A Better Version of Myself.

Glimpses of a life that will not provoke jealously or resentment, rather, a simplistic understanding of an understated life.

Yeah Birthday!

Tuesday I celebrated my 26th Birthday. I remember being 21 (vaguely as I lived in SanFrancisco and was experiementing with a variety of lifestyles) and thinking how happy I was that I was not over 25 because it seemed gross. Well.... here I am and its not so bad... though I do believe my least favorite gift was the complex I gave to myself about being 26. fin.

I didn't all out celebrate as I am in the first week of camp. Those of you that have experienced this with me before know that this means that I do not exactly belong to myself... and at this point it is rather nice. I so encourage every person to give of themselves for at least one week. I think every person would be surprised at the capabilities that they never realized they posessed.. it is one thing to live in a great place, have a great job, make alot of money... but I fail to put into words the beauty of making a difference in one persons life. I am not trying to get all Sally Struthers on anyone here- its just how I am feeling. Everything that I have worked for in the past nine months made shocking sense when the 85 adults with disabilities arrived on Sunday. They are beautiful old souls and so full of love and acceptance that I have sympathy for those that will never know this joy. on to a lighter note.

So my Tuesday was great- my office was burried in balloons and streamers... great gifts from a slew of co-workers added a nice touch. My mom and brother took me to lunch and I had a drink and went shopping... and then a four hour nap- PERFECT. not to worry friends- I am not as old as I sound- this weekend I am looking to make up for time not spent dancing on tables and drowning my complex in a little thing I like to call beer. I am looking to dance and maybe get a somthin for the ride home. wink. (his identity is yet to be determined.)

To all of you that called on my birthday, I love you. Alli (come see me), Matthew, Kelli, Tim, Sam (nice try), Cody (I miss you!), Shelley, Tony, Tanner, Chris, Nof, Brad, Steve, AP,John, Nan, and so on...
for those that didn't call- you are dead to me. dead!


I am going out tomorrow night and I will list all of the details next week. I anticipate that stories of tomfoolery, scandalous behaviour and a bit of dry hump... (maybe even wet hump) are to be included. and so I will leave you with anticipation.

aww.
