50 is only 14 in Scrabble
Odd but true facts about my 50th birthday
1. My husband threw me a surprise party, but due
to a blizzard no one was able to attend (not even us). We threw the cupcakes in
the freezer the next day and are hoping the balloons don’t deflate before next
Sunday when the party will hopefully resume.
2. As
I looked at the decorations for the party I noticed that the person who
decorated had made a really neat “over the hill” cake out of depends. It had
trinkets on it such as hemorrhoid cream and other old age remedies and
gadgets. It was very funny but also
disturbing as I realized that I already own or use many of the items on the
cake.
3. My
husband gave me a card addressed to his Senior Citizen Pal.
4. Hubs
called me on the way to work and sang “Some kind of wonderful” to me in its
entirety – trouble is…I was in the shower and Hannah intercepted the call.
5. At
Walgreens today the clerk asked if I was 55 or older. I wanted to punch her but decided my fragile
bones might break! When I told her no, but in fact, today was my 50th
birthday she congratulated me on being an Aquarian! Alas, it has taken 50 years for someone to
congratulate me on my Zodiac placement! Apparently, according to the clerk,
those that are born under the sign of water are to be respected. And I was under the impression that those
under water needed to be “resuscitated”!
Hmm, never too old to learn I guess! She asked Hannah for her birthdate
and then informed her she was a Gemini.
Hannah left confused and I left humming Age of Aquarius in my head all day”!
6. In
honor of my “no white foods” diet I made “brownies” to celebrate the occasion.
Awesome and true facts about my 50th
birthday
1. All
of my hubs efforts to celebrate me made me feel incredibly special – I just
love my senior citizen pal!
2. My
boys called me up on the phone to pay their respects, er, um, to say happy
birthday – one of them even did a photo collage tribute to me on Facebook.
Perhaps I should make him some brownies or whiteys!
3. I
got flowers from Spark and my in-laws – nothing better than that on a snowy
cold day.
4. My
sister called and sang Happy Birthday to me – something I can always count on.
5. So
many Facebook greetings, text messages and emails from friends I can’t even
count them! Sure makes this old lady feel special, and mathematically challenged!
Thus far – 50 ain’t
so bad!
Psalm 71:18
Even when I am old
and gray, do not forsake me, O God, till I declare your power to the next
generation, your might to all who are to come.
