So this is what 22 feels like. Oddly enough, it feels a lot like 21. What a rip off.

I had a fantastic birthday. Thank you to everyone for all the kind birthday wishes - I appreciate everyone thinking of me! I would like to bring to everyone's attention my sister's post, in particular, but only because she has my favorite picture ever of us together for all to see. That would be photo number one. Give me an M!

My dear sister also sent me an awesome bouquet of flowers. It's a total color explosion on my desk and I love it. I also got 22 red roses from Darren. I got flowers from Darren for the first time ever! They're gorgeous. He's the coolest boyfriend I've ever had. Take that, you limey fuck.

Anyway, my co-workers are also complete sweethearts. I was showered with gifts and cards and well wishes all day long. Apparently kindness is contagious there. Not that I'm especially kind, but they sure all are.

I spent last weekend back home where I got to hang out time with my very drunk family and visit with old friends and drink beer and play bingo with a buzz. I also got to go four-wheeling and I got to beat my brother in mini-golf and I got to play pool (poorly) and I got to watch Tower's outstanding parade and get a weird sun rash in the process. Lord, let the leprosy go away.

That's what's new in my neck of the woods. Oh, and you better be coming to my sister's on Saturday to get drunk. We want you there. All of us do. There will be cake.
