Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me ….. nobody sang me happy birthday today, boo. (Edit: My parents called me this evening and sang happy birthday to me over the phone!) And I got a kitty birthday card from my favorite person <3 <3
Last year I spent my birthday on the beach, basking in the sun (well I did that last week) but it is always fun to spend your birthday on vacation instead of at work!
I’m now 25. I started this blog when I was 20 – when I first moved to Pittsburgh. At the time it was my Pitt webpage, then onto LiveJournal, then to 9-lives, and now it is here. And now I’m moving and maybe it’s time to move my blog as well. It’s no fun to stay in one place too long! This site is long overdue for a new layout, but I’ve sort of lost interest in blog-designing. It is tedious and time consuming and I get frustrated when the css doesn’t work. I designed this page, as well as several other old designs that I now hate. I’m very tired of this one too. I think it might be time to just steal one from somewhere. I have so many pictures to put up too. I keep saying I’m going to do it but I never get around to it. I have pictures from all of last year, pictures from Gettysburg, and the beach. I’m a slacker and life keeps on rolling on by.
I got a birthday present from my boss today – a lovely little decorative plate for my new place and a sweet card from him and his family. His daughter (who is five years younger than me) is getting married next week but I can’t go because I have another wedding to attend and I can’t miss that, especially because it involves my friend from like forever and Chia Pets! Anyways my boss’ daughter is really sweet and cutesy sort of and seems to like happy things, so I bought her the cutest picture-frame in the world. Well I like it so I hope she will too.
I’ve treated myself (remember it is my birthday) to a three-quarter day of work because I have so much left to do in terms of packing. I made a list earlier of each room and what still needs to be done. I then alloted time periods to each room/ task and have concluded that it will take me four hours (at a normal pace) to finish it, so I think I’m going to try to step it up a notch and beat my time without doing things half-assed.
Well now that I have successfully done nothing productive today and have chosen to browse the internet, taken a coffee break to walk to the furthest coffee shop from my work, go out to lunch, and write this little story, I think it is time to go home and finish packing.
Adios and wish me luck!
