Today, I am 27-years-old.
If you would have asked me two years ago what my life would be like entering my 28th year, I would have given you a very different answer from today’s reality. I am the happiest I have ever been.
I have amazing friends who love me because of, not in spite of, all my quirks and flaws. I no longer feeling like I am waging a war against my body, merely a calm negotiation. I’ve learned a few lessons, though I am now smart enough to know I have many more to learn. My arsenal of kitchen gadgetry is commendable, as is my shoe collection. I’ve finally accepted that I will never be graceful or demure, but also realize those kind of people don’t appeal to me anyway.
Saturday night I put on “the dress” and felt truly loved as innumerable friends showed up to the birthday party I threw with one of my best, funniest, smartest, supportive and truest friends. I am a lucky girl.
Happy birthday! Love you! xoxo
Happy Birthday! Love the blog.

Aww, what a nice post in honor of your big day - I don’t know how anyone could do better with their well-wishes. You truly are wise, you’ll truly never be demure (thank God), and I can’t decide which picture is cuter. Happy Birthday, with Love …
Happy Birthday sweetie. Love the hair, you and Sara have the same bangs, lol.
Irish: I love you too!
Old Man: Thanks…and glad to hear you like the blog. I didn’t know you were reading.
carrie: I like the bangs myself, but worry they make me look young…such is life.
B: Someone help me the day I become demure…
Aunt C: Her hair was inspiration-for real.

Happy Birthday Toots! I have to say that 27 years ago today was a pretty good day for me too….even though the anestheologist was upset that I had to interrupt his super-bowl party festivities in order to help with your coming out party! I love you and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
