May 5, 2012 / 22 Comments


Today is my 36th birthday … which I can’t totally believe because, seriously, where did the time go?

I’m out and about today doing stuff to celebrate … like getting a massage … and getting the side of my hair shaved off.  Later today I’ll be out with my friends having dinner then it’s off to see The Avengers *woohoo*.  All in all I am thankful and expect it to be a great day.

In honor of my 36th year of life on this here planet, I present to you

36 Reasons I’m Thankful
