Killing two birds with one stone since it was the same birthday!
Last Birthday was a whirlwind for sure, and I appreciate my BFF Nia because she celebrated with me. IT WAS THE CELEBRATION, HOWEVER, THAT WENT AWRY. We ended up having nonalcoholic sparkling grape juice because 1. I was driving, 2. She had work in the morning, and it was late, and 3. I forgot the wine at home lol As we have prepared our spaces to eat, I open the juice, and it explodes everywhere. Instead of jumping into action, we both screamed and stood in one spot until I started screaming, “Get the swifer” over and over again. She’s screaming and running around in circles looking for a towel, and I was looking for the swifer WHILE STILL HOLDING THE OVERFLOWING BOTTLE.
So I ran with the bottle to the kitchen, put it in the sink, and then we looked around at the mess and started dying laughing. That moment of worry and panic and just complete chaos was what we needed. 202 was a tense year, and even though we were celebrating, we were extremely tense the whole time until that happened. Honestly, that one moment was the absolute highlight of my year. It made everything feel better, to just laugh and be silly and goofy after losing so many loved ones. My 29th Birthday was great!
