I had one of those moments this morning. It's my beloved spouse's birthday so I got up early to make him a special breakfast. Now, I know how old he is today. And I know there's a four year difference between his age and mine. But this morning the numbers didn't work. Somehow we were five years apart. It seems when I had my birthday earlier this month, I'd managed not to click the magic clicker in my head. The birthday had come and gone but my age had stayed the same. What a shock this morning to realize I was a year older.
I don't care. I've had a coffee mug for years (given to me by my co-workers) that reads: "I may be getting older but I refuse to grow up." Works for me. How about you?
Off to my planting.
Happy Birthday, honey.

Groaner of the Day: This woman ordered an exotic snake through a mail order operation. When the package arrived, there were only feathery necklaces in the box.
Apparently, the boa cons tricked her.

Happy Birthday to your hubby.
Love the groaner.
Happy birthday to your hubby!
I do forget--every time I go out and do something strenuous. LOL. In my mind, I'll always be 25.
What kind of celebration do you have planned for hubby?
Oh, that has happened to me so many times! I'm still not used to the young folks calling me ma'am. I generally do forget my age, but I've been looking forward to being 55, and I'm enjoying it. At least my 14 year-old son doesn't see me as old. He'll still wrestle me to the floor if we're rough housing.
I prefer to think of myself as being in my very late 30's--as Garrison Keillor would say. Happy Birthday and Hugs to The Polish One!!
Loved the groaner!!

Dru - Passed along your birthday wish and he said to say thank you.
Yeah, that groaner was short but sweet.
Maria - He said to say thank you to you as well.
My mind is older than yours. It's stuck at 35. (A long, long way from the number on my driver's license.)
Not a big celebration. Elder son drove up from Cincinnati today and took him to lunch. I've got his favorite cake in the oven. And younger son and family are coming by later to help him eat it.
Shellie - I've gotten up to give my seat to a little old lady on the bus and realized she's probably the same age as me. LOL
I've got grandkids wrestling me to the floor.
Karin - Very, very, late 30s. You and me both. :grin:
I'll give him that hug from you.
As my Dad always said, "Age is just a number."
Happy Birthday!
Liz - Agreed. Although, in my case, it's getting to be a really BIG number. :grin:
