"Today is my birthday, and I get one every year!"
Check out my fridge. Never mind the half of watermelon, the wheat bread, sliced turkey, beer, and Omega-3 eggs. I got me some cheesecake. Chocolate raspberry truffle cheesecake. A whole bunch of it. And I'm gonna eat it! Well, I'll share if I have too.
We went out on Saturday to The Cheesecake Factory which is one of my favorite restaurants. I drank a very cliche adult beverage (a cosmo) while I *gasp* nursed James in his sling. Ha ha! Jason thought it would be a good idea to get a whole cake rather than slices so I picked out what kind I wanted and they didn't have the size we ordered - only the BIG one. So, darn it, we went a ahead and got it without thinking and when we got the bill, Jason took a little gulp, like wow, that's some expensive cheese cake. I smiled at him sheepishly and he said, "Oh it's OK, you're worth a $45 dollar cheese cake. Well, more than that. You know what I mean."
This morning I was walking with my very, very pregnant neighbor and we were talking about age, and she said something like, OH to be 21 again! And I told her, "You know, I really don't want to be 21 again." I really don't. I feel like I'm just starting to be comfortable in my own skin now. 27 is going to be just fine, God willing.

Looks like you need help with that there cheesecake. Let me pack a duffel, I'll be over in an hour.
Happy Birthday! I still have never been to the cheesecake factory. I need to make a trip there some time soon :)
Happy, Happy Birthday! Many Years!
Happy Birthday! I'm 27 too, so I know how you feel! Yum, I think I need some cheesecake too :D
Happy Birthday! Looks like it'll be a birthday week with that thing hanging out in the fridge :)
I love that phrase "comfortable in my own skin". There's something so lovely about it. I like being 27 too.
Have a wonderful 27th year...
Happy Birthday, Lauren!
Many years!
Oh, and a BBQ is in the planning stages, we're attempting to sneak it in just before Dormition.
Happy Birthday, Lauren! May God Grant You Many Years! Enjoy all that cheesecake. Mmmmmm.
I wouldn't want to go back, either. I just turned 28 and every year I feel more content with who, where and what I am.
Happy Birthday and Many Years! How did I not know about this!
