On Days like today...

... I feel old.

Today, my little sister... almost 9 years younger than me... turns 18!! I can't believe it, I can remember the day she was born.

But before that, I can remember when my mom told us she was pregnant... I remember coming up with a long list of names... not sure why I remember that, but I do...

Today, 18 years ago, my brother and I didn't have school for whatever reason and we were at my grandparents house. She wasn't suppose to be born for another month, so you can imagine the surprise when my Grandma told us that my mom would be having her that day. I remember visiting her and my mom in the hospital...

And today she is 18... she's "legal," she can vote and buy lottery tickets... get piercings and tattoos... buy cigarettes and porn... oh the things you can do when you turn 18. I'm proud of her and I'm lucky to have her as my little sister. She's funny and interesting and adorable. She's got attitude, but if she didn't she wouldn't be Lindsey.

Lindsey, I love you... the happiest birthday to you.
