The skin on my chest is bugging me lately - close up, it's definitely looking crepey. Other than that, I have no notion what age I look, and, like meara, I have absolutely no idea what any age is officially Supposed to Look Like anymore.
And I was always bemused by other women who replied to me saying I was 30 with "You TELL people that?!?" Well, YEAH. That's my AGE. I just don't understand how to human.
Oh, I remember that. That was irksome.
For the last two years everyone at work has wished me a happy birthday while very carefully avoiding asking how old I am. I don't expect to be asked again until I'm close to 70, even though I could not possibly care less.
At my work, everyone cheerfully tells you you are turning 21 or 18 or something without giving you a chance to actually say. Which is well meant, I guess, but kind of bugs me because I am pleased to be my actual age. Ah well. Work.
Apropos to this discussion, looks like I'll be spending my 40th with my parents, brother &nephews in NM. Weird. Not planned, timing of another trip out west & when my parents have the boys, just made sense to pop down there. Now if this fare sale on SW will ever end, I can book my return to Baltimore...
I'm gonna ask for a pool party, heh.
Oh, yes! Happy Birthday, Dana!
Okay, my homework tonight is to a) get rid of at least 5 things because I'm feeling ruthless and impatient and that's the best time to cull, b) download some Soft Butch images to my tablet from the long list David sent me so I can take it to the salon, and c) make myself a cocktail with vodka and lemon.
Happy Birthday Dana!

Okay, I need some help. My sister keeps not answering me about what my niece might want for graduation, so I want to send her some really horrible ideas/links, and see if that will make her answer. What is the worst thing you can think of for an 18 year old who is about to graduate high school, and then go to NYU in the fall?
I need a new haricut too--feel like sending on what David sent you?

Let me send you the link to a Flickr set that might give you some good ideas.

I made myself a gin & lemon & honey thing in lieu of wine. It was nice.

A llama?
Because there's nowhere to graze near NYU?
[I am bad at this game, I'm pretty sure]
