I'm straying from the topic today because.......
It's my BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
and
it's all about
ME!
Me, me, just me! At least for me it is all about me. If I don't make it all about me, who will? Right? So, ten things about me. And yes, I do realize that this could be the most boring post ev.er!
- I was born in 1962. I am not afraid to say it. 47. It does seem very strange to see it written out like that. Forty-seven. Four. Seven. I don't have any feeling about it at all. Just numb. Almost like it isn't really my age at all.
- Atlantic City is my place of birth. We lived right outside of AC, and moved when I was little, but when we would visit relatives each summer it was a huge treat to go to the boardwalk and get a birch beer.
- When I was eight I fell off my bike and broke both bones in my left leg. A man getting out of his car picked me up and carried me to my parents, telling me not to look down, which of course I did. Bones coming through skin. Not something you want to see. I found out later that the man had a heart condition and wasn't supposed to lift anything.
- I am obsessing over tinsel Christmas trees. I really want one.
- Not as my main tree, just a fun one.
- I love presents. I think I should get one every day in December.
- I love Christmas, but find it harder and harder to find the spirit each year. I listen to the music, decorate, do the gift thing...... "Where are you Christmas? Why can't I find you?" HEH.
- I have decided to be nice to the cats that live in my house. Let me be clear: I have always been a better mother to them than anybody else, I just don't care for them and am probably allergic to them and sort of wish they lived someplace else. I thought if I was nice to them that I might start to love them. It isn't working, but they like me a lot more for whatever that is worth.
- I love jigsaw puzzles and if one is in progress I will stay up too late and ignore everything else I have to do to find "just one" more piece. I love to have a holiday puzzle going and have completed one, but I am leaving it out so that I don't start another one just yet. Things to do, dontcha know.
- I plan on spending my day with at least most of these:
Of course it's all about you!! It should be!!! Happy Birthday and enjoy your day. And your year. And hope you get a present every day of December.
Not that you care - but I'm born in 66 and I'm convinced us girls from the 60's are better than the rest... ;)

Happy Birthday! You think 47 stops you in your tracks, wait till it's 52. That will give you pause...

Happy birthday! And you can't possibly be 47 - seriously?

Happy Birthday! (What a wonderful man who helped you -- and I doubt you were very much weight to carry, so it was a safe bet for him I'm sure. I am glad he was there to help little you.)

Happy Birthday! I love puzzles, too, and I wish we had a place where we could leave one out to work on.

Happy, happy birthday! Hope you get those presents!

Happy Birthday Terry! I love jigsaw puzzles too. We have a ping pong table that I can put one on but it's in the basement and off the beaten path. Haven't done one in years- maybe this will be the year of the puzzles......

Happy birthday! You are celebrating with style. If you like jigsaw puzzles, you should stay for a special weekend at Rabbit Hill Inn. THey specialize in Stave puzzles. I have never met anything more diabolical in all my life, even topping lace.

Happy Birthday!! I've discovered jigsaw puzzles online. All the fun without cluttering up a surface in my house. I'm not telling you where though. I don't want to be blamed for sharing a time suck. You'll have to find them yourself:)

Ahh - Happy Birthday. Great memories. I love the broken bones story (if that's possible). What a gentle soul this man was. I'm glad he was there to help you. Hope you had a fantastic day.
