Soooooooo..............
I had my birthday yesterday.
ya ya ya....I don't normally celebrate my birthdays. I HATE to, actually. It's something that I dread every year.
But I've done some thinking on this subject and this is the conclusion that I've come to.
I AM going to celebrate from now on!
There was a time in my life when I thought I wouldn't make it to age 20, so to make it to age 29...cough cough...is a pretty big accomplishment! No, to be 48 is a big deal.
I remember being a teenager and thinking, (God! 48 is OLD as dirt!) well, it really isn't! I still feel young...I try to keep up on my appearance so I don't look like an old hag...at least not all the time!! I can still get around, I still have my health, despite some scares the past few years. so, why shouldn't I celebrate??
When my mom died, that first birthday after her death was a rough one, to say the least. Each year, it gets just a little bit easier. My mom and I didn't have the best relationship, but it was ok at the end. I could hug her and tell her that I loved her and she could do the same to me.
So from now on, I will be celebrating my birthday...and I expect to get cards and lots and lots of gifts!!! ha!
So, the husband took me away for the weekend!! It was sorta for my birthday and sorta not, but I pretended it was all about me! We went to a fund raiser for a fellow trooper with stage 4 brain cancer. Now, y'all know how much I LOVE to go to trooper functions, right? well, this one wasn't too bad. We had a really good time together and with 2 other couples. And we might actually be taking ballroom dancing lessons because of this! Crazy, I know!
So then we stayed in a sweet hotel and the next day did some Christmas shopping at a big huge mall. It was fun having him all to myself and we laughed and had a great time together. Nice, huh? :)))
So, in a couple years, when I turn the big FIVE OH, I want to have a HUGE blowout Blogger party!!! Wouldn't it be a blast to all get together in a central location and party our butts off? Can I get an AMEN?????!

AMEN! I'll be 50 the same year as you will (only I'm in January). We'll have a twofer!
Happy belated and isn't Ohio central enough..? If folks can't get there it means they live across an ocean..!
Happy Belated Birthday! I'm right behind you--I turn 29, uhm, 48 in March. I think Ohio works!
Ohio???OHIO???? well....there are some NICE parts of Ohio...I just don't live in one of them! But I suppose we could do Cleveland. Hey, Cleveland rocks!!! Cleveland is about an hour from me. I live in the ghetto...ya do NOT want to come here. Unless drive-bys, hookers and drug deals are your kind of thing. seriously.
Im serious. There was a drive by last night, shots fired....about a mile from me. and there was a crack house 2 houses down fromme. Empty now tho. in fact, there are LOTS of abandoned houses around me.
Ok, I didn't mean to write a book. :)
Amen! I'm so there! Wherever the party is...
Amen! I'm so there! Wherever the party is...
