What? Another one?

So that was that. Another birthday.

Sigh.

The alternative is not so great....

I've scheduled this post and I'm assuming I woke up this morning and the world didn't end during the night. Any day that I wake-up is a great day and I get another chance......at being funny of course! If the world ended during the night, none of us would giving a flying flip about this post now would we?


Someone asked me if it was a milestone birthday. I wanted to snarkily respond "Yes. I'm thirty you Doofus" or "so what milestone did you have in mind?" but I took a breath and told him "No milestone. I'm leaning on the back end of the same decade you're in, Buddy!"

I know. That's all I could come up with at the moment.

Some people do not engage brain before mouth.

Another guy in the gym calls me "Old Timer". I'm sure it's because I've been around this gym forever not because I'm old.

Yeah. I'm a little naive sometimes.

He wanted to know my age to determine if he needed to add "Old" to my nickname. I told him that I was still younger than him so to shut the eff up.

Just kidding. I didn't really say it quite that way.

Come closer and I'll tell you how old I am.

Closer.

Just a wee bit closer.

OK.

2F

That's right. Only a geek would report her age in Hexadecimal. My real age is somewhere within this post. Twice.

Mom got me a small cake with balloons on it. She still thinks I'm just a young'n.

My SIL made me some soaps. They are well made so they won't be appearing on Julia D's Homemade Hilarity blog!

Look at those silly kitties plotting the demise of my new soap.
Aren't you convinced that cats are 47 evil?

My friend gave me a candle and shared her lunch with me. YUM! That candle was very tasty!

Hubby got me a cool book. I'm very excited because I just realized that I can still read something that is not on a computer screen!

As for celebrations, I had to work last night so tonight we will do a dinner out with some friends and share a bottle of wine. Sorry guys, no dancing nekid on the table this time (I don't want to break my hip you know) and if you have the pictures from last time, SHAME ON YOU! I paid you off. Now destroy the negatives already!

I also want to thank Tracy at Rambling Thoughts of the Never Ending Mind for giving me an early birthday prezzie last week. She must know how much I like lemons.


Now if I can just get it open and get those lemons out and get some of you started squeezing them, I'll be in good shape to make my next batch of lemon cookies. As for passing it on, if you want it, it's yours. Just send me a sample of what you made with the lemons.


Speaking of lemons, WTF is this?



Is it a tutu that vomited a tutu and then vomited yet another one?

I'll leave you with a little song (just in case you have not figured out the age thing yet):

100 bottles of beer on the wall, 100 bottles of beer.
Take one down, pass it around, 99 bottles of beer on the wall.

99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer.
Take one down, pass it around, 98 bottles of beer on the wall.
.......
47 bottles of beer on the wall, 47 bottles of beer.
Take one down, pass it around, 46 bottles of beer on the wall.
.......

Yeah. That's right. I'm going backwards. I'll be 46 next year.
