2-6

in a week + 1 day from now i will be 26 years old. that's 4 years away from a possible mid-life crisis. actually, that's probably a bit young for that, but i'm sure i will be in crisis on that day. in fact, ever since hitting 25, birthdays just are not as fun. who really wants to get older anyway? especially when get older involves still being single. it does help that i still think as myself as 21. and my sister as 23...and so on with my remaining siblings. none of us seem to be getting older so that works out well. and of course, along with getting older, you only get wiser. here's my wisdom of the past 26.

in the past 26 years i have learned- there really is a plan for me. and i even agreed to that plan beforehand. not sure what i was thinking...

in the past 26 months i have learned- nursing school is hard. but i can do it. and i'm proud of myself for doing it.

in the past 26 days i have learned- some blessings fall in your lap. like jobs. and extra time with your kids.

in the past 26 hours i have learned- i still have post-divorce issues even though i pretend i don't. and i miss my best friends..all 4 of them.

in the past 26 minutes i have learned- 8 days is too long to be away from my kids.

in the past 26 seconds i have learned- i need to update my playlist.



oh to be 25 again

What a cool post. I LOVE what you did with the idea of your birthday. 26 is so old!! In fact I'm turning 27-even closer to the big 3-0. SCARY! I too think of ourselves as 20 and in college. Makes me sick to think about how old we really are. :) You have been through a lot- especially recently but you learn and move on. I hope you do do something fun for your birthday despite it not being as fun. You deserve some fun!! LOVE YOU!!

Ya know - I kind of remember thinking that about 30. But your 30s are the best. You get rid of a lot of the insecurities and angst of the 20s and become more of who you really are. I look back on my 20s and think, "Blah!" I can't wait to know you in your 30s, Bon, if you are this fabulous in your 20s!

Even when you are older than 26...you will always be my baby girl. I'll try to remember not to treat you that way, though. Great post, Bon. I love you.

I promise that being married and getting older has been anxious filled and depressing. I hope you feel a little better!
(and your bod looks like a frick'n 16 year old gossip girl)(that's good).
