This has been THE week of firsts for me. I am utterly spent (and over the moon) and it’s only Thursday! Some were bucket-list “type” items (as in I’ve always wanted to do them but I won’t die if I don’t) and some were just fun happenstances! My firsts this week (in no particular order):
- First time at The Club (Have always wanted to go. Done!)
- First time seeing all of the Birmingham city lights from atop Red Mountain (not necessarily always wanted to, but that was just because I didn’t know what I was missing. I fell in love with her all over again tonight).
- First time meeting Joe Lockett. Thank you Comedienne Joy!
- First time getting a turkey in bowling, and then a hambone! (4 strikes in a row)
- First time taking a bathing suit selfie (Not something I EVER wanted to do, especially at my current size, but somehow found the courage and it was extremely liberating – blog post coming!).
- First time seeing commercial-grade fireworks being set up (have always wanted to see that!).
- First time being THISCLOSE to fireworks. It seriously moved me; it was so majestic and powerful.
- First time seeing the International Space Station fly over! (Wanted to? Definitely!) “How will I know where it is?” “It will be MOVING ACROSS THE SKY, DINGBAT!”
- First time being adopted as a pet.
- First time I didn’t cry at my annual GYN exam. (I can’t help it, I just do. But not this time, suckas! Only took 20 years!)
There are more firsts to come, too – the Bloganista mini-con this weekend will be my first blogging conference! I am IN IT TO WIN IT this year, folks. Watch out…this girl is on fire!

how’d you manage that fireworks thing? That sounds so cool!
The Club (mentioned above) will do fireworks for some events hosted there. You’re high on the mountain and the fireworks are shot from below so they are VERY close when they shoot them. If you ever get the chance, do it! 🙂
