Twenty Five in Twenty Twelve

Wow. How did I become this old?? The thought of my mom always saying that in her mind she thinks Daddy to be a young man is on my mind lately. I feel like inside I am 20 years old and now when people ask me my age I have to think for a moment and remember that they want to know my actual age and not how old I think of myself as! 

To start the day I had a test in Anthropology that just about killed me. I had to take a nap in my History class just so that I would be able to stay awake for this snoozer of a class and take the test. I'm not sure if I would have done better on it if I had actually just fell asleep for the test itself. Once that was over Sarah picked me up for some pampering, or so we thought...

There is a Paul Mitchell school here in Salt Lake that offers services at a discounted rate. That should have been my first red flag. We got to the place and waited for someone to help us. I was up first. Sam called me back and on the order sheet it said that I wanted a "Shampoo and Set". He, yes HE, verified if that was right and I told him that I had no idea what that meant but that I wanted a trim. He said a "set" is what you see in movies when older ladies get rollers in their hair and it's kinda like a perm. Ohhhh! I said well I am 25 today but I don't think I am that old yet for a "set". So he attempted to cut my hair, in the weirdest way I have ever experienced, and then this is where it gets good. I told him that I wanted loose curls or a soft wave. Well I ended up with what looked like the beginnings of dread-locks. I know I can be a little dramatic but after 3 hours of what felt like HELL. I was so over this. I had an hour before dinner and Sarah zoomed home so that I could shower and redo my hair. Luckily Sarah was thought how to drive by the same man that thought me, Papa, and we made it home in record timing. 

We met everyone at the Little America for dinner and it was so relaxing. Great friends and great food made the rest of the day so great. Sarah loved the gift I gave her. A Silver Dollar from the year 1987. I am kinda regretting not getting one for myself now!

City Creek opened on our birthday so on Friday Sarah and I walked over to check out what all the talk was about. I loved that mall!! Tiffany's was, of course the first store I went into and left with a little blue bag. I have been looking for years for a "little r" necklace and Tiffany's just came out with a new line of necklaces that were just that. I should be in fashion I tell ya!  

Birthdays are great because you can always feel loved by the ones in your life. I must be really loved 'cause I feel that way everyday!
