Ain't above singing to myself.

Thirty-three today. Usually I spend birthdays reminding myself that I went another year without losing 20 pounds. While eating cupcakes of course.

Today I'm taking a more grateful approach. So here we go. 

Ten Things I Like About Being 33

1. I'm not afraid to ask questions anymore.

2. I'll never have to live through morning sickness again.

3. I know that no matter what people look like or have, we're all more similar than different. 

4. I know that pain is just part of it. You can run, but it never goes away until you feel it.

5. I know I will never be the perfect parent. That one is hard.

6. I know sometimes new shoes solve everything. 

7. I know it's just better to be yourself. If not, the people you attract will exhaust the hell out of you. 

8. I know happiness is more about how you see than where you are.

9. I'm not afraid to tell my hairdresser if I don't like it.

10. I never have to live through morning sickness again. That one bears repeating. 

Happy Day To You!

Happy Belated Bday, Maile! I have the perfect song to get back at you for that Scrubs business. Go to iTunes and download Stevie Wonder's Happy Birthday. You will be singin' it for days, sweetheart! =)
