In years past, I've spent a lot of time worrying that my birthday wouldn't be celebrated enough. When I was in high school, it usually fell during exam week. In college, it fell a few weeks after school was out, so all my friends were gone. As an adult it usually falls on a work day, so what can you do?
Last year my family and friends threw me a KILLER surprise 25th birthday party and I think it cured me of my birthday anxiety because this year, I didn't care at all.
Which is probably why I had one of best birthdays I've ever had.
I got to party down with my closest friends. I got cards and packages in the mail. I drank way too much. I saw out of town family members. I randomly ran into an old college roommate and her brand new baby.
There was just so much goodness last week. It made for a truly amazing birthday. Happy 26 years to me!
