Here it is, my very last entry....

Well folks, here it is....my last entry ever....

AS A 35 YEAR OLD WOMAN!!!!  LOL....

Tomorrow I will be 36. I'm on the downside of my 30's. I've checked my last 30-35 age-block box on magazine surveys. I started dating my husband when I was 18, which means I've been with him half of my life. 18 years ago I was pregnant and ready to pop with my first child....that seems impossible.

So what, you may ask, am I doing tonight on the eve of this oh-so-festive occasion? Well....I'm writing a journal entry whilst hubby dearest is at the pub with his friends from work, watching a race. LOL. The girls are in Betsy's room listening to music, and I'm waiting for the dryer to stop. You would think I'd be wined and dined tonight....however, it is dh who is noshing on hot wings and beer while I sit here with half a Nestle's crunch bar and ice water. That's okay though....I really don't mind. My desk is cozy with my dragonfly lamp, and my monitor is decorated with a clothespin hula girl and teddy bear that wee one made me earlier today. Betsy is home safe from work....it's all good.

We are having terrible rain here. People are being flooded out of their homes, roads are closed....it's crazy! Thank goodness things here on our street are okay. I've never seen so much rain since we have lived here. In one hour my mom emptied her rain gauge and it had 4 inches in it....I just heard on the news that the rain is supposed to be stopping and it's going to get hot. Mark my words, next week the grass will be crunchy and you won't know this ever happened!

We don't have nay plans for the 4th this year....not that we ever do. No picnic's, no fireworks bought....just relaxing at home. Last year we went to St. Augustine and parked on the outskirts of town. We could see the fireworks really well from there. After all this rain I can only imagine the bugs this year....

Ahhhh, there it is....the incessant buzzing of my dryer. I am off to fold clothes....until tomorrow....

Darn, I was hoping I was going to be one of the first to come and wish you a happy birthday!  I was going to spill the bean if you didn't.  ::sigh:: You beat me.
As for old, you haven't seen old ... hit the 40's and then you can talk!

I should be off folding clothes until tomorrow too... I keep that mountain of clean laundry growing ya know.  It's my ambition in life, to have a mountain of clean unfolded clothes.  If that is all I ever do in life, I have succeeded.  LOL!  Dang, we need a life.
Hugs,
Lisa

Remember that  age is a state of mind and that 50 is the new 40 etc. That means at 36 you're really 26...A mere slip of a girl!! Happy Birthday!!

Today I started my 1st blog and was just surfing around and found yours.  We share a birthday but you have the fortune of being much younger than I, so I thought I'd wish you a happy year!
I have no clue what I am doing but I'm enjoying doing it.   I think I'll go look for that spell check I was hunting down......   Enjoy!
