Days 340-49: Birthday Bitch

Wow. It has been a long time since I've gotten my gratitude on. Way too long. And the truth is, I have no excuse. Life hasn't been super busy or more complicated than usual. I've just been lazy.

But today is my 24th birthday, so it seemed like the perfect day to recommit myself to this practice. The past few days have given me so much to be grateful for.

For example, I am grateful for:
* all the sweet, loving and wonderful birthday wishes I received today. From Facebook, to texts, to phone calls - it's all been wonderful. I got to text with my girls, talk with my brother, talk with P, talk to P's mom and sister and see Riley and Tyler. I couldn't have asked for more love.
* cute new stuff for P's and my place! My mom picked out some great stuff that will turn the apartment into a home.
* doing the cupcakes for Em's wedding! 'm so far beyond excited that I get to do this for Em and Clay!
* my own frog prince.
* spending the day in the kitchen. I made spanikopita, chocolate spice cupcakes (with chocolate ganache and candied ginger) and orange/campari spritzers.
* Riley and Tyler. The neighbors' grandkids are in town, and they are the sweetest kids ever. We've been playing a lot, and they surprised me this morning with flowers. A-dorable.
