Its funny, for the last year whenever I've been asked how old I was, I'd never say "27" but instead reply "I'm turning 28." I don't know why. Perhaps it’s the feeling that 28 just seemed SO OLD ALREADY and I was mentally anticipating the actual age change. Plus 27 doesn't seem like an exciting age… 28, that's 2 years from 30! That just sounds daunting...
Now I'm 28. Eek!
Just kidding.
Sorta.
What's been really nice is that all throughout my birthday whenever I was asked how old I was, my response was typically followed with a "NO! You don't look it!" or "I was thinking 24… tops." I even got a "I didn't even think you were allowed to drink" in which I think the person had abused his right to drink profusely when he came up with that quip. Silly drunks.
My birthday itself was low-key… which was absolutely perfect. Sushi, spa, and an oh so delicious dinner with family. What more can a girl ask for!? Work the next day at 6am was hard to wake up for due to several glasses of wine that night, but definitely worth it when I found the office brightened with pink and red balloons, a little pink table set up with Hello Kitty napkins, plates, lots of food including my very own birthday cake! :) Who knew that my first Hello Kitty Birthday party would be at age 28?!
Hello Kitty will eternally make me feel young.
