Happy #&*@ Birthday To Me!


Forty-three years ago today, I turned 7. You do the math.

I was going to mark this half-century milestone by staying in bed all day watching Bewitched episodes on Hulu, but since it's also my son's first day of school this year, that plan was blown to heck.

So since I am already out of bed, I will spend this historic day doing a little shopping, having lunch with a friend and waiting for the day to be over.

BTW, this friend who I am having lunch with does not remember it is my birthday and I will not be bringing it up. Don't want any spontaneous outbursts of the Happy Birthday To You song to occur while I'm eating lunch. Why ruin a perfectly nice lunch like that?

Seriously though, I feel like I'm 35. Does your internal age (you know, how old you feel in your mind) ever catch up to your actual age? I mean, when I'm 90 will I feel like I'm 90?

  3. Another Birthday thought! Someone once said if we didnt know how old we are what age would we be? Good question. I think I would be 30..(I was 9 when you were born)LOL!

  9. Happy Birthday, Pam! Hope you have a great day. I don't think your actual age and the way you feel inside ever come together. I hope not anyway :)

  10. Happy Birthday Pam! I am with ya on the not wanting anyone to be singing happy birthday to me while I eat in a public place. :)
    I hope that your day is filled with love and laughter.
    And no I do not think that we ever catch up to our actual age, unless we suddenly look in the mirror and spot the grey's like I did night before last! holy smokes does that have an effect on how old I feel.

  13. Happy birthday.My question is if the mirror ever catches up with my mental image of myself.When I look in the mirror I think I look pretty much the same but then I see photos and think, "When the heck did I get so old?!"Enjoy your day!

  23. No , at least I am 64 and I don't feel like it . Sometimes my body trys to tell my mind how old I am . But most of the time my mind does't listen to it.

  24. Have a spectacular day. I sure that you will have a wonderful lunch with your friend.
    There are days when I feel my age and then there are days that I feel younger. I guess that is part of life.
    "Happy Birthday to You!"

  29. Pam! Happy Birthday! I keep trying to leave a comment here ( this is my third attempt on this post) and BLOGGER won't cooperate. So, if you get a 100 b-day notes from me as I keep hitting return, I swear I am not stalking your blog. Hugs, Andrea @townandprairie

  32. Happy Birthday! I passed that milestone a couple of years ago and, like you, I feel much younger on the inside than my actual age...I hope it never catches up!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Happy Birthday!! ... I'm not far behind this milestone either.

    And I'm about 30 on the inside. What's up with that?! :-) Hope you have a wonderful birthday week.

  34. I'm way behind on blog reading! I wished you happy birthday on another comment, then found this post. 50 ain't nothing girl!! I'm 57 and it doesn't hurt bad at all! I think thrifting and junking keeps us young. What's that poster on Pinterest? How old would you be if you didn't know how old you were? HA! I'd be 25 on most days and 85 on some days. I do hope you had a wonderful day, and I hope the 50s are the best years yet!
