My last night as a 30 something...
Boy, am I a lightweight.. I'm on my second Amstel light (already feeling it) listening to an 80's CD that my neice Jessica (aka anonymous blogging woman) made me and making my very famous chicken parmesan for dinner. It doesn't get any better than this!
Got a b-day card from my good friend Mrs. W (aka Norma) and a lovely package from Jess (I'll be sure to take a tubby!) and a card from my friend Selena who lives up here in the White Moutains and became one of my saviors while I lived up here. She is the local librarian and I would walk in and she would just hand me a stack of books and say "read them". She is one of the funniest people I have ever met and I treasure our friendship.
I guess I'm feeling nostalgic about entering a new decade (my 5th decade to be exact..) but I'm not in the least dreading it. I like myself much better at just about 40 than I did in my tumultuous 20's and even in my getting to know me 30's. I'm cool with me. I'm at a good place even though I'm listening to West End Girls right now (thanks, Jess..)
As Warren Zevon said.. Enjoy Every Sandwich. And I plan to!

Happy Birthday, Hon! Can't believe you are now in my decade! It's a great one to be in, so, enjoy! I agree, by the way. I loved you in your teens, twenties and thirties, but you have certianly come into your own as of late!
