Pre-Birthday Gifts

From myself of course!

A flat of strawberries and two sets of napkins from the farmer's market today.

Seeing as how my friends and loved ones are nowhere near me this year for my birthday (a new trend? Last year I was at basic training for my birthday!), I have a long sleep in and strawberry jam planned for my birthday day-off.

Boy do I love the smell of fresh, local, organic strawberries!!!

Almost 22...

Wednesday, June 17th 2009 I will be turning 22. Where has my youth gone?! While I fully embrace the body I have, still free of wrinkles, aches, stretch marks, and full of the youth, 22 just seems... old. I have moved from teenager to young adult, and now... adult? How much can I still get away with now that I'm out in the big bad world supporting myself and leaving my parents free from my financial burdens?

In an effort to pare down my personal belongings before heading out to Halifax on June 28th, I have been working solely from my stash for the past... six months?! Here is what remains!



And this is where it lives
