...ouch

Well Monday was my birthday.  #34.  I don't really have problems dealing with getting older.  Some people hate to say how old they really are, or hate birthdays.  I don't get it.  To each their own, I suppose.  But for me, it's just another year.  Time to look back on what I did, ha, or didn't do.....and look to the new year and see what it has in store for me.  And a reason to have a party.

"They" say you are only as old as you feel.  I get that.  Maybe that's why I don't mind getting older.  I certainly am not in any remote way in the same shape as I was when I was in high school or college.  For obvious reasons too.  I am not playing sports everyday.  I don't have a coach breathing down my neck or checking on my progress of things day in and day out.  I played 3 sports all four years in high school and in college I played 2 sports all four years.  Thats a lot of coached practices and games. 

And it's easy for me to figure out where I went downhill. I know what happened.  I graduated.  12 years ago!

I know, I know....it's up to me to be my own coach.  I can make plenty of excuses as to why I can't be as dedicated to myself as I used to be.  I got married.  I had a baby.  I moved.  I had another baby. I moved again. I lost loved ones.  I've had my share of heartbreak.  I have two bad knees. 

blah blah blah.

Anyways, I recently joined a gym in hopes of getting myself back on track.  I also joined a softball league.  It may be an over 30 girls only league, but I made a committment to something that's for me.

As for my birthday day, I got my wisdom teeth out "and two bonus ones" as my aunt said, for a total of 6 teeth.  It's only a matter of time before I get sick of ice cream (*gasp*) and applesauce. 

Oh and for my breakfast loving friends, I even broke down and had scrambled eggs - after 10am.

But the real celebration for my birthday is this coming Friday, when my husband is taking me and my good friends into Boston for a fun night...so let's keep those fingers crossed that all goes well and I get to enjoy it!
