1 December 2008

Well, it’s 3:33 a.m. the morning of my 47th birthday! WoW! Ten years ago I sure wasn’t positive I’d make it this far – but here I am, so I guess I did!

My brain still thinks it’s somewhere between 17 and 27, and my body thinks it’s about 87, so if I have any working math cells left in my overwrought brain, and I average the two extremes I should come up with a number somewhere near 47 – which makes me just about right! – Sort of!

Fon has gone back to NC and we won’t see her again until just before the wedding. We are all sad about that! And not just because we have a million things to do between now and then, either! Planning a wedding is hard enough – but planning a wedding when each of the participants are on the opposite sides of a continent is even a little more daunting than usual!

Sometimes you meet people that you just instantly connect with and the three of us girls REALLY connected with Fon. We just love her to pieces already! Jamee made me a grilled cheese and turkey sandwich tonight for dinner and sighed, “I sure wish Fon was here so she could make some more of that noodle stuff she made last night.” Her mind was talking food, but our hearts where talking sad!

As usual, I still hadn’t gone to bed yet when the clock chimed in at midnight. I also had two instant messages going and my facebook page open, so I got four happy birthday wishes all at once. My cousin Annette stayed up just for the occasion and is claiming the winning spot, so the others will have to debate with her about that one!

Neopets even wished me a happy birthday! I got sucked into that website because Julia wanted a Neopet and I didn’t want her on something I wasn’t familiar with, so Jamee and I joined too – and now we’re all addicts! Some of the games are really fun, and I now have over 800,000 neopoints saved in the neopian bank!!! It makes me feel a little better knowing that in some bank somewhere out there in cyberspace I actually have a positive balance! Eight hundred thousand positives!!! Sigh!

I am happy, I am loved, and I am excited about the upcoming year – I just LOVE this time of the year!
