Ten On Tuesday

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!

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.  
4. I am obsessing over tinsel Christmas trees.  I really want one.  
5. Not as my main tree, just a fun one.
6. I love presents.  I think I should get one every day in December.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. I plan on spending my day with at least most of these:

One hundred thirty-six.  Okay, so the running shoes, not so much today.  I have been using them regularly, though and will hit the gym tomorrow.  The teapot is hot again and the fabric (LOVE!) is turning into a little something special.  I got a little bit of money for my birthday and I think more of that fabric will be making its way to my house.

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...

[pumpkinmama]

Happy birthday!!

[margene]

Woohoo for 47 and woohoo for YOU!!

[Paula]

Happy Birthday! It's a prime one, too.

[Lynn]

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

[Heather]

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.)

[Carla]

Happy Happy Birthday!

[Carole]

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

[Karen]

Happy, happy birthday! Hope you get those presents!

[Manise]

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......

[Kim]

Happy Happy Birthday....I hope it was a good one! 47...you are still a puppy. :) I love how that sock is turning out. :)

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:)

[Jennifer]

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.
