HOLLA!!!
Today I am 37 29.
My head is spinning at the velocity at which I’m moving closer to 40.
It sucks, but what can you do? It’s better than the alternative.
To celebrate, Rico and I are being selfish and taking off to the beach without the heathens. (smile)
Spring break “Geritol” style.
No cutting anyone’s meat…no wiping anyone’s backporch…no interrupted sleep.
I’m so excited I’ve been packing for a month. You know the older you get, the more stuff you pack….extra glasses (in case my regular glasses break), eye drops (cause I got that weird dry eye thing going on and I’m paranoid I will run out) and my regular medicine (all 5 bottles) and extra medicine in case anyone gets sick…cause I’m always prepared anal like that.
Next thing you know, I’ll be reading Reader’s Digest, telling strangers my bowel habits, and taking care of 15 cats….I’m getting old.
It wasn’t that long ago that packing for a trip to the beach meant only a bikini, a mini skirt and a pair of flip flops.
Now, I take my own pillow.
It’s sad what I’ve become….
However, I’m still young enough to remember to pack the liquor.

I think that you remembered the liquor outweighs that you are taking your own pillow *lol*
Happy Birthday!! I hope you have a great time.

Look at it this way. At least you’re still wiping your own backporch

Yo! Happy Birthday. I should call the local radio station and sing for you. But, since I am so jealous that you are cutting out of town without your children, I might not have it in me. Don’t you shop at SFM Liquor while in the deep south?

Gone are the days of “laying out” on the family room roof at our house, eh, you poor old thing? I’ll spot you the Geritol if you’ll find a glass for my teeth…
Enjoy your vacation from the kids!

I so agree with you on the getting old part-I have to take my own pillow along too. My how growing older changes every little stinking thing!

Dang it! I missed your b-day. I hope it was fabulous. I’m not that far behind you on the rocket ride to 40. Some days I don’t mind it so much, but others it’s kinda hard. It depends on whether or not I’m having a “good face day.” I remember way back when all I had to worry about was whether or not my hair was behaving. Now I have to put my whole body together to try to look even halfway presentable. Ugh!
