In a time not too long ago, there was a crazy, lady who celebrated her birthday like it was her job, but with a reckless abandonment and a twinkle in her eye that does not get sparked from grading papers and reminding students to stay in their seats while flashing the evil “are you kidding me” teacher’s eye. In her early adult years, April has always been a month full of hope and promise in a ”just give me a reason to celebrate” kind of time. With hair carelessly blowing in the early spring night air and a new pair of shinny, expensive shoes, she had late night-after-nights out on the town with those that enthusiastically embraced her very same "just give me a reason to go out and celebrate mentality" without the worry of fiancés and husbands/wives, early work mornings, new homes and way more bills and babies. duh, duh, duh …adult life has pulled up and everyone has seemed to jump on the train…a trained filled with real responsibilities which means less time for those, shall I admit it- overly frequent- birthday celebratory kind of nights. Now those nights during the birthday month are more few and far between, but they still exist...they are just a little different (and yes...I know different isn't a bad thing...it is just different- thank you for the reminder twin cousin). Maybe now, they mean more... It is April 9, and while the birthday month of 2011 is not the nonstop, crazy time it once was, it has been nice...it has been just enough.
Updates will follow…
