Look at me, I'm 23!

When you turn 16, you can finally get your license and act like you know every single rule of the road. We won't discuss how I had to parallel park 3 times during my drivers test. But hey I passed!

Though this was last summer and not when I was 16, this situation is real. 

My car overheated in 5 PM Boston rush hour traffic while it was 99 million degrees and I cried because cars were getting so mad and I thought my car was gonna blow up.

When you turn 18, you can buy scratch tickets, ciggies and porn.

When you turn 21, well you can get absolutely shit-tanked, get into bars/clubs, and get away with being hungover.

But yesterday I turned 23 and it got me thinking. What's the next big age to look forward to?! There's 25, where I can legally rent a car without paying an outrageous extra fee. And then there's 30..which for some reason people fear! But no matter what age I turn, I will ALWAYS love birthdays.

For my birthday I didn't want to do anything too fancy. It was also a Sunday. The freaks, aka me, come out on Friday and Saturday nights.

I mean, though I was offered a 100% VIP hotel suite in New York City with champagne, lil wayne, open bar, and hot men dripping sex, I turned it down to spend the time with my family, friends and Kurt for the day on our boat. I'll celebrate with a trip to bars and clubs this weekend and next when my friends decide to destroy my liver.

So we cruised into Boston, sipped some cocktails, went out to dinner, and loved life!

I really really love these g-frands of mine. Did I mention we went to pre-school together and have been friends ever since? 20 years later, we are still kickin' it.

It was SUCH a great day. I am so blessed to have such awesome family and friends to celebrate my birthday with!

 Okay, 23 years old, don't disappoint me!!
