1 day. Not even. 3 hours left of my 20s. No words left. What an amazing day. Week. Month. Year. Decade. Life.

One week. 7 days. Today is the last Monday of my 20s. Etc.

I decided it was high time I took inventory. How’d I do with this here blog? I spent the year posting:3 Lillian Hellman quotes / 3 Tennessee Williams quotes / 4 Dorothy Parker quotes / 4 Pictures in the car / 5 Pictures at Taco Mac / 5 Pictures of manicures and pedicures / 6 Posts about hot guys / 6 Pictures in my green flowered shirt / 6 Pictures at concerts / 6 Posts for others’ birthdays / 7 Pictures with wine / 7 Pictures of Maggie / 10 Pictures at or about Muzak / 11 Alabama Football references / 12 Theatrical references / 13 different cities

23 Posts about food

24 Pictures of Alisonface

29 Song lyrics posts

And a bunch of other random and nonsensical stuff. If you don’t know much about me, the above list sure would be a good place to start. Now, I’m challenging myself to spend the next week posting about different things.

Except Alisonface. There will always be pictures of Alisonface.

“Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I’m through with playing by the rules of someone else’s game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It’s time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes
And leap”

- Stephen Schwartz, Wicked

16 days till 30. One hour till midnight, and I was very easily talked out of my pajamas and into a night out. We may be old farts, but we’re sexy old farts.
