They say it's your birthday...

...and they would be right.
Add ten years to the photo in the corner (squint hard)
to see me as I am now, age 56.

Tonight there will be large quantities of wings and beer.
I already bought myself a large bottle of the perfume
I wear... Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel... my birthday
present to myself.

I'm glad I made it this far. Looking forward to much more.

    Happy Happy!! I'm a March baby, too, the 26th. And it's all a matter of how old you are in your head -- me, I'm still 27, though that particular birthday is LOOOOOOOOOONG GONE!!

    Hope you had a great one, you deserve it!!

    Just came across your Blog through Moxie.

    Happy Birthday!!!!

    I think you are amazing just for admitting your age.
    There is too much stress on youth.

    But apparantly you do not look your age, nor does it hinder your Blog from Traffic. You have gobs!!

    I have been writing very infrequently lately, and my traffic, when I once had it, did not have 27 comments!
