My friends 40th......
Current mood: nursing my head......
Category: nursing my head...... Life

Ok, so here it goes.....first of all....I LIED!!!! And I am soooo sorry. Back in Sept. I said I was going to do this on a regular basis. So for those who subscribed to my blog, I do apologize. I have NOT posted another one until now. Not that I haven't had much to talk about, because let's face it, those who know me well, know, I never run out of things to talk about. If I am not, talking, I am either not feeling well, or pissed off about something. Speaking of being peaved about a few things.....just wait till the end of this one!

Anyway, a dear friend of mine Mira Beth, Mira Beth, Mira Beth...lol....just turned 40. She had herself an AWESOME b-day party for herself last night. We got to meet a few of her college girls and some of her family. I SO enjoyed myself. And officially @ 7:00 this morning, I was still feeling the nice effects of that 1800 silver I was parting in too!! Lot's of picture taking, shots, dancing on the island in her kitchen, laughing, shots, more dancing, singing, (I HATE 80's music) but I was singing right along with everyone else. More laughing, joking, hugging, shots. You know how it goes.....see photos!! It was a blast.

But now, comes the time where it is really hitting me. MY AGE!! I turn 38 in a few weeks, and being at this party really opened my eyes to a few things. I remember as a YOUNGER woman, seeing these slightly older women getting together in this same capasity, and thinking.....wow, how cool is this that these women who went to school together, and then have gone and gotten married, had kids and all that, get back together to celebrate times like this with each other. They all join together to celebrate each others lives, and successes. (By the way, if there is any mis-spelling in here, keep in mind it is still early, and my head is still reeling from last night, so no smart-ass remarks!!) It just really did my heart good, and was looking forward to doing that very same thing. Well, here it is......my 20 year reunion is this year.......HOLY SHIT!!!!! I have spent the past couple of months looking forward to doing this. Getting together with the 55 other people that I graduated high school with. Celebrating their lives, and things that they have accomplished. Meeting their families, and just plain catching up. Again, all this is just now hitting me.....

This week, I had the pleasure of a phone call from a friend from school that I have not spoke with in 20 years. I can't even begin to tell you how good it was to visit with him and hear about how he has been doing. Granted, 30 minutes wasn't near enough time. I would love to sit with no time limit with him and Alicia (the wonderful woman in his life) and just be able to catch up.....really catch up. He has done so well for himself, and it was so good to know that. I really like to hear about successes. You see, I joined the Army at the age of 20, and haven't been back home (California) since. I did go back for our 10 year reunion, but I have a feeling ( as I hear from so many people) that your 20 year reunion FAR out does the 10 year. So, seeing these 50 or so people that I grew up with is going to be a major TRIP for me. I mean some of these very same people could be getting ready to retire from one job and starting another. I just can't grasp that!! Nope, just can't.

So anyway, I guess what I am getting at is my life seems to be at a crossroads. The crossroads between, yeah, I'm an adult, but I refuse to completely grow up, and holy shit, am I really getting older? I wonder if this is what the beginning of a mid-life crisis is like. I sure the hell hope not. I don't think I am ready for that!! So again, that got me thinking....I just started this girl band last year. I HOPE TO HELL that it doesn't look like some chicks just trying their hardest to stay young in some way. We really do just love music, and want to play. *sigh*

OK, now it's your turn.....let me know your thoughts....give ME some answers. As I try and get rid of this damn headache......It's going to be a while before I do that again.....I'M GUESSING IN MY OLDER STATE, THAT I CAN'T HANDLE IT LIKE I USE TO!!!! *
*pout**

Come into my world.......sit, relax, and give me your thoughts....

OK, the reason I am starting these blogs is because I subscribe to a few of my friends blogs and they RAWK!!! So, along with wonderful fuzzy thoughts and feelings that I will be blogging, I will have a few bitch's and gripes that you may just find VERY interesting. And may just end up being very theraputic for me as well. So, I am going to invite you into my little part of this world to share my joys, my (few) heart breaks, accomplishments, my loves, my dislikes, and so on. I welcome replies to my blogs anytime, it would be helpful to know that SOMEONE is listening. Though most of the time, I make SURE you are listening, for those of you closest to me, you know exactly what I mean.

So........as I enter the world of blog and cyber therapy........welcome, have a seat, kick off your shoes,(Great Shoes) have a cup of java.....and enjoy...chime in when you want....if we don't agree, that's ok.......that is what is so beautful about relastionships. Yes, I said beautiful.
You will come to find out that I am VERY passionate about my girl friends and how important I believe it is to nuture, and cultivate those relationships that you hold most dear, and even the ones you don't. I will also tell you about my wonderful husband and what a beautilful (not perfect) life I have, and how blessed I am to have this man in my life.
I WILL open my heart about this, and many other things.....I hope to hear from you.
Live it out Loud!!!! TJ
