Another Year Older....And Mostly Ramblings.......

Monday morning I got dressed, put on an adorable and colorful pair of socks that my daughter bought me that said, " It's my birthday today, I'm 29 again"......It was my birthday, I was not 29.....But that was sweet and I think I'll wear them again next year. ....I also think that next year I'll pretend that I was born on leap year....
That's all I'll say about the age thing....

It was a beautiful day, no coat needed and short sleeves worked out perfectly...
I spent the afternoon with my daughter and had a wonderful time (I always do...I really like this girl), we laughed (mostly at me) and had a great lunch at one of our favorites... Douceur de France.....I finished my lunch off with this.....And YES....It was worth it!!!!



We finished the night eating supper at Poppy's, a great Cuban restaurant...


This year has made me think about life differently, and question a few things...Am I to old to start new adventures, should I stick with what I know...Some things are certain


I've got to stop being shocked every time I pluck enough gray hairs from my eyebrows and head to make a toupee....(This happens way too often, and each time I am in awe).


At what point did baby oil and iodine sound like the perfect tanning oil to use while laying directly under the ozone layer on a shinny silver blanket called Even-Up...(If anyone remembers these tanning blankets, chances are you were using the same lotion as me..) This year there will be a giant increase in SPF




Why do I keep buying wrinkle creams that swear to make you look ten years younger, when what I really need is plaster of Paris...



When will I realize that I'll never be a size 6......Ever...



And jeans that make your bottom look smaller, don't do anything for your thighs....

There will always be relationships that I look back on....And throw up a little in my mouth when I think about them...(Still thinking and a little nausea's )

There are friends I never want to be without...The ones you know have your back no matter what...The ones that know every little stinking detail about you....And still they love

And the friends I miss...The ones that I've lost touch with and wonder how it happened...

And last but not least......Someone my age cannot eat Cuban at 8:30 at night......No way, No How..

Thankful and Blessed for another year of Life

What a great post - Happy Birthday! I started drawing Social Security in December, having turned 62 in October. And do I mind being 62? Not at all. Do I look 62? Don't care. Do I want to be 30 again? Nope.

What a great day you had with your daughter. Happy birthday. It was great weather over the weekend wasn't it? Did you go to the Poppy's by Town Center? I live near there and eat there myself.

I too think just like you - it is like we are in the land between being young and old and we are having to find our way - growing old is not for sissies.

Happy Birthday

Hope you enjoyed your birthday! Sounds like so much fun. Your plaster of Paris comment made me giggle :)

Happy Birthday. Glad your day was joyous. And I do see some ladies that look like they used plaster of paris. One thing about getting older is you learn to live each day and enjoy.

I've been thinking a lot about all of this -- turn 60 in the summer, and I think I'm too young to be 60. The eyebrow thing is getting to me, that wattle that is under my chin, and I still wonder where my cute little waist went. Happy, happy birthday and wishes for a wonderful year.
P.S. Your blog looks great.

That's not true! We didn't laugh mostly at you! Remember the corner display that jumped in my way?! I'm still carrying the bruise from that one!
