a quick note about being sweet 16

so, as you can probably guess by the title I am now 16 and yes it really is so sweet! It is also very confusing and I still don't have the answer to the meaning of life. Bummer! well, I did at least have a very nice celebration. On my actually birthday last month, my Mom was out of town so my family and I celebrated a couple of days before. I was given a lapful of exciting Miss America's Outstanding Teen goodies from the tradeshow in Orlando this summer. Among my treasures were a poster, wonderful pink travel mug for hot tea and cocoa, the DVD set, and a coveted little shoe-shaped clock. A few weeks later I celebrated again with what I must say was an awesome party. True, not as many ppl as I'd hoped were able to come but we sang the night away with karaoke and dancing and yummy cake designed by my best friend and when it was over, the deafening roar of music was left in my ears and the complete exhaustion that can only come from good clean fun was my only though as I drifted off into a blissful sweet 16 sleep with dreams of the year to come.....
k, so that was a little corny, but I'm allowed to have fun with this right?
anyway, just wanted to say that I love birthdays. They're never what you expected, sometimes not what you hoped for but they are always somehow just right and leave you feeling loved and at the same time expectantly waiting for more days to fill your life with memories and good times, lessons and love, and many jobs worth doing.
May birthdays always be happy!
