Is this kid cute or what?
Today is my oldest brother's 68th birthday. I'm 42. Yes, that's 26 years between us.
Have you ever ridden in a hot air balloon or a helicopter? Where did you go?
Yes, during the Balloon Fest in Albuquerque. It was for mom's 80th birthday. It was absolutely amazing and I'd recommend it to anyone.
The 15-year-old in my life picked out a CD for my birthday from Paramore. Since I am 42-years-old, I'm pretty sure I had Huh? written all over my face, so her mother explained that said album was selected because I like The Wreckers.
I've listened to it a couple times now and I do like it. Guess you can teach an old dog new music tricks.
Course, I'm guessing that since I used the word "hip" in the title, I am so not.
and it's my birthday . . . With an acute attention to detail, the Virgo is the sign in the zodiac most dedicated to serving. Their deep sense of the humane leads them to caregiving like no other, while their methodical approach to life ensures that nothing is missed. The Virgo is often gentle and delicate, preferring to step back and analyze before moving ahead. Friends and Family A Virgo is a helpful friend to have indeed. They are excellent at giving advice, and they really know how to problem solve. You'll find that a Virgo will remind you to take good care of yourself, as health is a focal point for them. And when the meal is done, they'll be the first to jump up and start the dishes. Loving and dedicated to family, the Virgo is also first on the scene when care is needed. When someon reaches old age or is ill, the Virgo will be there doing all that is needed. The Virgo is not know for showing their feelings. They prefer to show through deed than by word.
"I analyze" is the key phrase for the Virgo personality, while "practicality" is the keyword. Industrious, discriminating, and scientific by nature, the Virgo really knows how to get to the heart of the matter. They are exceptionally methodical and do well in jobs that require organization. If there's anything out of order, set a Virgo to the task!
When focused on a task, the Virgo will push themselves to perfection, leaving no stone unturned. They are exacting and take great pride in a job done to the absolute best of their ability. When they feel their talent falls short, they'll turn to the books to learn whatever they need to improve. Careers suited to this sign include being a doctor, nurse, psychologist, teacher, writer and critic.
Virgos are excellent with their money. They generally keep a strict grasp on what they spend, and strive to put away as much money as they can. They plan well in advance for expenditures, and when it comes to shopping, they aren't apt to overspend. Every now and then the Virgo can be seen buying themselves something of beauty, though. They love the arts and enjoy decorating their homes with taste.
Love and Sex
It's important for the Virgo lover to feel needed by their mates. Outside of the bedroom is where the majority of foreplay is going to happen for this sign. Tactile, methodical and willing to take as long as is needed, they make excellent lovers. Even though the Virgo won't express many words of love, they will show their affections in the bedroom. Virgos prefer to have a few strong connections rather than many partners. Life partners are chosen based on how important and needed the Virgo feels they are in their lives. They are dedicated spouses that love to live on the wild side once and a while.

Silly girl. We're just 41.
I finished off my birthday celebration with a late lunch with my Godson and his family today. Mexican food. Yum.
It's funny how my perception of birthdays has changed over the years. It used to be all about me. All about the presents. Now, not so much. For me now it's about the people I share it with. That, and spreading it out over as many days as I can.
I used to lump everyone I knew together at one whoo-ha. Now everyone gets their own time. I think it's because the people I celebrate with are important to me and with a large group someone gets left out in the fray. I'm proud that the who has become more important than the what.
It's a funny thing moving into your 40s. Suddenly I've fallen into the "29 again?!" category. I was really surprised at how many people inferred that I've reached an age where people stop telling their number.
Why is that? I am 41 and proud of it. I don't look my age. I'm working to improve my health and physical capabilities. Life is good. Those 29-year-olds ain't got nothing on me!
Today mom and I went to the outlet mall in San Marcos. I picked up five skirts, two pairs of pants and four tops for $225. All work wearable. I was really disappointed at what is in "style" these days. There really wasn't much I liked and I only regret leaving one thing behind (an off-white cashmere sweater).
I had a nice day yesterday. A fabulous birthday massage (although I have some tender spots today). Lunch with a new friend ($25 Starbucks gift card!), cupcakes with co-workers, dinner with mom.
It's funny how people start joking about being "29 again" as you grow older. Hell, I'm 41 and proud of it.
I didn't think I would be able to get up for C25K this morning because I porked out at dinner last night. We were invited to a "service night" at Boston's Gourmet Pizza. It included a free appetizer, pizza and dessert. We had potato skins, a florentine pizza, a fabulous chocolate brownie-ice cream dessert, and an appletini (yes, mom too!).
I slept in this morning, but the kids roused me from bed at 8a (I'm taking today and tomorrow as vacation days). I checked the temp and it was 75 degrees, which even 90 minutes after my normal run time was cooler than what I have been out in.
I am happy that I was able to run all the segments. I might even be ready for week two (gasp!).
