an early birthday celebration

^^^ my birthday feast; thanks mom & dad ^^^

on tuesday, this girl is turning 25.

i cannot believe it.

i feel old, old, old. doesn't 25 just sound old?

i have decided the theme of my birthday this year should be "over the hill" -

it seems appropriate. 

i was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to celebrate my decent into old 

age with my family this weekend.

they spoiled me with a delicious dinner and a mini brownie birthday cake

(with coffee ice cream on the side, of course).

i cannot wait to celebrate with the girlfriends this week, too.

and you know,

i may just have to spoil myself with a pair of new toms. or something. 

i am currently lusting after this pair.

after all, i am not getting any younger.

xoxo, old woman.
