It’s My Birthday!!!!
August 16th, 2010 | 
Author: Today, August 16, 2010 I turn twenty-one years old. It is insane to think that I’ve been alive that long. While I am glad for all the amazing things I have done, I can’t help but also think of all the incredible things that I haven’t done. There are so many adventures I haven’t gone on, so many opportunities I’ve passed up. Whatever my reasons might have been at the time, I just want to forget about all the excuses and try my best to just do more in the future. I want to be the kind of girl who jumps head first into things without fear of the consequences.
I guess that is my birthday wish this year. So instead of drinking way too much at a bar, I’m being responsible tonight. I have a huge work day ahead of me tomorrow and I want to start off the week on a good note, not a hung over one. Even better, I’m writing this post in which I get to share some extremely exciting news with all of you. My blog anniversary was a little over a week ago. Can you believe it, one whole year of blogging? It seems like just yesterday that I started this blog and already I’ve discovered so many amazing features of the blogging community. Still, I haven’t been able to focus on blogging as much as I want to. I’m getting better about it this summer, but there is still so much I want to do.
So instead of whining about it, I’m going to host my first giveaway ever!
I’m a huge fan of Aidan Donnelley Rowley’s blog, Ivy League Insecurities, and when she wrote up a post about publicity for Life After Yes, I was eager to help. I recently purchased the book for my iPad and although I haven’t been able to finish it yet because of all the hectic craziness in my life I have really enjoyed the chapters that I have read thus far. Anyway, she agreed to send me several copies to give away. So, it is with extreme pleasure that I offer 8 paperback copies of Life After Yes to you my wonderful readers on my birthday!
To enter, please just leave a comment (with your e-mail!) telling me about a memorable birthday of yours (extra props if said memorable birthday happens to be your 21st birthday!). This giveaway will be open until August 30, 2010 at 12:00AM PST. I will pick the winners at random after that time and will notify them via e-mail so if you don’t leave your e-mail, you can’t win.

Happy birthday to you!! I’m going to say my 50th birthday. My husband had planned a surprise birthday party for me and then we decided to go out of town. He forgot to tell the people he’d invited that the party was canceled and they showed up – several drove a couple hours to get here! Needless to say, his name was mud for a while.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Happy birthday (and happy blogiversary!). No need to enter me in the giveaway, just wanted to say congrats
Happy slightly belated Birthday!! (No need to enter me in the giveaway)
Happy Belated birthday!!!
First of all, happy birthday day to you! I don’t think I can beat Kathy’s 50th! But….when I turned 21 was a pretty good one — not because I was legal although my parents did send a very cute beer stein shaped cake to me at college, but because my boyfriend (now husband) saved up his money and took me to Inner Harbor Baltimore to visit the aquarium and just hang out. Such a thoughtful guy!

Happy Birthday! Can I just say it’s insane that you think it’s insane you’ve been alive 21 whole years? lol Cause it is when you just turned 30 and you think what the heck did I do with the last 10 years? Ack! My 21st birthday was memorable only in that it wasn’t that memorable. Boo. Probably one of my best birthdays was when I turned 20. It was my first birthday away from home (cause I started college when I was 19) and my family all came up to the mountains where I was going to school at the time and we (plus my 2 young cousins and my boyfriend) had a wonderful time on the Blue Ridge Parkway and it was very cool to feel like an adult for the first time.
