A year older..a year wiser...(?)

Monday was my birthday...  HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me...HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me...  When you turn 40, are you given permission to NOT celebrate birthdays?  I am not 40 YET, but I still feel older than dirt.  I found a magazine at work today, and I soon noticed that it was an over 40 magazine for women; it made me feel YOUNG, but gee--after reading it's contents, it got me really depressed.  I really have so MUCH to look forward to:  night sweats, mood swings, hormone imbalance... Gee, I can't wait. 

To my suprise, I got my journal highlighted in People Connections on AOL.  WOW.  I've noticed how my visitor monitor is going crazy----gee, people are really reading this?!  Oh my.  I better watch what I say on here...  Actually, it is quite flattering that I was chosen to be one of the journals highlighted.  I should feel proud.  I am just worried by some of the comments I've been receiving.  To set the record straight:  I am VERY HAPPILY married, and I am extremely HAPPY with a very loving and terrific family.  I am afraid some of you seemed to believe that I was in a very depressed state and I was looking for a man who I wanted to share a pizza with.  No, and I'm not married to an Eddie Van Halen type of man.  (That was in another life (marriage)).  I'm married to a guy who is quite the opposite.  (But, I'm not saying that Eddie is a jerk by all means...I don't know him, and I'm sure he is a good guy.  It's just life as a rock star is full of twists and turns..I know this because I was very good friends with a woman who was married to a rock star, (ever hear of Jefferson Airplane?) and I've heard the stories.)

Wheww...  Glad that is out of the way.  Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comments...  I really do appreciate them, and I only deleted one of them.  (evil laugh).  P.S.  Yes, I know the Pope was a human being; thanks :)
