Today Is My Birthday, Part 44
Another year has gone by.
I have a few more gray hairs, I’ve probably added to my collection of laugh lines and my freckles? Well…I call ‘em freckles and not AGE SPOTS ‘cuz freckles are way more fun and if anything, I’m chock full o’ fun!!
Speaking of fun, I’ve been having a lot more of it. Life is too short to not have fun.
I didn’t have much fun when I was younger. I was too busy being RESPONSIBLE and MATURE FOR MY AGE.
Bleeeccch. I also worried and planned and observed life instead of living it.
I went out for lunch with a coworker one fine day. He took the top off his convertible and took us the long way back to work. We played a bit of hookey.
It was FUN!
As we got back to work, I said, “That was so much fun. You’re really fun.”
He said, “Wow. Thanks! That is a great compliment.”
He’s in his mid-fifties and walks with a spring in his step and a twinkle in his eye.
I’m gonna follow his example and have lots of fun!
It’s a great way to stay young.

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!
So, ready for those Birthday Spankings?
Having fun is definitely better than not having fun.
Hope it’s been a happy b-day. And what in the smeg were you doing up at 6:00 AM on your birthday?!?!?
HMTKSteve: aaacckk!! You and the Birthday Spankings! That was a popular search string to my blog at one point.
ack: I had a very happy birthday. Delightful! I was not up at 6 am on my birthday…I did a little scheduling for my post!
Happy birthday.
Good job on having fun. I’ve always wanted to be someone that could stay young at heart. I think that’s a great place to be!
OH! Happy Birthday!!!
Glad it was a delightful birthday, however I must say one thing about scheduling the post – That would be cheating.
and it’s not too late for a birthday spanking.
ack: yeesh on all this spanking fixation!!
Happy Birthday Ms. Q…
I’m liking the spin on the freckles. I have to figure out something creative to call my stretch marks.
Glad you are taking steps to have a good time (fun). Life is a lot more pleasant that way.
Hey Ms. Q! Happy really, really late birthday!!!!!! I was so happy to see your comment/see you “back” a little while ago but then I didn’t even answer you! I WASN’T totally ignoring you though. It’s just that I’ve been pecked to death by chickens lately. “Pecked to death by chickens” is my friend’s saying for the “fun” that typically children bring into your life (lice, scratched cornea, fevers, science fair projects, battling unreasonable teachers, etc.).
Only usually they don’t bring all that “nail in the eye fun” (as you would call it) at the same time. Anyway, I’m going to totally answer that comment you left AND catch up on your blog and I am happy there are blog posts to catch up on and that you had fun!!!
I double dog dare you to come have fun at my house lately…kidding!!!!! We’ve still managed to have a little fun changing bluegrass lyrics around to reflect the woes of lice and stuff, but it’s been a TOUGH few weeks for us. But we’re lice-free now and spring break starts THIS AFTERNOON!!!! So I’ll be catching up!!!! Jill
