Happy Birthday... to moi!

I find myself heading down the scale on the other end of my thirties. By the time I finish writing this post, it will probably officially be midnight and yes, I will be 37.

When did this happen?

I know I have joked about my birthday for days now. It's fun to complain and joke and tease about aging. But the truth is - 37 does not sound as young as 36.

Last night (which was Valentine's Day), the egyptian and I were enjoying a little mexican food at a local dive. While eating, I look across at the love of my life and said, "I think I am going to have some friends over tomorrow night for my 37th birthday." I announced this because I did not want to spend my birthday alone. My egyptian has to work tomorrow night.

After this announcement, he proceeds to lower his fork and say, "You will be 37?" I stopped eating and just looked at him. I said, "Yeah - you know this. 37." He begins staring out the window and says.. "Hmph..." and shakes his head.

WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN???

Which brings me back to the whole idea of what a shocker it is to turn 37. Perhaps 38 won't be as bad. Because I will have adjusted to living within the other spectrum of my 30s. 37 versus 32. BIG difference in sounding young. 37 - 28. What do you think of that combo? Well that is what the difference is with my egyptian and I. Luckily, he will turn 29 in April - and that puts him in a different category in my mind. But for now - 37 - 28. HUGE difference.

Just how do I plan to celebrate this birthday? Well, it definitely will not be like year's past. Nope.

I will proudly host an unbirthday party for myself. How do you like that? unbirthday party.
Here are the rules:

1. No balloons
2. No cake
3. No alcohol
4. No happiness
5. No singing of culturally accepted celebration songs.

Yep.... people will just come, and well - sit. Hopefully I will successfully make them all miserable - as miserable as I feel to turn 37.

I told you I am a sweet girl??~!! LOL

Well - enough of that. I am tired now.. best to let the 36th year pass on.
