BIRTHDAY TIME!!

My birthday is coming!!!  34 days to my 34th bday!! (a little off since I wrote this a few days ago…) WOO HOO!!  Some people dread getting older or at least the onset of sagging skin, memory loss and arthritis.  I see the aging changes in my skin, my lack of memory and the arthritis I’ve had for 14 years, so 34 is just another year of life and wisdom.  I wouldn’t go backwards for anything.

The last of the party lifestyle
30th bday
My birthday is a big deal for the sheer fact that I was told that 12 would be my dying age.  At 12 I said, “I will to live to be 30.”  When 30 came and I was drunk and high, literally.  I was inside a club in SF dancing with my best friend without a care in the world.    I was oblivious to the fact that I had reached 30.  It wasn’t until 2 days later that I had an epiphany that I wasn’t dead and wasn’t going to die anytime soon.  It’s taken 4 years to get over my party lifestyle and get onto the straighten arrow.

So here I am, a changed and changing person, for the better, ready to celebrate the next stage in my life…ADULTHOOD.
