Today is birthday number 49 as I was reminded when I logged onto Facebook this morning. Actually I remembered all along that Wednesday was the big day, for a change. A couple good friends called and scheduled lunches--Eve and I went yesterday for awesome bbq and Patti and I are going tomorrow to see the new George Clooney movie. Rod and I will do our traditional dinner at Carrabbas...although we did not make a date. Some years my birthday sneaks up on me--Rod walks in after work with flowers as I wonder what the special occasion is...and then I scramble to do the math. Just how old am I anyway?
This year was different. I have been thinking that the big 50 is looming ever nearer on the horizon. I do the math again and again, but, it hasn't changed. How in the world did I get this OLD?! But I guess that is the good news--I think this middle age thing is great. It's good to not feel it--except on certain rainy mornings or after a tough day of soapmaking or gardening. I've still got my health, right?! LOL
One year it is gonna hit me I suppose. But not now. Let it be when I am REALLY old--like 60 something...or even 80 something. :)
