It is funny how much changes in a year. A year ago Tim and I were in Dubuque the weekend before by birthday. We stayed in Dubuque, going to Galena and then driving around the area looking at antique stores. I remember it was a rather chilly weekend last year, I thought we would both freeze while on the haunted Galena night trolley tour. We really did enjoy Dubuque have spent the weekend of our wedding there as well. Tim left the Mystic Casino ahead $200, thanks to the Village People nickel slot machine. (I know go figure - the gays pay or at least reward their own ).
I think this of course is why in part I didn't really feel like celebrating the birthday this year. Now in all fairness, after the 40th, I have been sort of blah about my birthday. This year it really felt like any other day. Maybe by my 45th I will feel like celebrating. I have said that either by my 45th or on my
45th birthday, I will have a tattoo. Now said tattoo will be no larger than a half dollar, will be a smiley face and will be on my right shoulder or upper right back area. No bleeding harts or tribal signs, etc., never cared for that at all. Piercing my right ear was my "mid-life crisis" or just a late 38th birthday present to myself. the tattoo by age 45 will mark the close of what ever "mid-life crisis" I may be feeling.
Well not much else to say here regrading my birthday, and my non-celebration, I will part with some sage words (I did use this one before on a friend's birthday card, so yes it does look familiar).
