried that by writing this i might be inadvertantly jinxing myself, but then it occurred to me that being jinxed is not part of my plan so i will continue.  and anyway, its an official declaration therefore superstition isn't a factor.

 

so boldly i march into my late-twenties.  and twenty-four hours later i think i'm doing alright.  taryn threw me a birthday party yesterday which was awesome.  we had some people over for snacks and drinks and then headed out to revival for the evening.  i was really glad that michael could make it out to celebrate, even though he was on-call and could only make a brief appearance.  adele came to the bar with us and greatly contributed to today's hangover.  as well, laura trekked into toronto for the night (her first away from ella!) so above and beyond my birthday i had a really good visit with her.

 

i was supposed to take pictures for my mom but totally forgot.  well, i got a picture of the cake but really nothing past 6pm.  it wasn't a particularly debaucherous night although i had my moments.  shannon is out in victoria and obviously could not attend but i used her as my inspiration.  kind of like those jesus bracelets - what would shannon do?  perhaps that is a dubious way to make decisions (particularly when under the influence) but i figure she had a pretty interesting 26 and i could use some of that.

 

so its going to be a fun year.  i've decided.
