This is for real. I am 24.
Why does that seem so much older than 23??
When I went to punch in my age on the elliptical this morning, I had to pause and remember that I am now a year older. But I was born at 11:45pm on the fourth so maaaaybe I could still get away with putting in 23 one last time. I mean, technically I was still closer to 23 at 5am this morning…
But no. I am a big girl. And big girls are honest about their years…all 24 of them.
So what will 24 bring? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
What I am positive about is this:
1. There will be baking. And cooking. But mostly, baking. In my new kitchenaid mixer. In my tiny studio oven. There will be blog-inspired recipes, and items I create all on my own. And there will be chocolate. There is always chocolate.
2. Country will reign supreme. Sure I will have days of Dave and moments of Kiss fm. But there will mostly be Kenny and Jason and Zac and Taylor (yes ok, Taylor).
3. My closets aren’t getting any bigger, no matter how much more I try to squeeze into them. Maybe I will just have to find a bigger space…
4. There will be wine. And laughter. And friends. And more wine.
5. Writing. On post-its and notebooks. On leftover grocery lists and laundry receipts living in the depths of my handbags. And here. I will always come back here.
