I got a brand spanking new HP Laptop for the 6th anniversary of my 40th birthday and all the keys work, no reason not to start a blog.
I'm tearing the bedroom apart looking for my notes that I had stated to do this thing. I was nervous to get started already and now I can't find my notes? Crap. My husband leans back in his chair and asks what I'm doing as I'm tearing the bookcase apart. I'm looking for my notes and can't find them as frustration sets in my voice. He says with all the technology I give you with your smart phone, iPad and NEW laptop you used an actual note book? Um, yeah? He's right so I'm now recreating all my ideas using Evernote. Great little tool it turns out, I like it. He says at least I won't lose my laptop. Ah he knows me all to well after 11 years.
I'm just going to tell the world now, that the love of my life is a geek. He comes home from his geek job and tells me about his geek day and my eyes glaze over. I get more of a kick of his 9 yr old protégé.
I just celebrated my 46th birthday and it was the best birthday ever. Say what you want about Facebook but its nice getting all the happy birthday's from friends and family. Even from people that made their way onto your Facebook that you don't really know and probably don't really care but they said happy birthday anyway.
My dear friend Jennifer made a comment on my wall that really made me think. She said I was the only person that she knew that was aging backwards.I never thought of it that way but over the last two years I certainly feel better about the way I look and feel and about life in general. Ok, I'm still 46 but I don't feel it and I don't show it. I'm willing to share my not so secret secrets with anyone that wants to feel this way.
First secret, I found a awesome hairstylist that I will follow to the ends of the earth, she puts the red in Red-Zilla. Love you KIMMY oh, and I lost 80 lbs too. No small task as a middle aged mom but I did it and I will share what I've have learned and the friendships that I've gained from it. My husband now calls me a MILF. I will let you figure that out on your own. How I changed from middle aged overweight wife and mother to the category of MILF? I feel like a rockstar!
So jump on for some good humor and take the ride with me.
