26. Yikes.

First post of 2018! It's almost the end of January, so it's a little late, but still counts! I was going to do some kind of resolutions post, but nah. That obviously didn't happen. Maybe I will do another spring resolutions thing. That seemed to go better than new year's resolutions. We'll see. Anyways!

I have said it before, and I will probably say it again: I am not a fan of birthdays. My birthdays, that is. Other people's birthdays are fine. Ha!

And it's not getting the older part of it, though I will admit that that is a lot less fun than it used to be. 

There's just so much pressure for you to have a good day because it's YOUR day! And sometimes you just don't have a good day on your birthday. Life is crazy.

But this was a good one. I took a few days off from work, and thanks to the snow, it turned into a 5 day weekend. You can't go wrong with that!

I hung out with my family on Saturday. We went out for lunch then went to the movies and saw 12 Strong. It was really good! I'm usually not a huge fan of war movies because 99% of the time, they are so sad! But this one wasn't bad at all in terms of everyone dying. So I would highly recommend it!

Sunday was a nice lazy day. I met some friends for lunch, then I went home and watched/was disappointed seeing who would be going to the Super Bowl this year. Go Philly, I guess.

But that was pretty much it! Another year older. So. 26. As a friend reminded me, I am now closer to 30 than 20. Yikes.

I told my mom I think next year maybe we should just do the number candles. She said she didn't want to do that because it seemed so old! There was wax all over the cake by the time we got them all lit and "Happy Birthday" was sung. Oopes.

Raspberry White Chocolate Mousse Cake

Most birthdays, I get an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. I mean, I love ice cream and those things are delicious. But this year I decided I wanted to be fancy. So I got a cake from Alpine Bakery! Their cakes aren't cheap, but the one I wanted turned out to be the cake of the month so we got $10 off! It's the little things.

We are working on being better about taking more pictures.

Something was funny 😂
