Thirty
Happy Birthday to me! I'm 30 today. And although there are things I wish were different this year. Things I want to change, I am so thankful. I have very little wincing when I think that I'm 30. I don't feel any different. I feel different that I did 5 years ago, maybe even last year. We're a family in progress and although transition and turmoil is unpleasent it means things are growing and changing.
I wrote Helen Davis-Johnson from Arts Move last week just to see if she got my application. And some trustworthy folks had thought that maybe they were done giving away money for the year. Well, she wrote me back saying applications are accepted on a rolling basis and could I come and tour the neighborhoods sometime. I asked her if this weekend would work, and have yet to hear back, so I'll email her again. But it sounds pretty positive to me! There is so much to be worked out, but I'm hopeful, today, my birthday.
My Prev is in the shop and will be fixed by the weekend. Cuz the only other car we own that has plates, has bad plates and also did not pass the emissions test. ARGH.
My beautiful husband wants to give me something big and wonderful for my birthday, but used all his energy on my opening last weekend. He did go out before 7am this morning and bought me flowers! I also had a much needed laugh last night as I checked out the new shirts from Threadless. So funny, I swear. I bought this one for myself. I mean it makes perfect sense. The Pic of me is wearing my Threadless shirt I got a few months back it says "Purple is the new blue and red" Ha! Perfect for a Mama/Artist.
I have to admit to those of you who don't know I do have a myspace account. I'm about to go check it and see if I got any of those big gaudy sparkly "Happy Birthday" banners. Whatever. It's kinda fun, I can keep up with Thena which is great.
So for my thirtieth birthday go check out our theme song and here's a Josiah video that makes me laugh real hard.
