SPT – 42

1. The best birthday gift was Big Daddy getting offered a temporary contract position…that pays him money.
2. 2nd best? Ritter bars
3. I thought it was nice of Big Daddy to take the day off of work to spend my birthday with me.
4. I am still younger than all my siblings.
5. My Dad still calls me his baby.
6. When my Mom was 42 she was a grandma.
7. I don’t think I will be a grandma by the time I am 52, maybe by 62.
8. I will be 57 when Ham graduates from High School…holy crap
9. I hope to have Ham potty trained before I start wearing diapers myself.
10. I have been debating about not coloring my hair anymore. I love gray hair, but I really don’t want to be mistaken for Ham’s Grandma.
11. I have age spots on my hands…and I kind of like them.
12. Botox? I would do it in a moment to get rid of the scowl wrinkle in my forehead
13. I would also like a boob lift
14. And maybe a tummy tuck
15. Or maybe a full body lift.
16. But not liposuction.
17. I am beginning to be able to forecast the weather by my knee and ankle.
18. My right knee feels about 100 years older than the rest of me.
19. When I watch my old dog struggle to get up I know how he feels.
20. I have almost given up wearing high heels because I am in too much pain the next day.
21. I love wearing high heels.
22. But not more than wearing flip flops.
23. Even my slippers are flip flops.
24. I like bling.
25. I am going to be one of THOSE old ladies.
26. I even wear a toe ring…all the time.
27. I recently had nails put on again.
28. I wish I could find someone that does them as well as the person who did them a few years ago.
29. I have never had a pedicure.
30. I hate having my feet touched.
31. And I hate it when anyone touches me with their feet.
32. I like wearing fun colors on my toe nails. (right now they are teal)
33. I eat a little bit of chocolate everyday.
34. Some days it is a lot.
35. I found myself wandering around Wal-Mart the other day…just for fun.
36. I was scared.
37. I do like to wander around Costco.
38. And Target.
39. And World Market.
40. One of my favorite ways to spend my day is cuddled up in bed with a book.
41. And a Dr Pepper.
42. I have read over 42 books in the last year, closer to 50.
