time marches on

By me • May 20th, 2008 • Category: getting older, today's blog 365 post

I’m starting to finally believe people when they say “but I don’t FEEL old”, only because it’s starting to happen to me. Really, I feel better than I did when I was in my early 20s. I’m better adjusted, happier, and more confident. Sure, my face no longer looks young. And the war on the [...]

Wanna feel really old?
As of yesterday it is completely legal for someone born in the 90’s to buy cigarettes in the state of Michigan.

seeing things

We are completely worn out over here. At least I am, and Marty is more than happy to commiserate with me. Well, that and he’s just a lazy cat that’s huge fan of the nap - anytime, anywhere, anyhow.

One of my birthday presents came with a balloon attached. Personally, I could give or take balloons but the cats are loving it, Marty especially.

I shortened the string so that the balloon floats about 4 feet off the ground - perfect cat jumping distance. But it really isn’t so much the balloon itself that [...]



a trip to the tattoo parlour

What does your stereotypical single woman do on her 29th birthday?
You would think one’s 29th year of life would begin with a last ditch attempt to be young - an orgy of alcohol, sex, and drugs. I like to think that this sort of behavior is actually expected, if not completely sanctioned, by society. [...]

Sara’s Housewarming/29th Birthday party
email me if you would like to come and need directions.

The end of my 20’s is fast approaching. After getting over the shock of this fact I started thinking about what I wanted to do to celebrate. You see, the last few birthdays I’ve had have really sucked. Take a [...]
