35......

Hard to believe, but I turned 35 today. That sounds incredibly old for some reason. I guess I don't have a problem admitting it though as I feel like I am at my best...physically, emotionally, career, motherhood, relationships...things have never been better (knock on wood). 35 is good....now if I could only just stay here =).
I had a good birthday. Woke up to a poster in the kitchen that Tonya and Bella made wishing me a happy birthday as well as cookies and an i-tunes gift card. Worked a bit...got a dozen roses and a lovely card that made me smile along with them. Being that it was Wednesday, I had a half day off. So I decided to go shopping in honor of my birthday. And shop I did. I decided to stop being cheap for a day (hopefully I won't regret it). I also decided somewhere in the shopping trip that a 35 year old woman shouldn't have a bedroom that looks like a college dormroom and so my remodeling project begins. I bought a few things and am in the thinking stages of buying some more. I'm about to go take some before pictures and hopefully in a week or two will have some afters....we'll see how that goes. I even bought paint this evening after a lovely dinner with my children. I'll leave you with a photo of the girls trying on their dominican spoils and showing me their muscles. I'll have a new layout to show tomorrow...it is for the scrapfaith site.

Happy birthday, old lady...Just kidding, I'm not far behind you. Glad you had a good one! 35 does sound old, doesn't it. I guess it's as old as we make it! Starla

Hrmmmm 35. Guess that means you are "advanced maternal age" if you become pregnant, need mammography if you have a family history of breast cancer...and most importantly, you can no longer smoke cigarrettes and use birth control pills without great risk to your health. Welcome to old age!
Love, Jeannette
