Well, I’m 24 today. Wow.
I had to type “24” about a dozen times just now to get used to it!
I feel like just yesterday I was a kid….
Age 2 (I think) 
Age 9 with Dad 
Age 13 –that time I got blond highlights 
Age 16 
Age 21 
My my how times flies.
Well, I have a busy day of manicures, dancing, exploring NYC, delicious food and GLEE to get started, but I thought I would share a list with you of 24 things I would like accomplish in my 24th year.

A special birthday treat for you. Since I like it SPIIIICY, Hot Sauce Planet has offered to give all my readers 15% off an entire order of any SPIIIICY product(s) you would like. They have Hot Sauce, Salsas, Marinades, Spices & Dry Rubs, Condiments and so much more! Just use the code SPEEDYCHILI15 and it’s good through June 15, 2010! Horray!

Love Dad

I celebrated my 39th birthday this month and the pressure’s on to get my ‘house’ in order before I turn 40. Topping the list is to keep a food diary and eat more fruits and vegetables. I’m off dairy (mostly).
Have a great day!
