25

Everyone told me that 25 was going to be a hard one. With warning, I still wasn't prepared! I'm thinking I'll never come to terms with getting older, but every year it seems to be more upsetting. I've always hated birthdays, so the fact that I was feeling terrible, I had a legitimate excuse to spend most of my day in bed. Kyle had to work, but I ended up getting up long enough to bum around his work for a few hours until the nausea made it's return.

Before I finish this thought, here's a little background. At my old job, I was always taking calls.

Me: Corporate offices-- This is Alesha. How may I help?
Caller: Luesha?
Me: It's *A* lesha
Caller: Luesha! Okay.. look .... blah blah blah

* * *

Me: Corporate offices-- This is Alesha. How may I help?
Caller: Luesha! Perfect! Exactly who I needed to talk to!
Me: Haha... Alesha... Yeah?
Caller: Luesha. Right. ... blah blah blah


The lady LOVED using what she thought was my name. I corrected her three times, and then I gave up. I shouldn't have told Kyle about it, as he thinks it's super funny to call me that. When I went to visit him at work, he surprised me with this birthday cake--



The best part about my birthday? Several of my friends that had forgotten or didn't know, texted or called that day just to chat or let me know they were thinking about me. Maybe this seems backwards, but the fact that they forgot and just thought to do that meant a lot! I fell asleep that night feeling pretty lucky!

What else?

Well, since I've been feeling better these last few days and it was Kyle's weekend, it feels like it's been super busy. When I go to make a list though, it's more like super lazy. I feel like I'm forgetting big things, but as is, I'm going to have to work backwards.

6/18/11:
- My parents' 28th anniversary. 25 years they haven't killed me and 28 years that they haven't killed each other. Impressive.
- Kyle made me breakfast, his own creation of oatmeal with ice cream on top. Tried to choke it down. Partial fail.
- Dance Central
- Lizard hunting


(WTF is she wearing? I KNOW! I THOUGHT THE SAME THING!)
- More Dance Central with Kyle's nephews
- Tailgating / Sliding in for the last few minutes of the Randy Travis concert

6/17/11:
- Breakfast in bed. Too spoiled. Seriously.

- Picked my favorite P.O.S. car up from the shop. Runs $1,000 better, I guess. Long live the "Ol' Handa"!
- Swimming
- Delicious chicken taco salad. Eating at home is the way to go!

6/16/11:
- Mimi's Cafe (I only mention this so I can warn. Five dollars to the person that can choke down their entire bread pudding dish without throwing up or chasing the entire thing with water.)
- 51s game! On the way home, I told Kyle I wanted more pictures of us, especially when we go do fun things like that. He told me he looks stupid in pictures, then my phone went off with a text message-

Us. Amusing.
- "Bad News Bears"

6/15/11:
- Swimming
- The last ant died
- "Heavyweights"


Before that:

- Sleeping
- Throwing up
- Peeing blood & glass (maybe not glass, but it felt like it)
- More sleeping
- High as a kite

SO thankful that this 2 month ordeal is hopefully over and SO excited to make this next week a productive week that WILL include the gym! I'm baaaaack!
