Another Trip

Trip Around the Sun
~Jimmy Buffett

Hear 'em singing Happy Birthday
Better think about the wish I made
This year gone by ain't been a piece of cake
Every day's a revolution
Pull it together and it comes undone
Just one more candle and a trip around the sun

I'm just hanging on while this old world keeps spinning
And it's good to know it's out of my control
If there's one thing that I've learned from all this living
Is that it wouldn't change a thing if I let go

No, you never see it coming
Always wind up wondering where it went
Only time will tell if it was time well spent
It's another revelation
Celebrating what I should have done
With these souvenirs of my trip around the sun

I'm just hanging on while this old world keeps spinning
And it's good to know it's out of my control
If there's one thing that I've learned from all this living
Is that it wouldn't change a thing if I let go

Yes, I'll make a resolution
Then I'll never make another one
Just enjoy this ride on my trip around the sun
Just enjoy this ride ...
Until it's done

So I posted the same song last year for my birthday. I just really like it. And it's my birthday so I can.

Today I am 28.
I still feel closer to 20 than I do 30.
But I'm not.

One would think having the husband, 2 kids, a mortgage, a dog and a cat would bring me closer to adulthood, but most days I still like I'm faking it.

No big plans for today. John has to go to the doctor. I'll hang with the babies.
(And he's in the 'dog house' because he didn't get me a card. Or anything. Now, I know we don't do big grand things around here, but a card would have been nice. I'm bringing it up every 5 minutes. Maybe next year he'll get a clue and get me a card.)



In other non birthday news...

My back hurts. No. I'm serious. It really hurts. Last night I just could not get comfortable in the bed. This morning I finally got comfy for a little bit.
I was on my stomach with my pillows under my hips and my head just flat on the bed.
Seriously.

Ouch.


Okay the weather is awesome and I will not just sit in this house all day, so I'm off to get the babies up for the day and party like it's my birthday.
Well, okay, that's probably extreme.
I'll revise...
I'll party like it's my birthday and I'm turning 88 instead of 28.

So, I'll watch some TV.

Maybe have a glass of wine later on.

Oh, yeah. I'm getting wild tonight! I may even have two glasses of wine!!



God.
I remember for my 19th birthday (the first birthday with John) we were trashed in a hotel room. We were having sex in the hot tub and I pulled the towel rack off the wall. I think between us we drank an entire bottle of very cheap vodka.


Ok. I take it back. Suddenly, I'm feeling very old.



Edit:
John just got back from going to pick up his meds and he brought me back flowers and a small cake! I know it's because there may have been a small amount of pouting earlier, but I still love it. The flowers smell great. And he really does love me, so I'll cut him a little slack.

Carry on...
