58 and holding

I got my birthday present early. Dave will be hunting on my birthday, as usual, so he gave me a present early. This is highly unusual. I usually get nothing because he's hunting and I guess I can only have a birthday if he's with me ON my birthday....... I digress.

I GOT A NEW CAMERA FOR MY BIRTHDAY. IT'S SO AWESOME. I CANT WAIT TO TAKE PICTURES............ OF EVERYTHING!!!!!!

I have figured out that my husband will not remember the things that I think are important so I have to tell him what I want- exactly what I want. Then neither of us is stressed. AND we're both happier.

I drew out my age with little lines so my preschoolers could SEE how old I am. They were impressed with my line of 58 marks. Later at snack one of the kids said, "Miss Judy's 81" I guess 81 is a lot just like 58. I can't believe I am almost 60. That's AMAZING to me!!! I plan to enjoy the next 58 years as much as I've enjoyed the last 58 years.

Like is grand!!!

  1. :-) A new camera! That is a HAPPY birthday!

    I started telling J exactly what I wanted pretty much the minute we got married. Sometimes it works, sometimes...
    I agree with you though...it is a win win when no one's disappointed.

    I've appreciated as an adult the graceful way that the women in our family age. What wonderful role models. No lying about numbers, no mourning of passing years. Only joy. I hope I'll be so enthusiastic when I turn 58...or 81!!
