Happy Birthday to me! Today I am 48 years old which is no big deal because I thought I was 48 years old most of the past year. This has happened to me twice before, the first time when I was pregnant for the first time and everyone chalked it up to that. I have figured it out though. I like even numbers. I don't know why. They are easier in some way or something. So each birthday that falls on an odd number I tend to push it up a year unconsciously.
The first time this past year that I realized it was this summer on Kelly's birthday when she said she was 48 years old. We always have a thing where I say she is older (which she is) and she says she isn't (which she is) and that was happening until she said she was 48 years old. I got a tad snippy and reminded her she was 49 years old. She said I had lost my mind. I thought this was part of our game (where she is older) and this went on back and forth for a while until we both got irritated and she had me do the math. It is always exciting to find out that one is younger than one is.
After that episode I received a call from one of the MANY republican phone solicitors wanting me to take a survey regarding the upcoming election. I kept straying from the script trying to explain my disappointments with the republican tea party and how I believe that everyone deserve a chance to live his or her way in this country. I was a bit fired up regarding the matter and when it came time to tell him my personal age I told him I was 48, believing that. It wasn't until I hung up that Madison reminded me I was 47. Oops, I did it again.
So I am now officially 48 years. For another whole year! How exciting is that? I will now be correct in telling my age. And I'm still younger than Kelly! Life is good.
