roaring twenties

Happy Birthday Week to ME!!! Birthday's are a big deal in my family, so I will take the opportunity to induldge myself basically all week. Don't mind if I do. I turn the big 3-0 on Tuesday and I was just thinking about all the things that have happened in the last 10 years of life. I figured I'd share some of those things with you...so without further adieu and in no particular order...."My Twenties."
