new way to spend a birthday.

I'm a fan of other people's birthdays, just not my own.

Don't get me wrong: I actually absolutely love that I was born on Valentine's Day because it gives me reason to always celebrate it and one of my best friend's has the same day of birth. I just don't like when others make a big deal about my big day. The idea of a surprise party actually makes me shudder. Shouldn't it be my mom you're praising each year? She's half of the reason I'm here anyways.

I stumbled upon this girl, Robyn, and her "Birthday Project." Now I know exactly how I am going to be spending my 28th birthday come February of 2012: 28 random acts of kindness coming right up.

I can't think of any cooler way to tack on another year of life.

but wait!

there's more!

Here are a few things I'm digging lately:

• History of Rap - Part 3 Can I request JT for Christmas please?
• The Biggest Loser How am I just now getting addicted to this show?
• Pinterest I can't stop.
• RockMyRun Free downloadable music to get you through any length of run.
• 10 days The real countdown to Spain is so on.

As cliche as it is, I find myself feeling more grateful each additional November which rolls around.

enough said.

There is no way I could say anything more fitting at this moment.
