The Big Five-O and no Steve McGarrett.

Oh my God. I'm Fifty

Until reading the birthday post about his turning 49 years old, from gardenboy321 I was not in a good mood.

This morning I was awake watching the numbers tick off the clock.
I knew August 2nd would arrive. I was going to let it come and go.
No big deal.


Look Barrack Obama, Tom Cruise, and Jon Bonjovi are fifty.
But then, they are Barrack Obama, Tom Cruise and Jon Bonjovi!


Yes, I know the exact time I was born. And that today was also the same day of the week as on that date.
But it's just a number...It's just a big number.
At work, boy-me was thinking have I achieved enough fiscally?
While girl-me was thinking am I still o.k. physically?


When the clock hit 1:16PM, I was standing outside waiting for a bolt of lightning and a message from the clouds.
YOU HAVE NOT MEASURED UP! TURN IN YOUR WIGS AND HIGH HEELS!


Then a few people I work with, walking out, asked if they could take me to birthday lunch?
Guess where we went? Yep! Chick-Fil-A!
Today the line was out the door, not as bad as August 1st,
but the same pain in the ass wing-nut crowd.
Thankfully we went to Papa Johns.


I'm sitting there, listening to accolades, and birthday talk, when out came the birthday pizza.
And it hit me all at once, OH MY GOD I'M 50!!!


Well boy-me was cool, enjoyed the lunch and went back to work.
Girl-Me was on needles and pins about my 9PM date.
Do I sound different? Should I go from 5" heels to 4"heels? Should I stop with the dangly ear rings?


This is half time. The part where the coach leaving the field is asked what he has planned for the second half?
I'll let you know as I go along.
As for gardenboy321 he looks damn good at 49! Keep doing what you are doing. No need to fear 50.

Still Alex O'Loughlin from FIVE-O might show up at my front door, fly me out to the big island.
And give me special "Take Out and Hot Delivery"
I mean a girl can dream....can't she?

Heh, I can dig it.

It just happened to me recently, too, but I'm not quite sure how.

Happy birthday.

Elevate me...

Personality can determine your mindset at fifty, but health will determine whether you feel younger than you look.

For me, it's all about how I feel, moreso than how I look.

I was much more vain when I was in my twenties.
