One day closer to death and hey! it's almost Valentine's Day!
When I logged into Flickr this morning I was greeted with the above image. It is by the fabulous Lisa of SeaUrchin and it shows some of her latest slab work. The giant number 38 jumped out at me. Today I turned 38. Seeing that photo must be a good sign, right? I can't say that I am overjoyed about turning 38. I never thought I would make it past 25, to be honest (it's a long story that involves a Barbie doll and old age as perceived by an 8 year old). Each year I sound more and more like everyone who has stumbled their way towards middle age - I don't like it and I'm not going to be all "with each year comes wisdom and growth and opportunities to better ourselves" and blah blah blah blah give me a freaking break it sucks to get old and I don't care who knows it. And besides, I was born wise. I haven't learned anything new since age 6 and the way I see it the longer I live the more in danger I am of being dumbed down by all the many morons around me. Soooo.....
OK. I'm just kidding. 38 isn't so bad and certainly nothing that a good 4 pounds of chocolate and a bottle of wine can't fix. Above is my self portrait for the Thursday Flickr group. Me at 38. I'll get used to it.In other news, it's that Valentine's Day time of year. I have brought back the conversation heart earrings that I introduced last year. Aren't they sweet? I love them. :)
LOVE posts. There are several other pairs in the shop at the moment along with some heart bracelets and I will be adding more in the coming days. I'll also be tossing a ton of heart pendants in the Extra shop very soon as well. :)

I love that your Barbie topped out at 25...mine was 23~ and she was always either a secretary, waitress or librarian. HA!
Happiest of days to you!

Happy Birthday, Nancy!
I've never really had trouble with my age. Actually I had more trouble with feeling older because of certain unsettling events in my life. My age really had nothing to do with 'feeling old'.
Happy belated birthday! I'll have some chocolate in honor of this great event!
Honest story -- I missed an entire year, thinking I was 35 when I was in actuality 36 (my husband had to break it to me).
