23!

This is an exaggerated Seuss-like version of the cake I made last night, and as it suggests above:

Today I turn 23!

I've made a little tradition for myself- I write down some fun/serious/quirky/culinary/random things I want to do this year. In this case it'll be 23.

Previously I have stuck these lists in journals, but I figured it would be fun to share them.

2. Pickle things

3. Read a Charles Dickens novel

4. Plant some mint

10. Try my hand at embroidery

11. Go sailing

12. Go down a dress size
