Oh Hey, It's My Birthday

Today is my birthday and I wanted to use one of my favorite OPI polishes.

Dazzled By Gold, a 2009 Ulta holiday exclusive. This is three coats. It dried super fast. It's super blingy. I super love it.

Another year is gone. I almost can't believe it. So many things have changed. Recap?

--I moved from Pleasantville, Ohio to Cleveland, Ohio. I live alone for the first time in my life.

--I started graduate school.

--I started a new relationship.

--I got a new job I actually like.

All in all I suppose the last twelve months have been pretty good. Things are hard right now, particularly this week, but I'm going to get through it. I always do. I cry and moan along the way, but I always come out the other side. That's how I have to approach things, I guess.

I think I really have grown up a little bit since last November. I have new responsibilities and new priorities and I don't think that that's a bad thing. But mostly...I still feel like the little girl I know that I am inside.

Little Steffie. I still dress like this!

Twenty years later and still trying to snuggle cats on camera.

Even if I'm still feeling crappy I'm going to slap on some red lipstick, give a damn good presentation in my Northern Renaissance class, and eat a piece of chocolate cake. Because hey, you only turn 24 once, right?

Right.

Happy birthday to me! Time to dance to ELO.
