you'll get anything with that evil smile

When I signed in I felt like I had something important to say, but I don't.

I can feel the PA regrowth a lot this last week, as I get closer to my next round of Colistin (my third). Interesting yet sucky. Makes it so obvious I NEED the drug, I can't put it off.

I turned 32 yesterday. 32 is weird, Cf aside. I've never minded getting older, even when I wasn't paying too much attention to Cf. I think part of it was I always looked young, and I hated it. It seems funny to me now when I think about how upset that made me. I mean when I was 12 my dad would tell people I was 8 to get me into places for free and no one ever batted an eye. When I was 20 he tried the same move to get me into The Louvre for free. When I was like 14 it was hard to try to get older boys to like me (as every 14 year old girl desires) because I looked 10.

Though it is sad to report that the world of looking younger ended about age 29. Now I rarely get carded. Maybe I get mistaken for 29, but rarely that (what was interesting is I went salsa dancing a few weeks ago with my friend and this boy Salvador was flirting with me (so exciting for an old married gal!), he was about twenty three or four and for some reason he was guessing my age - I think I told him I was married and too old for him - anyway, he guessed it at 27 - which means you know he was trying to be nice without being ridiculous...so 27 seemed kind of old for him to guessing at out of kindness, if that makes sense. Ah, vanity.

I digress, I don't mind birthdays.

Mt step son had a baseball game today, league championship, and they won. Exciting.

My boy has his championship swim meet tomorrow. He is swiiming fly, back, breast, and free. He won't do great, but maybe there is hope he could place in the top 12. (I also thought he could win the triathalon and he was like 56 out of 86, so not near the top. I have moon eyes for the kids). We have to be there at the crack of dawn. bah.

The baby got her first haircut today. She looks so old. (in referene to the earlier portion of this post, she doesn't actually look old at all, she looks about 2.5, her age, she just looks less baby and more kid)

I get a new camera for my brithday - my other one broke after a spill on the ice at Christmas time, so pics soon to follow. Until then, I leave you with Mona.

you look so happy to be getting your picture taken with Mona LOL!!!!!

I hate hearing from older ladies that when I am older I will appreciate looking so young blah blah blah! WHATEVER!!!!!!!! Looking 15 is so not cool when you are in your twenties. At 28 if I buy cigarettes (yes sometimes I do for friends), I still get carded....oy.

Happy Birthday again!!!!

Amy, as I recall it was kind of embarrassing because so many people were taking pics and my dad was like "get up there!" But I think it is a cool picture now.

I remember once I was buying a carton of cigarettes for a friend, and I put the carton on the counter and started having a coughing fit, which made my friend and I start laughiung because we knew it obviously looked like I'd had one too mane smokes, which only made me cough harder. It was hilariously embarrassing!

Nice picture. Mona looks a little crooked.

I get the full range. Some people will still give me the stink eye and then card me, but most don't.
