Today, I turned 26.
What a lame age, am I right?
I tried to make it less lame last night by cooking a nice meal with Mr. T.
We used this recipe and it was easy and the result was great. I picked it because I knew Mr. T liked breaded chicken and I thought it looked pretty and wanted to see if I could match the presentation. I fancy myself quite the presenter. Even if I do then take a photo of the final product with my iPhone.
For dessert, we had store bought red velvet cookies and a cardamom truffle left over from our amazing dinner Saturday (that review is forthcoming, but requires me to wait on a piece of mail).
I also had half a bottle of Chianti, which paired well with the Italian-esque dinner and the truffle.
Then I went to bed at 9 p.m. – proving that, like the age of 26, I am quite lame.
Today I awoke, on my day of birth, and went to the gym at 5:30 a.m. Again, lame.
I did that so I could eat Greek food for lunch and see the Ides of March and drink beer tonight.
Because even if seeing a movie on your birthday is lame, drinking while you’re doing it is pretty fun. AND there are some highly attractive specimens in the movie. So… it’s my birthday and I’ll be lame if I want to.
happy birthday! 26 turned out to be a good year for me, so here’s hoping it’s the same for you! 25 was another story. that year needed to die. so far 27 seems old, and i’m already in the year where I turn 28. yes.
(that meal looks impeccable)
I don’t think the year will be lame. I loved 25 and I’m eager to see what 26 brings. I just think that age is so… ordinary. You don’t even get a knock down on your insurance rates or anything. I’m clearly being ridiculous.
You get knocked down again on insurance when you’re 30
30 is already a super cool one. You get to throw a huge party, and maybe someone throws up on your cupcakes…
LMAO
Hey, as someone who is exactly half way through 26, it’s not that lame. Have a wonderful birthday!
Soul sister!
Yum, that chicken looks really good! Well done on the presentation. And happy birthday! With the amount of awesome meals you’ve had over the last week, I don’t think you can qualify this one as a lame one, sorry to break it to you.
That’s true! Again, it’s just the age or the actual birthday of 26 I find lame. I didn’t express myself properly it seems. Lame.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
26 isn’t so bad. Gravity has started to become a bit of a bitch, but other than that, I kind of like using my oldness as an excuse to stay home and sit on my ass.
Oh – and that chicken you made looks amazing. Your presentation is awesome.
Damn, I hope I don’t sag TOO much.
Happy Birthday!
Enjoy your fun plans tonight!
Happy Birthday! 26 is not lame. Im about to turn 34 which sounds very old to me like I should be a suburban soccer mom. Well, not about to turn, but in 4 months.
I think it’s pretty awesome that you’re NOT a suburban soccer mom.
24-28 were the best years of my life. How can you think 26 is lame? That is a state of mind. I’m loving this year more than last so maybe I’m back on an upswing as 29 and 30 were pretty sucky all around for me (not the birthday, but the year in general).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Didn’t you get married at 29?
25 was definitely the best I’ve had to date, so I’m hoping this year will top it.
I was 28.5 when we got married. 3 year anniversary in 4 months
Aw, then the company we don’t speak of thing happened. Got it.
yeah, I’m gonna be 26 this year too and I’m totes lame. Mostly in the frumpy mom sort of way. haha
You are FAR from frumpy!
I second that emotion. You are very far from frumpy!
It’s your birthday and you can just go ahead and do what you want! On my actual birthday last year, I baked a birthday dessert for my friend and had some wine. It was fabulously peaceful.
Sounds awesome. Minus the baking. But definitely the wine.
I wish I liked to bake.
Happy birthday!! And 26 was a great year for me. I got engaged in Vegas and felt a lot more together than I did at 25. I feel good things are on the way for you. Good things. (Picture me saying that in a Robert De Niro voice.)
I’m going to Vegas at 26! I hope to win a million dollars.
Happy birthday, lovely! I get more lame the older I get. You just wait til you’re almost 29 like me!
26 was actually a big year for me! 27 – totally lame. I have high hopes for 28 now. Good things happen in even numbered years.
Greek food and booze = perfect bday. Enjoy! Happy happy!
I like that idea. Except next year I’ll be all freaked out because it’s an odd numbered year…
Happy Birthday! I am also turning a lame age in a few short days. Major letdown after last year’s milestone which included Vegas and a party in Chicago. To help make myself feel better I plan to bury my face in a huge plate of pasta and drink at least one bottle of wine to celebrate my lameness.
Pasta and wine are both solutions to all things.
Happy birthday! I hope 26 is just a slow starter, but will turn out to contain all kinds of awesomeness.
Happy birthday! It think your night sounds lovely, but I’m 32 so I’m incredibly lame compared to you.
Lameness does not increase with age, I think it decreases. I was way lame as a youngster.
Happy birthday Kacy! I don’t make a big fuss over the actual “day” either. Low key is the way to be ; )
Happy birthday, Kacy!! 26 may be lame (the first 10 months of it have been for me) but you are not!
Happy Birthday girl!!! Your chicken dinner looks scrumptious. And look at it this way, you could be turning 3-0 in one week ehh hmmm *cough cough*
— talk about lameeee haha – how did I get so olddddddddd?!
You look like you’re 18, in case you didn’t realize. That is all
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! 26 is not so lame … you wait!
Happy Birthday! Now I’m not looking forward to 26, thanks…
Not that I ever was, really.
Haha, sorry. Not my intent!
Happy birthday!
It’s not lame if you enjoy it.
Then, it’s just plain awesome.
