Twenty-Seven


{picture taken by my beautiful sister; edited by yours truly}

I turned 27 earlier this month. Two things about the photo: one, yes, those are bunny Peeps. Two, no, I'm not crying. I'm laughing at my family's terrible rendition of Happy Birthday to You. We kind of have a tradition of singing it more loudly and out-of-tune at every birthday.

Turning 27 has had a weird effect on me. It's kind of like, "Hey, we're not kidding here. Time to be a grown-up." Time to focus on the choices I'm making. Time to stand up for those choices after I've made them. Time to recognize that I'm not always like other people, and that that's not a bad thing. So...here's to 27, and focus, and courage, and...and I don't know what else. I'll get back to you on that when I turn 28.

  2. I had to giggle when I read that about the happy birthday song because our family does the same thing. It's so bad it makes the babies cry.

  4. Happy belated birthday!
    That singing reminds me of the Hogwarts school song. Wouldn't that be awesome if everyone picked a different tune and sang it?
