My Birthday: 22

I'm officially old, 22. College is over. I pay rent and UTILITIES. Welcome to adulthood. I hate every moment of it. I have not had the best experience with birthdays past. That coupled with the fact that I feel old and like I was hoodwinked into becoming an adult has been making me feel really crappy and grumpy lately.

Yesterday, however, I took some time out of responsibility and just treated my self. I started at the salon, mani, pedi, eyebrows, which were growing to the side of my face. That spa was heaven. How I wish I could live that way all the time. My feet would certainly thank me.

I tried a new color. I usually stick to neutrals but it's my birthday. 

I also went to see a new movie, Total Recall, with my good friend Natalie. It was good. It reminded me of the Bourne Trilogy, except futuristic, magnetic cars, robot police, all that stuff. I haven't seen the original but I do know it's not true to the original story. Some critics said that it's only better than the original because of the fancy special effects. It's not a "must see" but I enjoyed it.

Then I went to one of my favorite restaurants, Legal Seafood, for dinner. I had the stuffed jumbo shrimp. Oh. em. gee. delicious. The service was phenomenal. Then Natalie surprised me with cupcakes from Red Velvet Cupcakery. Their frosting -- which can make or break a cupcake -- is amazing.

My birthday treat from Legal Seafood,
 ice cream balls covered in chocolate. 

Overall, a great birthday.
