It's My Party ....

Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional. ~Chili Davis

Happy birthday to me. I realized yesterday (after I used a calculator to figure out how old I was... yes, really. After awhile I think age just doesn't matter any more and I really couldn't remember how old I was! LOL...) that I was going to be 44 on 1/11/11.

Four four on one one one one one.

I really thought that was cool.

It doesn't seem that I should be this age.

I'm not upset or demoralized at being 44 ... I'm not going to hide my age (though I do admit to coloring the gray out of my hair). Who cares how old I am?

Still, I always think I'm going to look in the mirror and see me at 19. It doesn't happen, and I'm often surprised when I look and see me at this age. "Really? How did that happen?"

This is my sister and me from a few years ago.

I graduated high school twenty-seven years ago. I'll be married fourteen years this year. My daughter will be twelve in April. All these things remind me that I'm not a young chick.

But I still feel like on one the inside!

So, happy birthday to me. I am who I am...



I'm also blogging at the Marianne's blog today (All Day, All Night) if you'd like to swing by.

You Are a Guru

Spiritual and thoughtful, you tend to take a step back from the world. You're very sensitive to what's going on around you, yet you remain calm. Although you are brilliant, it may take you a while to find your niche. Your creativity is supreme, but it sometimes makes it hard for you to get things done. Your strength: Your inner peace Your weakness: You get stuck in the clouds Your power color: Emerald Your power symbol: Leaf Your power month: November

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Yanno, I have to disagree with about 75% of what this says ...
