the rain has subsided

ok it is still dreary outside but i feel amazing and so for me-the storm has passed and things are just really sunny for me

yesterday i was able to successfully and in under 25 minutes obtain a new DL and temp tags for my car-so i am legal again and no longer on house arrest

tomorrow is my best friend's bday-yea Kel's-but man each year as she has her birthday it is a very loud reminder of my upcoming one in a few months-i usually delight in EVERYONE else getting older-but can i just say i have a serious pigmently challenged hair on my hairline AND a few stragglers in places that i was not aware would turn gray :( *sad so sad*

so my point was that-yes i am young BUT in my mind i still feel like i did when i was a teenager and hell at the time 20 seemed old and now the closer i get to 30-i think wow-its not really old and the life experiences at each stage are so different and i am glad that even though i may have tried to rush certain things-i am glad that they are coming in due time because i have a different view of the world and of life now.
but as Kel's is turning 28 tomorrow-its a reminder that I too will be 28 this year-seriously where does the time go? wasn't i JUST 17-and yes i thought i couldn't wait to be "an adult" but wow

i am not afraid of turning 28 or even 30-it just seems so surreal and it seems so real when someone else turns 30 or 40 because i still feel like i did in high school except the 30 additional pounds i have put on since then-
and for anyone who just sucked their teeth-it's TRUE
when i was in high school i weighed around 118pounds-even as a senior and now yes i am somewhere in the 140's and who cares if everyone thinks it looks ok-i liked how i used to look, i liked my "non womanly body" as my Mom puts it

anywho i digress

i go home on Friday-home on Friday-Friday-Friday!!! yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
