no wonder kitties have such complexes

took a small hiatus from the blogging world. i have never been so tired in my life. i could easily sleep for two days straight, at this point.

wednesday was my birthday! twenty years old? crazy. it was a nice day, very quiet. i got myself up, went to the gym, took a shower, and went to work.

at work, everyone was great! they all wished me a happy birthday and michelle even made me cupcakes. vanilla kumquat cupcakes with browned butter frosting, to be exact. it was true love.

that night when i drove home, i saw a shooting star from my car. my very own little birthday miracle. it's an omen, people. 20 is going to be the best year ever, i can just feel it!

and pretty much that's all i've been doing...just working working working working working.

last night grandma and grandpa hughes came into town! i love having them here! i feel bad that i'm so exhausted and not much fun, but i'm happy they're here :)

this morning chloe and i ran down to the bakery (ok, we drove...) for some donuts! today we had chocolate donuts and banana caramel donuts. both delish. i brought them home for the fam bam. and we talked and we laughed and we told stories and we sang "call me maybe" at the top of our lungs because really, that's the only way to sing that song.

also, i would like to report a miracle. i have tan lines. sort of. a little bit. like you can tell where my rings go on my fingers and where i wear my watch. and i sort of have a tan line on my knees from last saturday when i helped out at my aunt janet's garage sale (which i never blogged about, but i did that last saturday and it was fun to see my cousins and help!). so this morning, i decided i would see what would happen if i laid out in the sun for a little while. i'm not sure if it did anything...but we'll see. hopefully i get a tan this summer for the first time in the history of ever. like i said, 20 is going to be a good year! ha.

tonight is marie cope's wedding. now she's going to be marie call. i'm so so happy for her and i can't wait to see her!

also, here is the overheard quote of the week:

"everywhere you go, there are dog treats. there are never things for kitties! no wonder kitties have such complexes!"

and here is my favorite cat photo of the week:

my aunt maryn posted this on my wall for my birthday. it combines my love of both cats and unicorns. she knows me so well.

and here are the rest of the photos:

this was my day last saturday. i'm a big fan of the cows and janae dancing with the garage sale signs.

someday...someday.
