birthday max
Wow I just survived another birthday. Who even knew I would live this long? Listen I did not even think I was going to live to see the millenium I remember being a little kid in school and my teacher saying "you will all live to see the millenium isn't that exciting?" But I did that math and thought Oh who cares I will be too old to appreciate any dumb old millenium then.
On the bright side everyone looks old when you are 7 and I did appreciate the dumb old millenium though maybe for the wrong reasons. Also that was a pretty optimistic teacher because I doubt everyone in that room made it through their teenage years. The teenage years seem to be a survival test not everyone makes it through alive. I wonder how I did. I wonder how most of the teenagers I knew did. Because we sure tempted fate.
But here I am another year older. Age is really starting to look scary to me too because I am watching it take a big chunk out of the dogs. Thyroid medicine. Hip medicine. Knee medicine. More hip medicine. More knee medicine. Skin medicine. Eye medicine. More eye medicine. Ear medicine. Heart medicine. Flea medicine. Cholesterol fighting special diet food. Fat fighting special diet food. . . .
I have decided you can pretty much gage someone's age by looking in their medicine cabinet and at the rate we are going here, the dogs have three packed shelves now and are bucking for shelf number four any day now.
I on the other hand have Ibuprofen, pills they make me take before I visit the dentist, and a nice eye cream in my corner. So I am not doing too bad I guess. Unless you count the collection of ace bandages, knee braces, and tape in the all about knees closet but my knees were already on the way out when I was seven so I figure that does not count.
[Also I can put a knee back together with a gum wrapper and rubber band that will last a week in France so if this writing thing does not work out I figure I have a real career ahead of me in sports medicine you only have to get one dumb guy down forty yards a few times in sports medicine ooh la la.]
I got the funniest card I have ever seen too. "Amish Road Rage." This card just cracks me up. It is all these Amish guys in buggies shaking their fists at each other yelling "Step on it Yoder!" "Go raise a barn!" I was so cracked up by that card. [Thank you Bruce.] And a TIARA AND MAGIC WAND! I wore those too and I did not think Seattle would exactly be ready for magic wands and tiaras they are still confused by my shoes around here but apparently a magic wand and tiara are not as confusing as Nobox or unusual to Seattle-ites on Fat Tuesday they are Mardis Gras trained here who knew?
Love and Kisses,
Your
Tiaras Are All Good Adams Girl
