It's my birthday! I am 42!! YAY!
It does not bother me one bit that others know my age; I am not offended when you ask, I love it! I know people who color their hair, 'adjust' their birth-date or leave it off of Facebook, and all I can think is why fight it? Why not enjoy getting older? Did you know that you do more stuff as you get older? That's how I look at it. Of course I am almost the ultimate "glass half full" kind of person you would ever meet.
I like the idea of getting older, I have some goals I want to reach and they happen to be down the road a bit. Like, I will start getting old when I am 82. Yes, I planned it out, and yes I know that sometimes there is no real choice in the matter, but I don't want to be old before then. I want to do what ever I want and not be held back by a "I am too old for that" mentality. want to do stuff before I get old though. I want to play with Barbies again, but this time with granddaughters and they will have to clean the mess up and put them away. That is gonna be fun. I also want to find some fun hiking adventures too. One of those goals is to take a mountain hike on my birthday, THAT will be a blast.
On the flip side I am pretty sure I won't mind being old, I am gonna have a LOT of fun with that one, just ask my kids. I try to pull stuff now and I get the idea that I am not senile enough. I can't wait until I get to say stuff and get to watch the look on my children's faces as they try to recover from whatever I said. I think I should start the list now, so I can add a little "classic" to what I say. I want to do wacky things like wear a bucket on my head and carry around a garden rake and tell everyone I am protecting the castle from dragons. Who couldn't find me adorable after learning that, right?
Well I have a wonderful day planned, involving some cake made for me, kids surrounding me and grand-kids having a blast.
