Okay, buckle up buttercups, because your girl just celebrated another trip around the sun, and I'm currently processing it all with the help of a frosty margarita (or three...who's counting?).
**Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall...Did I Order the Extra Wrinkles?**
Birthdays, am I right? They're like a surprise party you throw for yourself, except the surprise is usually a new grey hair and the realization that your knees now make a sound like Rice Krispies when you stand up. I swear, I looked in the mirror this morning and saw a slightly more seasoned version of myself staring back. A *slightly* more seasoned version that may or may not have borrowed my grandma's eyebrow tweezers.
Seriously though, mirrors on birthdays are dangerous. They're like, "Hey, remember that youthful glow you used to have? Yeah, well, it's gone. Replaced by...wisdom lines? We'll call them wisdom lines." I'm pretty sure my mirror is gaslighting me.
And don't even get me started on my metabolism. It apparently packed its bags and moved to a tropical island, leaving me behind with a lifetime supply of elastic waistbands. I swear, I just *think* about a slice of cake and my jeans shrink. It's a conspiracy, I tell you! A conspiracy orchestrated by the fashion industry to sell more leggings.
**Back to the Margaritas!**
So, yeah, another year older, another year wiser...or at least another year closer to needing reading glasses. Whatever. I'm choosing to celebrate with good company, good drinks, and the unwavering belief that I can still rock a pair of skinny jeans (even if they require a little...strategic maneuvering).
Cheers to another year of questionable decisions, awkward dance moves, and hopefully, a whole lot of laughter! Now, if you'll excuse me, I think my margarita glass is calling my name. 😉
