my boyfriend just called and sang ‘happy birthday’ to me. i’ve a freshly-made giant-sized latte in front of me. my dad’s taking me out for lunch. the aforementioned awesome boyfriend is taking me out for a very fancy dinner tonight. it should be a good day.
i’m thirty-five years old today.
there’s not quite the sensation of trauma i expected, but i am feeling it more than any of the last few birthdays. i’ve mentioned it to several people over the last month or so, but in my mind thirty-five has always been the age at which you should have it all together. you’ve got a career, a relationship, a home and you’re just… adult. the problem is, i don’t feel like an adult yet. well, maybe in some ways, but not entirely. certainly not in the way i perceived adult-hood as a six-year-old looking up to them around my parents’ house.
this last year has been a complete blur. honestly, it’s gone by far too fast and i kind of wish i could go back and do some of it again. not to correct any mistakes, but just to enjoy it a little more. i hope this coming year won’t be quite so quick to slip away from me. i have several goals for my thirty-fifth year. they’re pretty big and will take a lot of effort on my part to achieve, but i hope i’m up to the challenge.
here’s to me… all growed up. who knew it’d look like this?
where’s my damn cake?
Happy happy birthday!
Hope you have an awesome birthday, chickie! Let us know what you had for your fancy smanshy dinner!
HAPPY B-DAY.
…and Binky ate your cake. :-)
holy happy birthday to the heather! you’re catching up to me.
I’ll make you a cake, but you gotta come get it :) Happy Day!!
Yeah, what Mel said. And you KNOW it’ll be good and look cool. :p
I have to admit, I did a little double take at your being 35. I mean, like you said, 35 is for old adult like people. And no one about MY age can be that old, right?! You’d think having a child nearly a decade old would make one feel more grown up, wouldn’t you??
Ah, well, enjoy! And remember, were you to get pregnant today (hmm, how ARE you celebrating? ;-)), you’re now considered “of advanced maternal age.” Isn’t THAT comforting??

Happy happy happy anniversary-of-birth, Heather!!
You are Amazing! I like how you are all thoughtful on your birthday. Good for you. I think birthdays are good milestones to consider the past and make some goals for the future.
