Right now I'm half-way through my birthday and it's already been amazing and since I don't know when I'll get around to writing in my actual journal, I'm going to blog some of the highlights, because this is definitely my best birthday yet.
Things I was looking forward to by turning 25:
- Saving hundreds on car insurance: Literally, I saved almost two hundred dollars on my auto insurance by turning 25 and having one of my speeding tickets finally off my record from 3 years ago. There's a hilarious commercial that helps illustrate this, and my 25th birthday happens to fall on a Hump Day. So I am quite happier than the camel in this commercial:
- Being able to rent a car without extra fees: I will celebrating this on a trip to New York next week. I always hated paying extra for car rentals and I'm quite ecstatic about this.
Silly moments from last night:
- Last minute decision to go to a Spurs/Nuggets game with Heather. Go Spurs!!! (they won!)
- My friend Brian had called me in order to give me his phone number, but I accidentally saved his name under the number of the guy who I picked up the bball tickets from. I had sent this guy a text inviting him to my birthday karaoke party tonight and we ended up having a conversation, which I thought was bizarre because Brian was at dinner with my other friend. It wasn't until we were trying to meet up with them after the game that I realized I had the wrong number saved the whole time. Awkward!!!
This is the first birthday that I think I'm truly celebrating to its fullest extent. I did a good amount of planning. I'm having two parties so that I can celebrate on my actual birthday but also on the weekend when it's more likely that people can come out (but interestingly enough, I'm having a higher turnout for the mid-week shenanigans). I got a bunch of my freebies and am taking advantage of that. Then I also am going out and getting free stuff from the places I go. I can use my "birthday card" but had a sad realization today when I drove to work that I couldn't use my birthday as an excuse to get a good parking spot. That was disappointing when I still had to go through the same trouble.
I feel so overwhelmed with all of my birthday shout-outs already. I feel so loved and I seriously love all the people I know. SO MUCH LOVE!
Alright... I'm going to be leaving work soon to go to a dentist appt so I'll continue this a little later! 12:30pm
