Two Decades Later...

I turned 20 today and I think I might be a little excited. My Saturday was full of ups and downs but ended quite splendidly with a surprise from the wonderful hubby. Of course when it was officially my birthday my ride or die and partner in crime came by and showed some love.. Late night/early morning talks w/Ramoo in his car parked somewhere are ALWAYS great, reminds me of why I love my BFF so damned much, hehe..

After you reach a certain age birthdays begin to seem more like an obligation than a celebration, like do I really have to turn 20? Say goodbye to the teen years and hello to official adulthood and yes, official adulthood even if I still can't legally drink. 20, to me sounds like responsibilities and more firm decisions, it's life-changing, although it has yet to hit me. Or maybe it has, I'm just choosing not to acknowledge those decisions and or new responsibilities until I get comfortable with this age. It's going to take a while for me to settle into 20 and really allow 20 to sink in. Damn, Francesca reminded me that I've been on this earth two whole decades already.

I'm starting to feel those 20 years right about now. I still have so much left to do, I'm still not even half-way through it. The birds are chirping outside and the sound brings me back at ease with myself. The sound of nature, of the world outside these four walls I've become so familiar with. Everything takes some getting used to and I might just be too used to you.

Anyhoot, in other news.. my brother's going to be a daddy again. I'm excited, people are shooting babies no if ands or maybes... and I honestly aint mad at em' as long as they handle theirs.

Peace, love and chicken grease.

P.S. that sweet tea from Mickey D's is slamming.
