I signed up for Twitter almost 3 years ago but never saw the point until now. How much fun is it to see instantly what is going on in the world, depending on who you follow? To announce your ever-changing thoughts whenever you feel like it? To post a wonderful quotation that has inspired you at that moment? I may get tired of it sooner rather than later, but for right now I am loving it.
I hope I don't get annoying...

Leigh Day
Today is my birthday. I decided to take the day off, as I have not had my birthday off and to myself in 4 years. My favorite thing to do on mornings off is to sit in my recliner with a tall fast-food coffee, my laptop and with cheesy TV shows on like "A Baby Story" and "Say Yes to the Dress"...so that, I am doing.
I have so many wonderful friends! I have received so many sweet wishes on Facebook and by e-mail and text message, from family, too. You kind of expect it from family but when you hear from so many friends from all different parts of your life, it is very special.
I am 43 years old today and it is hard to believe. In 1981, I was 13 when Natalie Wood drowned at age 43 and I remember thinking it seemed old, even though I knew she was still too young to die. When I was even younger, around 6, a friend's older brother tried to scare his sister and me by saying that Martians were coming in the year 2011 and would blow up the earth. I scoffed along with my friend, even as we stole nervous glances at one another. I went home and did the math and figured that in the year 2011, I would be 43 when the Martians blew up the world. That seemed SO OLD at the time and so far away, and I pushed it to the back of my mind.
So....this is the year.
Somehow, I am not that worried.
I plan to spend the day doing fun things that I enjoy and having a great lunch with my husband, and just enjoying my time off today to be at home and be me. I think that's how everyone should celebrate their special day...just being themselves. I might even have a piece of cake. :)
