today is my birthday.* i am 28 years old. god, i can’t believe i just wrote that sentence. i’m tossing it around in my mouth, running the words from teeth to tongue, and damn, I AM OLD. when did this happen? i mean, i was always somewhat of an old soul, even as a child, but still. i’m on the precipice of turning 30. THIRTY, people. god help me, really.

excuse me while i go eat a giant piece of cake.

* i’m celebrating by taking a soul cycle class with my favorite instructor, isabel, at 8:30 tonight with all of my girlfriends – even a few who are total soul cycle newbies. i can’t wait to sweat it out with all my favorites, and then eat a cupcake afterwards. it evens out, right?
