January 29, 1979

January 29, 1979 is an important day to me because it's my birthday. That makes Sunday the day that I am going to celebrate my 27th birthday. 27! When I was 16 I thought that 20 and up was so old. Now that I am 20 and up I don't feel that way at all. I really thought that I would feel differently by now but alas I still feel like Kelly. Every year that goes by I kind of get sad. Last year a very good friend of mine made me say my whole birthday day, "I am 26 and I'm pretty!". So here goes..."I'm 27 and I'm pretty!" Maybe I will feel better about that on Sunday. I need to learn the value of growing old gracefully while remembering that I am still young and there is still so much ahead of us.

Back to normalcy

For Christmas Steven and I went to Fresno, CA where I am from, to visit family for a week. We had a great time. Lots of eating, laying around and staying up playing computer (for Steven of course). It was very relaxing and was much needed. For the last week Steven has been in Nashville at NCYM. He has been having a blast, but I am ready for him to come home. I have been keeping myself busy by cleaning, decorating watching the first 4 episodes of Lost. It is really good. Umm lets see, that's about it. Work is getting back to normal and I am so thankful. I discovered that when I am stressed out and tired my tolerance level is very low. The break was good for recharging. Oh also I was reminded of how much I love Stroke 9 so I went and bought the CD. I have hardly listened to anything but them since. If that makes me a dork I am willing to take that responsibility.
