On Turning 27

See those pictures above? Yup, that’s Toddler Nora. Born 27 years ago in New Jersey (oh, yeah, that’s right, I’m a Jersey Girl) in the middle of the night during a thunderstorm which is likely the reason I love rain so darn much.

So today I’m 27 though I’m tempted to call it 26 Part Two, not for any particular reason other than I prefer even numbers.

I don’t have any fabulous words of wisdom to share or fancy reflections from the past year. Instead I’m looking forward with no grand designs or expectations other than to go with the flow, continue to be positive and enjoy whatever new adventures come my way.

And with that, more random photos from various time periods in my life and a birthday request to delurk (if applicable) and ask me any question you want me to answer about anything (school, work, living at home, my dog, past boyfriends, whatever!) in upcoming posts.

  1. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

    I miss 27. 28 was a good year too. *sigh* 32 just means that when I go through the checkout line in the grocery store the cute kid bagging doesn’t flirt with me anymore. (Of course, that could be because I usually have my three kids with me and am screaming like a banshee with crazy eyes.)

  2. Happy Birthday, Love!! I hope that this year brings you so many wonderful momements and memories. I love that you shared all these pictures. As for 26 part 2, do it. Haha, I’ve been 25 for a while now. ;-)

    Love you, girl and I’m so thankful that we’re friends.

  3. Officially delurking to wish you a Happy Happy Birthday! I hope all your wishes come true and you have nothing but happiness!

    Question: How do you prioritize tasks seeing that you’re in grad school And have a job And do tons of fun stuff. Being a Grad student is for me quite the full time job!

  4. cute photos! i think i might borrow your only even numbers idea next year. although, 27 is divisible by 3, which is my favorite number… k i’m gonna go before i go on a weird ramble :) i hope today is rocking so far!

  5. Happy happy birthday!!! I also only like even numbers, subconsciously even! When it was 2009 I was prone to writing out 2008 and when I was 27 I often would say 26. Now that I’m 28 in an even year, I guess I’m a happy camper :)

    I hope you enjoy your day!

  6. Awwww… happy birthday!!! You’re as cute as you’ve always been. ^_^

    Going with the flow… that’s a good way to be. 27 is such a good age. I wish I could go back to that age myself. ;-)

  7. We’re entering the 2-month period where I’m only 9 years older than you. No wonder I love the month of October – I never feel quite so old. hahaha.

    Happy birthday, sweetie … you’re at such a great age, I really hope you’re enjoying it!
