Happy Birthday!
I love this guy. I love him more than words can express. It seems very fitting for such a happily co-dependent couple to have birthdays that are just one day apart. We can turn our individual birthdays into one big two-day BIRTHDAYs FEST. Lucky us! But really, lucky me for finding the one person who […]

Today’s the Day!!!
I.am.40. No longer in my 30’s. A long way from my 20’s. And apparently, I’m still alive and kicking. The biggest change, so far, has been editing my blog from this: To this: Happy birthday to me!
