Man... 2 weeks without blogging is like murder in your stats. In my defense, I've been sick. Like, laid-up-in-bed sick. I couldn't even do housework! BUT, i'm back to normal and ready to blog again!
Tomorrow (Friday), is my 35th birthday. YIKES! I remember, in my 20's, I used to invite everyone to the club and party it up. So is NOT the case now. My hubs has taken the day off and we are headed to Napa to do a little wine tasting and fine dining (and hopefully shopping!!!!!).
I believe I had posted something like this when I was 25 and 30, so another "things I've learned post" is due at 35. So, here are the things I've learned thus far:
1. Friendships aren't forever. They are like tides. They come and go. Some stay and some don't. Some come back later. That's life.
2. Weddings are hectic to plan. Be sure to take time out to remember why you're doing it all.
3. Cancer really sucks. Take care of yourself: eat right, minimize stress, drink water...
4. Be comfortable with YOU. If you're not, don't be afraid to fix what you don't like.
5. Siblings are a PITA. I love you dearly, but you know who you are. :) <3
6. Sometimes there are things you just want to keep to yourself (and those who were there) and not share with the whole world on social media.

24. It is important to take time out for yourself and reconnect with YOU.
