In honor of my birthday today, August 19th, you all will be compelled to go buy some candles from my little candle store. Because I said so.

Don’t want to do that? Okay, I understand. Really, I do. Seriously.

I would also like to make another announcement. Today is, indeed, my 24th birthday. It is also my last birthday eva. Enjoy it while it’s here. And no more can you sing me that song. So there.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, I think at 24 it no longer means that I get to do whatever I want on my birthday. That is, until Elijah is old enough to understand he must bend to my every whim and desire on this most sacred of days…
