A Fresh Beginning: My Birthday!!

I'm year older today :( this is probably not the way to start a post about my birthday, but this is how I really feel :( well I don't actually "feel" older.. whatever that means.. I always hate it when people ask me that question; how do you feel now that you are a year older?" duhhh! I don't feel any different!! You don't wake up the day of your birthday "feeling older" You just know you are and that in itself is depressing enough...Ughhh :(

My birthday this year was a bit different, I really did not want to do anything and I actually told my family and friends not to worry about planning anything because I did not want to do anything. I just wanted to sit around and mope about the fact that I was a year older and still had not accomplish all I wanted to accomplish by this time in my life. But thankfully I have friends who kept insistiing that I do something, and one of my friends proposed that we go to New York and I loved the idea; I did not necessarily have to call it my birthday celebration just an outing with friends, plus who can say no to NYC!! lol. But then the problems started, I wanted all my friends to come with me, but it was not working.. So after much frustration and almost giving up I came up with the idea of having a birthday celebration the night before my birthday with my friends in Philly and spend the day of birthday in NYC with my friends who could make it to NYC. Needless to say it worked out great! I went from having no birthday plans to having two celebration! And with two celebration comes two cakes!!

The night before my bday: Tiramisu fruit cake!

The day of my bday: fruit pie! and yes those are mangoes!

So you may ask how do I feel about my birthday now? (a much better question then "how do you feel now that you are a year older?" lol) I would say that I still feel kind of the same :( I'm still a year older.. but I have to admit that I had a great birthday celebration, both days were great and I was actually sad when the day ended, after all April 10 only comes once a year.. But I thank everyone who made this day special :)
