Twenty-three

Asides

Another day, another year! One step at a time, I seem to have found myself another year older. 2006 was a great, I’m just amazed at how quickly it went by. Time flies when you’re having fun. :) Previously: 22, 21, 20, 19. (Have I really been blogging that long?)

    Happy birthday Matt! I just had mine on Monday.

    You think it’s going fast for you? It seems once I turned 25, the years have flown by. I’m now in my 30′s.

    Keep up the great work and best wishes for a rocking 2007!

    Happy Birthday…. I’ve been waiting to run into you in IRC to wish you the same. Hope you have a good day… and that you end up too busy for me to “run into you.”
