So....I celebrate my birthday for 18 days. Why?
Well many years ago I attended the National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine at UCLA and I was in LA for my birthday. It was actually my 16th and a few days later I celebrated it at the Community House in my home town. What's a community house? Basically is a location that costs $50 to rent and if you don't break anything you get your money back! Its a sweet deal that only exists in places like where I'm from...left of the somewhere.
Anyways....on the 16th of July I had my party and the multi-day celebrating of my birth was born.
Nowadays, I build my birthday like a mountain. The pinnacle is the 9th...my actual birthday but I build it up. I start small with little things I love the first few days then it gets bigger and bigger. I also leisurely come back down from the high of my own birth over a few days as well.
This year....its not quite like that but its going to be good. I had to shift the pinnacle slightly because of scheduling but I'm excited! I'm pretty sure there will be some white water rafting, movie going, incredible food eating, and quality time spending with my #1 girl.
And also…. BEYONCE! Yes…the Queen! We're going to see her July 15th in the Georgia Dome!
Today….I had a warm chocolate chip cookie, went out to lunch with a friend, got a dress to wear during my ATL birthday trip, let Sabs kick my ass at the gym, had a heartfelt conversation with a bestie, laughed with a college roommate, talked to ML, ate chocolate fudge brownie ice cream, AND watched my mom watch two episodes of OITNB. Today was long but good. Very good for 3 days into my birthday.
