I&#8217;m almost 35. w00t. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m &#8220;suffering&#8221; from any sense of doom and gloom at being one year closer to death. Or maybe I am. I don&#8217;t know, 35 isn&#8217;t *that* old. At least I don&#8217;t think of myself as old. Evidently I don&#8217;t look it according to all the times I&#8217;ve been carded or faced stunned looks of disbelief when people find out I have an almost-15 year old daughter. That amuses me at least.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway as I said I don&#8217;t feel old. And I shouldnt either. Because 35 is not old. I&#8217;m not just saying that either. Or maybe I am. Maybe if I say it often enough it will become true. 35 isn&#8217;t old. 35 isn&#8217;t old. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Ok enough maudlin moping. I actually had a lovely weekend last week with Gary down and time spent with my new family. I discovered I still can&#8217;t drink wine or coffee. My cousin is wonderfully talented with pretty much any instrument you throw at him. My other cousin is just a joy to be around. My aunt and uncle are fabulous. Swi is hilarious. &#8220;Happy Birthday&#8221; should be sung loudly, by many people and completely off-key every time. And Gary is becoming less like &#8220;Gary&#8221; and more like my Dad.<\/p>\n<p>So yeah, a good time was had. I haven&#8217;t got any special plans for this weekend, other than maybe doing some spring cleaning. I might take the kid out for dinner tomorrow night. But I do have a bit of a backlog of Netflix and Sopranos I have to catch up on.<\/p>\n<p>There. Birthday blog complete \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well.
