      Happy Birthday to me!
  I am officially 1/4th of a century old.

  I think I'm going to go take a nap....

  Happy Birthday to me!

  I'm 24.

  And I now own a set of 800tc sheets - queen sized no less. Soft as a baby's behind and quite a bit smoother...

  And tonight...I'm thinking steak...and possibly a long island iced tea...

  i seem to be cranky and crabby and all kind of other mean c words a lot lately

  i'd like to blame it on PMS, menstruation, an incipient infection, stress, the weather, faulty landlords...

  but i don't think that's what it really is

  what is it? i don't really know

  i'm not good at being happy. never was. don't remember a time in my
  childhood of actually being happy...not unhappy...just no happy. maybe
  people shouldn't be happy? who knows...we humans...I just don't
  understand us...

  we invent boredom, loneliness, dissatisfaction...we constrain ourselves
  with religion, education, ignorance, houses, heat...do we ever really
  liberate the us that's inside?

  sometimes, i wish just for a moment, a day, a week, to return to a time
  when it wasn't so damn complicated - not childhood or anything like
  that... maybe what i mean is, a past? where there were places where it
  really got dark at night, places where you couldn't hear cars at night,
  places where we didn't break the earth up into itty bitty neat
  organized rows to make it do what we wanted...

  so what the hell am I saying?

  again, I have no idea.

  however, this time I do think i have something to blame...digestion...

  this is what comes from eating chocolate chip cookies, cheese chunks and milk for dinner

  My thoughts for today?

  eh.
  I don't so much care.
  Birthdays are birthdays - I feel like I ought to give my mother a present (I was, after all, 8lbs and 10oz of pain).
  My husbands family (well, his mother to be specific) likes birthdays. A
  lot. I like presents and I'll appreciate gifts...but *shrug* I suppose
  I survived another year.

  Changes from last year?
  No more third shift working - I get to see sunshine.
  Curves diet starts next Monday, though our first class is tonight.
  Themes there include carb moderation and 6 meals a day...nothing new,
  but I'm hoping that the fact that I'm paying for it and the fact that I
  am in the class with my mom, my sister and my friend will help me stick
  to it (there are 10 total people in the class and my "group" makes up 4
  of them...somehow, I don't think the other six will enjoy things as
  much as I will).

  I will miss my carbs though - I like to consume them in large quantities. Mmmmm....bread.
