I’ve got the blues…

I’m turning the ripe old age of 39 this Wednesday and it’s freaking me out. I remember this happening to me a decade ago when I was turning 29, so apparently the end-of-decade birthdays trigger something in me. There’s the common saying, “40 is the new 30″, but I have a feeling this was coined by someone in their 40’s trying to make themselves feel better. I will admit that I definitely have my act more together now than when I was 29. I think it is more just the simple fact that time has passed so quickly and I wish I could apply the brakes. I used to think people my age were, well, middle aged. I don’t feel “middle” now…especially as it implies that the rest is downhill. I don’t feel old, but saying that I am turning 39 still sounds old to me.

I’m not making sense. I know. I’ll stop now.

I think I suck as a Blogger

I know I should be more diligent about posting…I just haven’t had anything very exciting happen to me since the plane crash. And, to be honest, I’ve been wasting my time on Facebook. I can’t explain it.

Let’s see….what’s been going on?

I got the flu and was down for the count for 4 days with a fever of 102-103. This has since manifested itself into another sinus infection, for which my terrible doctor prescribed the very antibiotic that I am allergic to. I now have a rash all over both ankles. Thanks, doc. You’re fired.

I’ve been super busy at work, and am going to NYC next week for a few days. This means I won’t be home for my birthday.

We’re planning Zoe’s 4th birthday party, and I’m SO excited because her best friend from daycare who moved away to Texas is coming to surprise her (with her Mama, of course).

Anyway, if there is anyone out there still reading this, bear with me. I’ll try to be better at regular postings, and will also try to keep them interesting.
