Today is my birthday - boatloads of people over on FB have told me so. So I woke up in the middle of the night and do what midle aged people do went to the bathroom. I thought to myself - 30 Freakin 8. (Yes I don't even cuss when I talk to myself.) But then I started to wake up a bit and I thought wait I was born in '73 and this is 2010 so that's only 37. Wow 37 - that's young. That is the new 27! I have lots of life left. And at that moment, I realized that is pretty much how I look at my whole life. 37 is good because I could be 38.
I spent the next two hours from 1am to 3am, thinking about all my problems and then finding the bright side. Not married - ah no dirty socks to pick up. Small house - ah less to clean! Old car - ah low insurance! Rambunctious child - ah happy and healthy!
Speaking of child, Is she not the most adorable girl you have seen? Oh and I spent the rest of my awake time picking out birthday gifts for myself on Etsy. I can always spend time there finding great stuff.
Happy Birthday indeed!
