Yes, I turned 36 and I'm proud of it. I have a little gray in my beard, but it's cool, I like the refined look.
But I had a few gems that summed up the B-Day experience.
- One of my students told me that his mom was a year older than me. The other said her mom was two years younger than me. Gotta love high school knock ups.
- My mom was shocked to know that I'm 36, because she doesn't believe she's that old.
- According to a success track, I'm right on target... if it was 1995.
- I got 4 emails about retirement yesterday.
- A friend told me that my beard makes me look like a bear. He asked, will I start wearing flannel and I said "I don't think Ralph Lauren makes flannel".
- After looking at my high school classmates on Facebook, I realized that I'm very, very fortunate.
- I also realized that every guy I'm dated has been 3-7 years younger than me.
- I'll never accept the term "Daddy", unless it's from children.
that's the attitude!
ReplyDeleteI can rock flannel. And um, Ralph Lauren does have flannel:

Thanks, Tony. I stand corrected
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday darling. I wish you many more. Hmmm, is there another amazing hero figurine in your future?
ReplyDeleteHave you ever heard the saying, "Life starts at forty"? There's a lot of truth to it.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind the gray - it's the mottled look it gives. And I don't even mind that so much in real life, but in photographs it makes my beard look messy. My solution: fewer photographs!
ReplyDeleteRE: 4 emails about retiring...
ReplyDeleteI've been receiving notices from AARP and Medicare for years, and I don't turn 40 until October.
LOL @ you beingg on track for 1995.
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday, V!
ReplyDeleteBe proud! You are looking mighty fine for 36 V. Had no idea you were that close to my age; you present a very youthful, vital spirit. A very happy belated b-day to you!
